The Los Angeles Rams (9-2) remain on fire after blowing out Tampa Bay last Sunday 34-7 as 7.5-point favorites to grab their 6th consecutive victory. The Rams own the best record in the NFC heading into Week 13, while scoring at least 34 points in 4 of the past 5 games. L.A. looks to avoid a letdown with a trip out east against the Carolina Panthers (6-6), who return home following a 20-9 loss at San Francisco.
The Panthers haven’t lost consecutive games since the first 2 weeks of the season. Carolina is 4-0 straight-up and against the spread off a defeat since losing at Arizona in Week 2. Among those victories, the Panthers shocked the Packers as 13.5-point underdogs in Week 9, and home underdog upsets of Atlanta in Week 3 and Dallas in Week 6. Carolina seeks consistency from QB Bryce Young, who has been held to less than 200 passing yards in 8 of the last 9 games. Also, the Panthers have not suffered back-to-back ATS defeats this season, as Carolina has done a nice job of being competitive off a loss.
Rams QB Matthew Stafford is the MVP front-runner, throwing for 2,830 yards, 30 touchdowns, and only 2 interceptions. Stafford has posted multi-touchdown passing efforts in 9 of 11 games, while the Rams have not lost away from SoFi Stadium since the Week 3 meltdown at Philadelphia. The Rams begin a stretch of 4 of the next 5 games on the road, while not leaving the state of California since October 19 when they faced the Jaguars in London. The Panthers have shown a nice knack of rebounding this season, and this can be a down spot for the Rams off a huge Sunday night blowout of the Buccaneers.
