Maybe it's just me but it seems everytime this team and it's fans get over confident about being able to beat its opponents, the team forget to show up to the actuall games.

we're screwed, only time we cover is when we're not favored

[Ruff]

So... since we're favored... I should start Tavon in my fantasy league this week?

To be honest though Houston's D hasn't been all that great this year as compared to what they did last year. They allow way more points now. Not sure what's going on over there, but I'm not entirely impressed with anyone who takes Watt out of the game this year. No offense to Rams fans.

Who wins this will be whoever decides to show up and play consistently for the full 4 quarters.

Panthers are going to lose this game Sunday.

I think this is the toughest game we play since week one against Seattle. The Rams, like us, have a strong front 7 with a ballhawk in Janoris Jenkins on the outside. Their pass rush can be great and I suspect it'll give us some fits on offense. The last few weeks Sam Bradford has been playing good football and they found a bit of a running game against Houston. We need to stop the run first and foremost and get a lead early so we force Bradford into mistakes. I think his pocket presence is suspect and thus we should be able to get sacks and force turnovers.

This game all games down to protecting Cam against that defensive front of theirs and stopping the Rams rushing attack. When the Rams haven't successfully ran the ball they have lost because I don't believe Bradford can take over games with his arm by himself.

20-17 Panthers get the W and get back to .500.

This is the typical Rivera let down game...just like the Cardinals game was.  If we lose, prepare for 6-10, 7-9.

 

If we win, and the offense is impressive, I'll start to feel we're turning the corner.  Not completely until we beat a good team mind you, but starting to turn the corner. 

[hepcat]

Okay so, they're coming off a win, they're at home, they're favored to win...

 

The Panthers are definitely going to lose.

[carolina-chuck]

I think it's a legit loss for us.

[Chaos]

I'll join the reverse psychology bandwagon. We're going to get slaughtered on our home field, like the titans game of 2011.

[Kuech the Sneak]

God i hope they can get to .500, rams are weak against the run and were a good running team. They haven't been able to run the ball consistently and were great against the run, seems like a good matchup

[Happy Panther]

 If there's some way you can think of to know for sure which one of those Panthers teams is likely to show up on Sunday, feel free to explain.

 

All explained here:

Reverse psychology?  These are history-based logic predictions.
