Two NFC Giants who are coming off a loss go head to head this Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. Going into the season, the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles were certainly two of the top picks to make it through that side of the NFL, but there may be doubts after three games. The Rams lost an NFC West Divisional game in Melbourne to open the season, beat the Giants in Week 2, then let a Sunday Night game in Denver slip away from them, after leading 16-0 at halftime. Can Sean McVay bring his squad back to life on the road? Or will Jalen Hurts and company respond after a poor showing in the Windy City on Monday Night? Find out with our expert NFL picks below.
Los Angeles Rams vs. Philadelphia Eagles Game Information
The Eagles put up a stinker against Chicago. Will they turn it around at home this Sunday?
Like I said, the Rams have alternated losses this year, but they were on the road in Denver up 16-0 at half. This team was outscored 30-10 in the second half to let the Donkeys come back and lose. On the other hand, the Eagles put up a stinker against… *checks notes*… Case Keenum and the Bears in Chicago, losing 27-7. Will they get back in the win column at home?
Last year, when these two teams played, the Rams led 26-7 in Philly early in the second half. They did not score again. But it gets even wilder.
The Eagles took the lead with two minutes left, but failed a two point conversion that would have put them up three. Los Angeles drives down and is about to set up a game winning 44 yard field goal, and win outright as 3.5 point underdogs. Low and behold, the Eagles not only block the kick, but take it all the way back for six points to cover the spread. A horrible beat. Can LA use that as motivation and get some redemption on Sunday? The books think so.

Rams vs. Eagles NFL Analysis and Insights
Matthew Stafford has thrown a pick in every single game this year, tossing two against Denver in their loss. He needs to clean it up, but we should've expected some regression from the 38 year old MVP. Both teams are banged up, which makes this more interesting.
For the Rams, no Aaron Donald or Jaylen Watson on the defensive side of the ball, and no Terrance Ferguson on offense. On top of that, their other TE Colby Parkinson is questionable. As for Philly, Dallas Goedert remains sidelined while DeVonta Smith joins him this weekend, out with a hamstring injury. Zack Baun and Marcus Epps are both questionable as well.
Will either offense be able to move the ball without certain skill players? Personally, I think we are in for some points.

Both of these teams have two games where they scored in the 20s, and one where they only put up a touchdown. On the other side of the ball, the Rams are allowing 28.5 points per game in their losses, while Philly allows 23 per contest. I think this one turns into a shootout, even with some skill players missing.
Aaron Donald will not be upfront to help stop Saquon Barkley from running all over the field. Jaylen Watson won't be there to lock up some hungry Eagles' receivers who will be looking to leave their mark with Smith on the sidelines. Plus I don't have faith in Philly being able to slowdown this loaded Rams' offense.
This line has steamed down plenty since opening with injury news, but I don't think we're asking for too much. A 24-21 game either way will push us over.
