Happy Postseason!
The first matchup of Wild Card Weekend will feature the Los Angeles Rams (12-5) on the road against the Carolina Panthers (8-9). The Panthers actually lead the all-time regular season series between these teams, 13-10, but the Rams have won two of their three most-recent meetings. However, they last faced off back in late-November, and Carolina was able to win at home, 31-28.
For the night game, the Green Bay Packers (9-7-1) will face a familiar division opponent in the Chicago Bears (11-6). The Packers lead the all-time regular season series between these teams, 108-96-6, but the Bears have won most recently, just a few weeks ago in late-December, 22-16 in overtime. Weather will certainly be a factor in this matchup, and should the Eagles win their Sunday afternoon game against the 49ers, they’ll play the winner of Saturday night’s game — and either host the Packers if they win, or travel to Chicago if the Bears win.
Here’s everything you need to know about Saturday’s games.
