Los Angeles Rams (12-5) @ Carolina Panthers (8-9) Preview

The Rams enter the postseason as a team built on experience and execution rather than overwhelming talent. They’ve shown an ability to stay competitive in close games by managing tempo, leaning on play-action, and capitalizing on opponent mistakes. Their margin for error, however, is thin.

Carolina has leaned on physicality and opportunistic defense to reach the postseason. At home, the Panthers are comfortable forcing opponents into long drives and playing the field-position game. Offensively, they rely heavily on balance and limiting turnovers, rather than chasing explosive plays.

This matchup is likely to be tight throughout. If the Rams can stay ahead of the chains and convert third downs, they can control the flow. If Carolina dictates pace and forces the Rams into obvious passing situations, the Panthers gain the upper hand.

The weather should not be a factor. It's expected to be cool and dry, in the mid-40s, with light winds — good conditions for a balanced game.
