Key Details
Los Angeles Rams
Last week, the Los Angeles Rams showed remarkable resilience, outscoring the Tennessee Titans 23-6 in the second half after trailing at intermission. Quarterback Matthew Stafford delivered a masterclass in the second half against Tennessee, completing passes at an elite level and showcasing the arm strength that made him a championship quarterback. The connection between Stafford and newly acquired receiver Davante Adams is beginning to flourish, as Adams hauled in six catches for 106 yards and a touchdown while surpassing 12,000 career receiving yards.
The Rams’ defense has made significant improvements since their championship season, particularly in stopping the run. The additions of linebacker Nate Landman and defensive tackle Poona Ford in free agency were specifically made with games like this in mind. Both players ranked among the top run defenders at their positions last season, and their presence will be crucial against Philadelphia’s power running attack.
Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles enter this matchup with supreme confidence after their gutsy road victory over the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has masterfully mixed his coverages and pressure packages. Against Kansas City, he brought heat early with four blitzes on the opening 10 dropbacks, then adjusted throughout the game to keep Patrick Mahomes uncomfortable. Safety Andrew Mukuba has been a revelation, recording the game-sealing interception against the Chiefs while also contributing six tackles and half a sack.
The Eagles’ running game has found its rhythm with Saquon Barkley leading the charge. Barkley rushed for 88 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries against Kansas City, consistently finding holes and wearing down the defense. The offensive line, anchored by All-Pro tackle Lane Johnson, has created consistent push in short-yardage situations, making the “Tush Push” virtually unstoppable.
Prediction
The Eagles cannot be accused of bribing the schedule maker. A brutal start to the season with Dallas, then Kansas City, and now Los Angeles has to take its toll. We think the Eagles will finally falter. Or, it will be a real close game, and we like the spread.
