Rams vs. Panthers Props for Wild Card Weekend

Bryce Young Under 18.5 Rushing Yards (-114)

With the Panthers a 10.5-point home underdog, they've clearly got a tall task in front of them this week, and a negative game script for Bryce Young would likely lead to more drop backs and more chances to scramble.

That makes this under a scary bet, but it's my favorite prop in the game.

Young has solid speed and can run when needed. But he doesn't do it much, carrying the rock just 4.0 times per game this season, which led to him posting 13.5 rushing yards per game. He ran more in losses but still averaged only 17.6 rushing yards in the split.

Outside of the potential for a negative game script, the Rams -- who sit seventh in overall D, per our schedule-adjusted metrics -- are a bad matchup for Young's rushing potential. LA permitted the seventh-fewest rushing yards per game to signal-callers (14.9), and that's with quite a few opponents facing a negative game script.

Plus, it's not a lock the Panthers find themselves in pass-heavy mode in the second half as Carolina won the regular-season meeting between these teams.

Blake Corum Anytime Touchdown (+190)

In a game where the Rams are listed at -108 odds to score 30-plus points, Blake Corum's TD prop is appealing.

As the year wore on, Corum settled into a solid role behind Kyren Williams, with Corum playing at least 25% of the snaps in each of LA's last 11 games. He became a real force in the red zone.

Starting in Week 13, Corum amassed five touchdowns over the final six games of the year. He saw 12 total red zone carries in that span, notching multiple red zone rushing attempts in five of the six games -- including seven carries inside the five. Even as the Rams' RB2, Corum's red zone role is pretty nice.

The Rams are averaging 35.1 points per game over their last seven outings, so there's usually plenty of scoring chances to go around in this offense. Carolina's defense -- a unit that ranks 23rd by our schedule-adjusted metrics -- figures to have a tough time keeping Matthew Stafford and company in check, which could lead to some goal-line opportunities for Corum.
