The Rams impressed in last week’s 27-9 Wild Card win over Minnesota, but they’ll have their hands full against an Eagles squad that bullied Green Bay in a 22-10 win last week.

Philadelphia is a six-point favourite to win on the NFL odds, with the total pegged at 44.0.

NFL Point Spread and Betting Analysis

You don’t have to look far back for game tape between these teams as they just met in Week 12. The Eagles beat up on the Rams 37-20 in L.A.’s own building. It’s the second straight season Philadelphia has beat L.A. by over a touchdown on the road.

History isn’t on the Rams’ side in this one as they’re just 1-8 both straight up and against the spread in their last nine games against the Eagles. However, L.A. does come in hot at 6-1 ATS in their last seven games. Unfortunately, Philly has been even hotter at 13-1 SU in their last 14 games while covering in eight of their last 10.

Both teams have played the Under in a majority of games this season. The total has gone Under in four of the Rams’ last five games, while the Eagles have finished below the number in five of seven.

Of the remaining teams in the playoffs, Philadelphia has the third-shortest Super Bowls odds at +450 on the NFL futures board, trailing Detroit (+400) and Kansas City (+350). L.A. sits at +1800, ahead of only Washington (+3000) and Houston (+5000).

Los Angeles Rams

The Rams’ defence showed up against Minnesota last week, terrorizing Sam Darnold all day. L.A. finished with a franchise-record nine sacks, tied for the most in a single game in the Super Bowl era. The big weakness on this defence is against the run, which ranked 23rd in the NFL this season. That spells trouble against an Eagles team that finished with the second-best rushing offence in the NFL during the regular season, led by Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts.

It will be interesting to see how Sean McVay approaches this game offensively. While Matthew Stafford has a strong receiving corps of Puka Nacua, Tyler Higbee and Cooper Kupp, the Eagles had the No. 1 pass defence in the NFL during the regular season. That could lead to more touches for running back Kyren Williams, who had 16 carries for 76 yards last week, and another 16 carries for 72 yards and a TD in Week 12 against Philadelphia.

Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles dominated last week’s game against the Packers from the start, holding Green Bay to just 10 points while generating four turnovers. Philly’s strong defensive game allowed Jalen Hurts to succeed despite underwhelming stats. Hurts, who missed the previous two games in concussion protocol, finished with 131 passing yards, two TDs and 36 rushing yards. Since Week 13, Hurts has thrown for over 140 yards in a game just once.

I’ve got Saquon Barkley circled on my bingo card this week for obvious reasons. Barkley has put up video game stats in his first season in Philly, rushing for over 2,000 yards during the regular season. He’s topped 100 rushing yards in a single game 11 times and he’s averaging 141 rushing yards per game since facing the Rams in Week 12. And speaking of that Week 12 game, Barkley went off for 302 total yards, including a season-high 255 rushing yards and two TDs.
