Chris’ Pick

I’m sticking with the Eagles here. The Eagles just keep finding ways to win and I’m just not a fan of the Rams and this patchwork roster they have put together, especially on defense around Aaron Donald. The offense has been decent and Puka Nacua’s a diamond in the rough, but I think this is a game where the Eagles have no problem flexing their muscle and winning this by at least a touchdown. Give me Philly here.
