One of the more exciting games in Sunday’s action-packed slate is a matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams. The Eagles are one of two remaining teams without a loss while the Rams are welcoming back Cooper Kupp to the offense. Let’s get into my Same Game Parlay, and be sure to check out our Philadelphia Eagles vs Los Angeles Rams predictions.
Los Angeles Rams +4.5 (-115) over Philadelphia Eagles
This may be an unpopular pick, but I'm just not fully on board with the Eagles this season. Yes, Philadelphia is 4-0, but it’s been a very easy start so far with wins over the Patriots, Vikings, Buccaneers and Commanders. And it's not like the Eagles have been blowing the bad teams out of the water either – their biggest win was by just 14 to the Bucs. In their other three wins, the Eagles won by less than a touchdown. Even last week, it took until overtime to beat Sam Howell and the Commanders. The Philadelphia defense doesn't have the same scare factor that they did last season, and its secondary has been a huge weakness through four weeks. I think oddsmakers are overvaluing the Eagles, and underestimating the Rams.
The Rams are 2-2 after four weeks, but their two losses haven't been “bad” losses. The first one came from San Francisco as Brock Purdy and the Niners won by 7 points at home. Their second loss came from the Bengals, which was more of a weird loss than a bad loss. But there's a huge difference between the team the Rams had in the last four weeks and the team that the Rams will have in Week 5, and that's because of Cooper Kupp. Matthew Stafford's favorite target is back this week, so between him, Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams, the Rams have a great chance to complete the upset – or cover the spread at the minimum.
