"Bowen: Let's focus on a Rams run game that uses pre-snap movement to gain numbers and blocking angles. In the Week 13 head-to-head matchup versus Carolina, running backs Kyren Williams and Blake Corum combined for 158 yards rushing. I expect Rams coach Sean McVay to use his rushing attack again as a foundational piece versus a Panthers defense that allowed 122.3 rushing yards per game this season (20th in the NFL)."
"When the Panthers have the ball Bowen: In that Week 13 game, Carolina ran the ball 40 times. That's a big number. But even with the reduced throwing volume for quarterback Bryce Young (20 attempts), he hit some shot plays in short-yardage situations, where you can prep for man coverage tendencies in this league. I do believe Young and this Panthers offense will have to create some explosive plays in this one to upset the Rams."
The Rams enter as heavy road favorites with a run-first approach that uses pre-snap movement to create numerical advantages and blocking angles. Kyren Williams and Blake Corum combined for 158 rushing yards in the Week 13 meeting, and Sean McVay is expected to lean on the rushing attack against a Panthers defense that allowed 122.3 rushing yards per game. Recommended play: Kyren Williams OVER 64.5 rushing yards based on consistent volume and recent production. Carolina ran 40 times in Week 13 and will need explosive plays from Bryce Young to challenge Los Angeles. Jalen Coker profiles as a 20-plus-yard reception candidate.
