Philadelphia Eagles (8-2) at Los Angeles Rams (5-5), 8:20 p.m. Sunday
The Line: Eagles minus-3/Whole: 48.5
What’s the line telling you:
The market opened with the Eagles initially as a 2.5-point street favorites and has moved as much as as excessive as minus-3, with the mixed complete set at 48, with a half-point transfer there. Oddsmakers expect factors, which is stunning, contemplating the Eagles’ protection has been enjoying lights out the final six video games. As of proper now, they’ve let up the third lowest quantity of factors within the NFC and fourth-least in all the NFL. Once you have a look at the Eagle’s six-game profitable streak, apart from the Washington Commanders, their opponent’s cumulative report was 13-25, whereas the Rams have really performed harder competitors and received 4 of the final 5 video games. The Rams have a high quality win over the 8-2 Vikings. Anytime a workforce goes cross nation on the street, particularly towards a Tremendous Bowl-winning coach like Sean McVay, and a Tremendous Bowl-winning quarterback like Matt Stafford, it’s by no means straightforward.
Backside line:
The Rams have the higher coach and the higher quarterback, and the Eagles are overvalued going into this recreation. With the Rams plus-3, you’re on that key quantity the place virtually 70% of all NFL video games fall on. I like the house canine right here. I believe they’ll cowl the unfold. This can be a kind of video games that no matter workforce has the ball final wins. We’ll take the three factors on a coin flip each time.
Prop bets for the sport
Jalen Hurts over 220.5 passing yards, minus-110
Saquon Barkley anytime landing, minus-170

AROUND THE NFL
San Francisco 49ers (5-5) at Inexperienced Bay Packers (7-3), 4:25 p.m. Sunday
The Line: Packers minus-3/Whole: 46.5
What’s the line telling you:
It is a big recreation for each groups. The Niners are wanting up on the Arizona Cardinals within the NFC West. The Packers try to maintain up with the Lions and the Vikings. Each groups rank within the high 10 in turnover margin. Inexperienced Bay ranks barely larger.
Backside line:
I just like the Packers right here for something beneath a subject aim. Most sportsbooks have the Packers as a minus-2. There are some 2.5 on the market out there with the rumors of Brock Purdy presumably not enjoying and listed as questionable. It’s a great quantity to leap on. The Packers are the more healthy workforce getting into this matchup with a plus-7 well being rating and a plus-12 well being rating on protection. The Packers have revenge on their minds from final 12 months’s playoff loss to the Niners. Clearly, the Tremendous Bowl hangover is actual. That is it for the Niners. After they lose on Sunday, their season can be over. They may have 5 video games left towards some good groups: Buffalo, the Dolphins, Detroit, the Rams and Arizona. It is a huge recreation for the Packers, and a good greater recreation for the Niners. We just like the Packers minus-3.
