Rams vs Eagles Prediction
The current betting odds have the Eagles listed as a 6 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Eagles have looked really good in their games this season with their 14-3 record overall which leads the NFC East with one of the best records in the NFL. They won their game in the Wild Card Round over the Packers and their defense looked great in that one, only giving up 10 points. Meanwhile, the Rams have looked good in their games this season with their 10-7 record overall which leads the NFC West. They had to play their Wild Card game at a neutral site in Arizona due to the fires in LA, but the Rams still came away with a win over the Vikings in that one. The Rams looked great on defense in that game and their defense has looked really good over the last month. Their offense also looked a lot better in that one, but they have been really up and down on offense over the last month and now they will be on the road in a tough environment against one of the best defenses in the NFL. The Eagles didn't look great on offense last week, but their defense got the job done and their offense was still shaking off the rust with Hurts coming back from a concussion. Now the Eagles have a game under their belt with Hurts back and their offense will look a lot better in this one. The Rams have been great defensively, but the Eagles already crushed them in LA earlier this season and the Rams had no answer for the Eagles running game which will be a big part of this game too. The best way to place a bet here is on the Eagles to cover the spread in this game.
Rams Eagles Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Sunday, January 19, 2025 (3:00 pm ET start time) is Eagles 31 Rams 14.

Notable Quotes
“I thought they epitomized and represented the city the right way. You talk about sports offering a platform for people to come together and offer a little temporary relief — I thought the way our team competed tonight was what that looked like.” - Sean McVay after his team’s win against the Vikings in their last game.
“I don't think we had the game we wanted to have on offense. Jalen did a lot of good things. Jalen is a winner. He wins. No one can argue that.” - Nick Sirianni after his team’s win against the Packers in their last game.
