Philadelphia Eagles

Undefeated Philadelphia Eagles, boasting a 4-0 record, soared to victory with a 34-31 OT triumph over the Washington Commanders. Quarterback Jalen Hurts has been the linchpin, amassing 959 passing yards with 5 TDs, 3 interceptions, and a commendable 67.7% completion rate. Hurts has also been dynamic on his feet, clocking 134 rushing yards with 3 TDs. D’Andre Swift is the lead rusher with 364 yards, while A.J. Brown has emerged as a primary receiver with 29 catches and 414 yards. Defensively, Zach Cunningham dominates with 29 tackles, and Nicholas Morrow leads the sack count with 3. Philadelphia’s defense has notched 11 sacks and 2 interceptions this season, while A.J. Brown is tied for the league lead in 20+ yards receiving touchdowns. Historically, the Eagles dominate on the road and in California, winning their last 11 as road favorites and covering the spread in their last four Golden State outings. Their defense has been particularly tenacious, ranking 1st in the NFL in both forced fumbles and recoveries.

Los Angeles Rams

The Rams rebounded with a 29-23 OT win against Indianapolis, leveling their record at 2-2. Quarterback Matthew Stafford has recorded 1,229 passing yards, albeit with a concerning 3 TDs to 5 interceptions ratio. Kyren Williams leads the ground game with 245 rushing yards, and Puka Nacua stands out in receiving with 39 catches and 501 yards. On the defensive front, Ernest Jones tops the tackle chart with 38, and star player Aaron Donald has 2.5 sacks. However, the Rams have managed only 7 sacks and a lone interception this season. Historically, they have struggled against NFC teams, losing eight of the last nine encounters. They also often falter in covering the spread at home after a victory. Yet, they’re a formidable force in passing, ranking 2nd in the NFL, and have a strong Q1 win percentage.

Prediction 

Bank on the Eagles on BUSR NFL Odds. Their winning momentum and strong performances make them the team to bet on. Despite the Rams’ decent offense, they face challenges in defense. Expect the Eagles to capitalize on this, probably sealing the game by a touchdown or more. Philadelphia’s the pick for this showdown to cover the -4.5 spread with ease.
