The Rams come out of the best division in the NFL, and the Panthers are from the worst. LA has a far better record, yet Carolina gets the home-field advantage because it won the meek NFC South.
Remember, these teams played in the regular season, and the Panthers stunned the Rams at Carolina.
The NFL odds have LA as a 10-point favorite with a total at 46½ points on Saturday. Carolina has to find a way to contain Puka Nakua.
Davante Adams should be back. Still, that is a ton of points to give a home underdog despite it having zero playoff experience.
- Pick: Panthers + 10.5 points
