Chicago, with Caleb Williams under center, has been the comeback king all season long, pulling out the most frustratingly miraculous wins you\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Rams won a surprising 34-31 thriller over the Panthers in the Wild Card Round on Saturday. Just when it looked like Carolina was about to send L.A. home with another loss, Matthew Stafford threw the 19-yard game-winning touchdown to Colby Parkinson with 38 seconds left to seal the win. That game was way too close for comfort, but a win\u2019s a win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Chicago has developed a knack for starting slow before deciding to show up in the fourth quarter. The Bears fell behind 21-6 before rallying off 25 points in the final frame to defeat the Packers 31-27. Los Angeles cannot afford to let them come back. If they\u2019re in a position to keep piling up the points, they must do so to beat a squad deemed a \u201cteam of destiny.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Eventually, the luck will run out on Da Bears, so hopefully it\u2019ll come this week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If you are interested in wagering on this game, then check out your <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbook.fanduel.com\/football\/nfl\/los-angeles-rams-@-carolina-panthers-34973139?tab=popular\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">options<\/a> as <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbook.fanduel.com\/football\/nfl\/los-angeles-rams-@-carolina-panthers-34973139?tab=popular\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FanDuel<\/a> always offers a plethora of ways to wager, and ways to play with <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbook.fanduel.com\/football\/nfl\/los-angeles-rams-@-carolina-panthers-34973139?tab=popular\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">parlays, prop bets<\/a> and whatever else you can think of.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">PSA: Always bet responsibly, and try to have fun with it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Los Angeles Rams are a 4.5-point favorite against the Cinderella Chicago Bears in the Divisional Round, according&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":670424,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2079],"tags":[7,1014,58,19749,2444,2611,6,424],"class_list":{"0":"post-670423","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-rams","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-los-angeles","10":"tag-los-angeles-rams","11":"tag-los-angeles-rams-odds","12":"tag-losangeles","13":"tag-losangelesrams","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-rams"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115880035960090631","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=670423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670423\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/670424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=670423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=670423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=670423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
