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

The Philadelphia Eagles (8-2) travel west to take on the 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 edge (including winning seven of the last eight meetings) while the Rams have a 2-1 edge in the play-offs.

The Eagles are flying into LA on a six-game win streak (tied for the second-longest current win streak in the NFL behind the Detroit Lions’ eight-game streak) after an offense that has emerged of late. 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 came during the Eagles’ streak.

The Rams defense should give the Eagles some problems in this game. Not only do they perform well against the run, but they also bring the pressure of late, something Hurts has been unsure about in recent games. But if the Rams are going to win this game, it will be on the arm of Matthew Stafford. Now that Stafford is back with a full complement of receivers, how they perform against a stout Eagles secondary will likely be the difference in this matchup.

Betting line and choice for the game

The people there FanDuel Sportsbook slightly favor Philadelphia in this game, with the betting line set at Eagles -2.5 points. This should be a very entertaining game and Lions fans will want to tune into this game as it will likely impact the NFC Playoffs.

Prediction: Eagles 31-28
