Eagles vs. Rams predictions and best bets

The theme will be the same for all of these predictions. Despite all the Eagles’ success during the win streak, their opponents haven’t pushed them. We expect that to change Sunday night.

Philadelphia has had the luxury of taking its foot off the gas throughout its six-game winning streak. That will not be the case in LA. The Rams’ offense has been back to full strength for several games, and it is finally clicking like everyone expected.

We expect the Rams to pull out all the stops and open the playbook like never before. In their postseason chase, this is a desperate spot for the Rams. They are only one game out of first place in the NFC West, and a win over such a strong team would put pressure on the other three division teams.

That desperation will not be enough to beat the Eagles on Sunday. Philadelphia is two years removed from playing in the Super Bowl. It was on pace to do so again last season before the bottom fell out in the second half.

There are no signs of that repeating itself this year. This seems like a team capable of winning the NFC for the second time in three seasons.

This game is the kind that the Philly team from two years ago would win, and we believe that will be the case again on Sunday Night Football.

Why Philadelphia could win as the favorite

Best odds: -146 at FanDuel Sportsbook

Sometimes when you rekindle an old flame, the momentum can carry on for a long time. Many of these Eagles players remember what it was like to play in the Super Bowl two seasons ago. After a disappointing performance last year, they can once again sense success on the horizon.

Philadelphia’s recent opponents have had warts, but that doesn’t mean the Eagles cannot rise to another level. They have done it before on their way to an NFC championship and can do it again.

Why Los Angeles could win as the underdog

Best odds: +130 at Caesars Sportsbook

Like the Eagles, the Rams were in the Super Bowl not too long ago. Unlike the Eagles, the Rams lifted the Lombardi Trophy at the end.

It remains to be seen whether LA can repeat that postseason run. For now, the offense is operating at a similar level to those Super Bowl 56 champions. When Matt Stafford, Kyren Williams, Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua are at their best, the Rams are among the toughest offenses to stop.

The Eagles have played great defense lately but haven’t played an offense as well-equipped as the Rams. Philly may be in for a rude awakening on the fast SoFi Stadium turf. Look for LA to take this one down to the wire.
