Meanwhile, the Rams are on a two-game skid of their own after losing to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5 by a score of 22-10.

Panthers vs Rams Prediction & Pick
The Rams certainly don't look like the same team that won the Super Bowl last season. With that being said, this lines up as the perfect bounce back opportunity. Keep in mind the Panthers will be without their starting quarterback in Baker Mayfield on Sunday as he tends to a high ankle sprain.
Carolina has earned just one win over it last 11 games dating back to the 2021 season. The Panthers are also averaging a league-low 271.4 yards per game as well as only 4.9 yards per play (T-No. 26 in NFL). Veteran defenders like Aaron Donald and Bobby Wagner should wreak havoc on QB PJ Walker.
Final Score Prediction:'Panthers: 10 | Rams: 27

Panthers vs Rams Best Bet
There's a lot to like about the Rams' chances of blowing out the Panthers in Week 6. Carolina is a dismal 1-11 against the spread (ATS) in its last 12 games and will have an interim head coach in Steve Wilks manning the sideline on Sunday. Time is going to be needed for both him and Walker to adjust.
Sean McVay knows the importance of getting back on the right track, too. LA's next two matchups following this one come against the San Francisco 49ers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Entering those games with a losing record would be a nightmare, so it's do-or-die time for QB Matthew Stafford.
