I have a feeling Canales is going to majorly overcorrect and try to run the ball 75 times.

keep the ball out of Matthew Staffords hands as much as possible & play to your strengths which is the run game

...just ssaying that might not be a bad idea ?

NFL continues to fix games to keep playoff races close down the stretch. 
 

Panthers win vs Rams keeps them in lock step with the Bucs making for a competitive race in the south and also keeps their week 17 game against Seattle (which will most likely be a national game on a Saturday) important. 
 

Rams lose resulting in a tightening of the nfc west which coincides with those teams playing against each other multiple times down the stretch with some of those games in primetime. 
 

Panthers benefit from some roughing the passer calls that are questionable and some phantom holds on the rams oline which derails drives. 
 

Rams losing outright also immensely helps Vegas as I’d imagine almost every moneyline parlay has the rams sprinkled in.

I think it would take a perfect storm of a number of things happening for the Panthers to win. Similar to the Packers game but even more so since the Rams are a better team than the Packers. Each thing happening alone would be very reasonable, but all of them happening in the same game is nearly impossible. 

1 - The Rams come out flat and unprepared having to travel across the country after a holiday week allowing the Panthers to build an early lead. 

2 - Weather impacts the game, lowering the scoring 

3 - The Panthers play a complete game in all three phases. 

4 - Backups overachieve in place of injured/suspended starters 

5 - Matt Stafford does not finish the game and/or has his worst game of the season.

 6 - The game is fairly officiated and not rigged 

To me at least 4 out of the 6 of these things need to happen for the Panthers to even have a chance to win. Otherwise it will be a game that is over by halftime, which I fully expect.

Similar to the 49ers game where we saw the officials allowing the 49ers to openly get away with holding on the opening drive, we knew the game was never attainable from the first snap. The Rams might be getting a gift of a win even if they come out and play like dogshit. But we will see, that’s why they play the game.
