Rams at Eagles

Congrats to the Rams on their win in Arizona over Vikings. On to Philly to take on the Eagles. Eagles, no doubt one of the better teams in the league. A tough task for the L.A. squad.

Eagles run, run and run. 38 times per game, league leaders. Nobody could stop them, so why not? Eagles lead on most rushing stats like yards gained rushing, first downs rushing. They don't need to throw the ball. (see last week's Packers-Eagles Wildcard feature for how this works). Not needing to throw, limits Eagles stat for number of incomplete passes--one of Woody Hayes' bad outcomes.

On pass offense, it's neck and neck with Eagles at 11th and 12th for the Rams. Killer Stat, Offense.

On pass defense, big difference as Eagles rank 1 to the Rams modest 23rd. See both teams on the defensive side of our Killer Stat, (Yards per Pass attempt) chart. Killer Stat, Defense.

I never expected Rams to beat the Vikings yet here there are. I don't think they'll be beating the Eagles either. Our computer likes the Eagles by 12.5 with the 3 they get for playing at home. Sounds about right to me.
