NFL expert picks for Panthers vs. Rams wild-card game

[ASFN Admin]

A little over five weeks ago, the Carolina Panthers pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the 2025 season—and it came at the expense of the mighty Los Angeles Rams.

The Panthers stood tall against the NFC's No. 1 seed that afternoon—passing for three touchdowns, rushing for 164 yards and causing a trio of turnovers from an MVP frontrunner. And by the end of that Week 13 matchup, Carolina came out with a stunning 31-28 win.

But can they do it again?

Here's who the NFL experts are picking for Saturday's wild-card rematch at Bank of America Stadium . . .
