Los Angeles Rams vs. Carolina Panthers Prediction

I will look for every possible way to fade the team that lost their way into the playoffs. The Panthers stumble into an NFC South title and are rewarded with having to face the Los Angeles Rams in the Wild Card round.

The Rams are the 2nd most efficient offense in the NFL, totaling .149 EPA/play. They are equally as effective in the air and on the ground, ranking 3rd in dropback EPA and 4th in rush EPA. The Panthers rank 26th in EPA/play on offense. There is a clear advantage for the Rams.

The talent disparity continues to grow when you look at the defenses. The Rams rank 7th in EPA/play allowed, where the Panthers rank 23rd.

Let's look at Action Network's luck rankings, where the Rams come in as the unluckiest team in the playoffs at 27th, while the Panthers rank 12th. Yet again, another advantage for the Rams.

The Panthers may have taken the regular season matchup, but the Rams get their revenge and then some in the playoffs.
