LA Rams vs. Carolina Panthers Prediction
Despite being the visitors and the No. 5 team, the Rams actually have a better record at 12-5 than Carolina at 8-9. That being said, the Rams have been the better team this season, so this one should go to LA, especially with just how good Matthew Stafford has been all year.
