NFL Best Bet - Rams vs Eagles
(NFL) Rams (LAR) vs. Eagles (PHI),
Point Spread: -6.50 | -105.00 Eagles (PHI) (Home)
Result: Loss
There’s a lot of love from the pundits for the Rams because of the way they took care of business against the Vikes, including nine sacks. But Minnesota was 29th in sacks given up and there is a world of difference between the mobility of Sam Darnold and Jalen Hurts. And there is also a ton of difference between the two offensive lines.
The other factor in this one will be the weather. 32 degrees and snow pretty much during the entire game. Matt Stafford, who plyed his college ball at Georgia, NFL games indoors in Detroit, and sunny LA, doesn’t do well in the snow. This nugget from Tucker Bagley of WIP pretty much lays out the numbers. Matthew Stafford outdoors in the rain/snow: 1-8 record, 54.6 completion percentage, 14 TDs, 11 INTs. 76.0 passer rating.
These two teams played earlier in the season and Philly won 37-20, behind a career-high 255 yards rushing. Barkley may not get two hundred again but the Eagles should have plenty for the Rams.
