Philly beat L.A. 37-20 earlier this season (Nov. 24) at SoFi Stadium, as the Eagles outgained the Rams 481-290 in total yards with 314 yards on the ground (7.0 YPC). Los Angeles was 0-for-8 on third down and lost the time of possession and turnover battles.

Los Angeles' defense shined against Minnesota, but that may have said more about Vikings QB Sam Darnold than anything else, as he was indecisive and his offensive line continued to struggle in pass protection. While the Rams' fast, small defense took advantage of that matchup, the Eagles' power run scheme is a different beast. Saquon Barkley ran all over L.A. in the first matchup, toting the rock 26 times for 255 yards (9.8 YPC) and two scores, with 47 receiving yards for good measure. The Philadelphia o-line mauled the Rams' defensive front, as Barkley averaged 7.3 yards before contact. Los Angeles has not been good on early downs defensively this season and allowed over 28 points per game against teams with top-ten rushing offenses. In short, don't expect Philadelphia to throw it a ton.

On the other side of the ball, I can't envision a great offensive performance by Los Angeles on a short week after traveling cross-country to play in freezing weather. Matthew Stafford won't look the same in Sunday's conditions as he has indoors this season. I expect Philadelphia to take away the Rams' deep game, forcing L.A. into a more run-heavy script. Let's not forget that the first matchup between these games wasn't particularly close, as Philly led 37-14 at the two-minute warning.

Bet on Philadelphia to cover the six-point spread with ease!
