On paper, the Los Angeles Rams are only one game below .500, coming off 3 straight losses that could have easily swung in their favor if not for a play here and there, most notably late game interceptions thrown by Case Keenum. The Rams are also coming off a much needed bye week which could only help the team regroup after those tough, heartbreaking loses and the thousands of miles of travel over the past month.
All that being said, the Carolina Panthers have not exactly looked sharp, aside from Cam Newton‘s postgame outfits, and will be entering Week 9 on the road with a 2-5 record.
