The buy sign is on for Carolina. The Panthers came out of their bye refreshed and invigorated beating the Cardinals.

I don't see Cam Newton and Co. slipping up against the Rams. Carolina is coming off an eight-sack game. The Panthers' lone major weakness is their secondary particularly cornerback. But Case Keenum doesn't have the talent or weapons to take advantage.

Only two teams score fewer points per game than the Rams, who barely average 17. Todd Gurley has been the most disappointing running back in the NFL averaging 57 yards per game and failing to break the 100-yard rushing barrier in 14 of his last 15 games.

The Rams' defense has proven vastly overrated forcing just one turnover in their last three games and having only 10 sacks on the season. The Rams also have been dealing with key defensive injuries. It's a plus for the Panthers if the Rams continue to miss cornerback Trumaine Johnson and defensive lineman Michael Brockers.

Carolina's ground attack is back on track, too, with Jonathan Stewart returning to the lineup.
