Rams at Eagles: Odds, betting lines, picks and prediction
Prediction
Rams 24, Eagles 21
Money line (?)
This game is essentially a toss-up, as evidenced by the money line on both sides and the 2-point spread. The Rams will be facing a vastly different Eagles team than the one Washington beat in Week 1.
With the Eagles expected to have OT Lane Johnson, RB Miles Sanders and DT Javon Hargrave all healthy, they’ll be in better shape than they were in the season opener. Still, the Rams are healthy and coming off a statement win, boasting a balanced offensive attack and aggressive defense.
Take the RAMS (+110) to win outright.
Against the spread (?)
The Rams are 2-point underdogs over Philadelphia. Although the Eagles have had the Rams’ number, this is a very winnable game for Los Angeles, even with the Eagles healthier coming into Week 2.
The small spread has minimal impact, which is why I’m going with the RAMS +2 (-110) to cover the 1-point margin and still win in a close one.
Over/Under (?)
The Over/Under is lower for the Rams this week, but the total is higher than the Eagles saw in the season opener. At 45.5 points, it’s not overly high, but these teams both have strong defenses with dominant interior defenders and elite corners.
The offenses will get their points, but not enough to put the total Over 45.5. Take the UNDER 45.5 (-110).
