And they opened as 4.5-point home favorites for this matchup, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbook.fanduel.com\/navigation\/nfl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FanDuel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The snowy game between these two teams back in January was epic. There wasn\u2019t a moment the 2024 Eagles were ever closer to being eliminated from the playoffs than when the Rams were driving for a potential game-winning touchdown. That is, before Jalen Carter shut the door on LA\u2019s season by sacking Matthew Stafford on third down and then pressuring him into a fourth down incompletion to seal the deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Rams clearly aren\u2019t over that night. Back in July, starting Los Angeles defensive tackle Kobie Turner said \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bleedinggreennation.com\/2025\/7\/21\/24471447\/eagles-news-rams-player-team-week-3-game-philadelphia-circled-calendar-nfl-kobie-turner-schedule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">we definitely have that game circled<\/a>\u201d when asked about the Week 3 trip to Philly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Revenge could be on the table. The Rams are off to a 2-0 start after beating the Houston Texans in Week 1 and the Tennessee Titans in Week 2. Stafford is still playing well despite missing time in training camp due to a back injury. The combination of Davante Adams and Puka Nacua figure to challenge an Eagles secondary with a big question mark named Adoree\u2019 Jackson at CB2. The Rams\u2019 defense has generated eight sacks through two games, which ranks tied for second-most in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Of course, that defense really struggled to contain Saquon Barkley in two games last season (460 rushing yards, 74 receiving yards, 4 total TD). The Eagles could look to heavily rely on him once again, especially with their passing game looking like \u2026 a work in progress (to be generous).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">What say you? Do you like the Eagles to not only beat the Rams but win by more than four points?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After facing a \u201cSuper Bowl rematch\u201d in Week 2, the Philadelphia Eagles are entering a \u201cDivisional Round rematch\u201d&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":228173,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5132],"tags":[5229,1448,2830,1311,123294,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-228172","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-pa","10":"tag-pennsylvania","11":"tag-philadelphia","12":"tag-philadelphia-eagles-odds","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115207148937715722","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228172"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228172\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/228173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
