Will the Panthers be able to overcome their injuries and inexperience to pull off a stunning upset, or will the Rams’ sheer talent and experience prove too much to handle? As Bank of America Stadium prepares to host this thrilling matchup, one thing is certain: only one team will emerge victorious on New Year’s Eve night.
