Rams-Panthers wild-card picks: Who do experts think will win?

[ASFN Admin]

The Los Angeles Rams head into the wild-card round with revenge on the mind. Not only because they lost the No. 1 seed and the division in the final few weeks of the regular season, but the team's first-round matchup is against a team that beat them late in the year — the Carolina Panthers.

The Rams are heavily favored to beat the Panthers (again), and only one team favored by 10 or more points has lost in the wild-card round. L.A. will also get back some key players like receiver Davante Adams and safety Quentin Lake, although star guard Kevin Dotson isn't ready to return.

All that said, experts agree that the Rams should win this game. Only one expert (ESPN's Dan Graziano) picked the Panthers to upset the Rams.

Here are all the top expert picks for the Rams' wild-card match with the Panthers.
