Eagles vs Rams Prediction
I’m on the Under in this one. I think that the Rams will face a stiffer test here against this Eagle defense and could be closer to the low-scoring output we saw in week one against Houston. But I also think this Rams defense is legit, and we’re seeing the Eagles go with a more run heavy, clock dominant approach. I’m rocking with the under in this one.
