Live Thread: Eagles at Rams on ‘Sunday Night Football’

The Philadelphia Eagles (8-2) travels west to gain weight Los Angeles Rams (5-5) in a battle for positioning in the NFC. These two teams have met 44 times in their history, with the Eagles holding a 22-18-1 regular season lead (including winning seven of the last eight meetings) while the Rams hold a 2-1 advantage in the playoffs.

The Eagles fly to LA on a six-game winning streak (tied for the second-longest current streak in the NFL behind the Detroit Lions’ eight-game streak) behind an offense that has been sparking lately. Saquan Barkley reminds everyone how bad the Giants’ front office is, leading the NFL in rushing yards per game (113.7) with an impressive 10 all-purpose touchdowns. Not to be outdone, quarterback Jalen Hurts has 11 rushing touchdowns on the season, nine of which have come during the Eagles’ streak.

The Rams’ defense should give the Eagles some trouble in this game. Not only do they perform well against the run, but they also bring the pressure lately, something Hurts has been appalling with in recent games. But if the Rams are going to win this game, it will be on the arm of Matthew Stafford. With Stafford equipped with a full set of receivers again, how they perform against a strong Eagles’ secondary will likely be the difference in this game.

Bet line and selection for the game

The people over at FanDuel Sportsbook slightly favors Philadelphia in this game where the betting line is set Eagles -2.5 points. This should be a very entertaining game and Lions fans will want to tune in for this game as it will likely affect the NFC playoffs.

Prediction: Eagles 31-28
