Los Angeles Rams vs. Philadelphia Eagles Prediction
I’m on the under in this one. I just expect a constantly moving clock in this game between two teams that I think prefer to run the rock more than anything else. The Rams have more punch offensively, but we’ve also seen them struggle against solid defensive units and I’m not all the way out on the Eagles as of yet. I think this is a 21-17 kind of game so give me the under here.
