Panthers vs. Rams Pick
After earning their first win of the season last week, the Carolina Panthers look to make it two in a row when they take on the St. Louis Rams this Sunday. Read on to check out our pick for this Week 8 contest.
Oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com have made the Rams 3-point favorites over the Panthers in Week 8. The over/under total for this game is currently 37 points.
Let’s get to our free pick.
The Panthers are just 1-5 this year and have failed to cover in four of their first six games. They’re also 0-2 on the road, although they did mange to cover against the Saints as a double-digit underdog.
The Rams are 3-4 this year but have covered in five of their first seven games. They’re 3-1 at home and covered in three of those games, which include outright wins over the Redskins, Seahawks and Chargers.
Our Free Pick:
The Panthers have had a ton of success against the Rams over the years, but this is a different Carolina team than we’re accustomed to. They picked up their first win of the season last week, but they beat a bad 49ers team in their own backyard. The Rams are playing with a ton of confidence right now – especially at home – and could have easily beaten the Bucs last week in Tampa (they were dominating the entire game). The home team is 5-2 against the number in the last seven meetings between these two teams and we think Sam Bradford picks up his fourth win of his young career. Our pick is the Rams minus the points.
