Rams vs Eagles Prediction
The current betting odds have the Rams listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Rams haven't looked great in their games this season with their 1-2 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the NFC West. They haven't been a great road team either with their 0-1 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Eagles have looked good in their games this season with their 2-1 record overall which has them right near the top of the NFC East. They have looked good on their home field too with their 1-0 home record this season. The Eagles haven't looked that great in their 3 games though. They had a great start to the season with 2 wins, but they also barely beat 2 bad teams in those games. They beat the Commanders 24-22 in their season opener and then beat the Titans 24-20 on a last minute TD scoring drive. Now they are coming off a 27-7 loss to the Bears in their last one and they got embarrassed by a team playing with their 3rd string QB. The offense looked terrible for the Eagles in that one and now they are going to be on a shorter week after playing Monday night. The Rams are coming off a 30-26 loss to the Broncos in their last one and that was a bad loss for them since they were up 16-0 at one point. They ended up blowing that lead late in the game and now the team that was the Super Bowl favorite entering this season is staring at a 1-2 start. The Rams didn't look bad on offense in that loss though and they have looked a lot better as a team since that season opener in Australia. The Rams are also in a really tough division with the Super Bowl champions and they can't be starting the season 1-3. The Rams aren't nearly as bad as their record in these first 3 games, so look for them to bring their best effort to avoid a 1-3 start to the season. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rams to cover the spread in this game.
