Earliest Cash - Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL Rotation #262 Sunday 8* Philadelphia Eagles Money Line (-) vs Los Angeles Rams @ 1 ET - Right away when this line opened up with Philly -3.5 I knew what was going to happen. That was an open invitation to take the Rams and of course that is what happened. The bets flowed in on Los Angeles and drove this line into the pick'em range. Of course the reason for that is bettors have a short memory span. They remember what they just saw and, of course, everyone saw the Eagles blow a 17 point lead at Washington to lose to a lousy football team while then later watching the Rams beat "America's Team" on national television. Never put too much weight into one week's results. Also, the Eagles will have Lane Johnson back for the offensive line this week plus their starting RB Miles Sanders too. Those are two very key pieces and will help rectify the fact that QB Carson Wentz had no chance in Week 1. He was sacked 8 times and threw 2 picks and also lost a fumble. The Eagles will be better able to establish the ground game this week which will open up the passing game which will also feature better pass protection based on healthier bodies. The Rams are a good team for sure but they are coming off a home win while the Eagles are off a road loss. Now LA is all the way on the East Coast for a game that starts at 10 AM on their body clocks and they're facing an angry Eagles team. Philadelphia won each of its last 4 regular season games last season and also 4 of their last 6 home games in regular season action. Back home and off a disappointing road loss and catching the Rams off an upset win, situations don't get much better than this. With the line having settled back into the -1.5 range on this one, the best value in my opinion is to utilize the low price on the money line. 8* PHILADELPHIA money line (-120 range)
