Don’t expect a Week 12 repeat.
Oddsmakers are anticipating a much tighter game when the Eagles and Rams clash for the second time this season Sunday for a divisional-round game in Philadelphia.
The Eagles have been installed as six-point favorites at BetMGM Sportsbook, with the total sitting at 43.5 for the early game in the two-contest slate.
The last Rams-Eagles game has served as the turning point for Los Angeles, which has not lost at full strength since that 37-20 home setback that dropped it to 5-6.
Team | Spread | Moneyline | Odds |
---|---|---|---|
Rams | +6 (-110) | +225 | o43.5 (-110) |
Eagles | -6 (-110) | -275 | u43.5 (-110) |
Saquon Barkley dominated that matchup, rushing for an Eagles single-game record 255 yards and scoring two touchdowns during “Sunday Night Football.”
He tallied 70-yard and 72-yard touchdowns in the game — the first opening the second half and the latter icing the game with less than three minutes remaining — to help Philadelphia cruise to an easy win.
Stopping Barkley will clearly be the Rams’ priority this time around, especially after Jalen Hurts’ inconsistent performance in the 22-10 home wild-card win over the Packers on Sunday.
Hurts completed just 13 of 21 passes for 131 yards and two touchdowns.
A.J. Brown also had his way with the Rams during the regular-season clash, tallying six catches for 109 yards and one touchdown.
Philadelphia out-gained the Rams, 481-290, including 314 yards rushing.
The Rams’ top offensive players all had solid stat lines in the lopsided loss, but they only had 13 points before a garbage-time touchdown.
The offensive line also allowed five sacks, while Kyren Williams had a costly turnover.
Both teams are entering this game after covering against the spread (ATS) in their respective wild-card wins, with the Eagles winning as favorites and the Rams upsetting the Vikings as underdogs.
Philadelphia is 12-6 ATS this season, while the Rams are a respectable 10-8, according to covers.com.
Matt Ehalt has been picking against the spread since his childhood days when he entered his father’s newspaper pool and even took the top prize on more than one occasion. He specializes in NFL wagers and is quite successful with NCAA brackets.
