RAMS @ EAGLES (-6.5) - 47.5
October 05 , 2014

This game has trap all over it.  The spread opened at -8.5 and now has crept down to 6.5.  This might be because statistically, the Rams are actually better on paper (but not in the standings obviously).  But check this out.  This Rams offense with Austin Davis behind center is currently tied with the Eagles in yards per game this season at 368 (though the Eagles are averaging 30.5 points per game compared to the Rams 18.7).  And then when you look at the defensive side of the ball, the Rams allow less total yards per game (342 to 391), but do allow more average points (28.3 to the Eagles 26).  The Rams have held opposing QB’s to an average of 187 passing yards per game, but why would you attempt to pass against the rams when they are allowing an average of 155 on the ground (thanks to DeMarco Murray).  This should be the game where anyone that traded LeSean McCoy this week will be punching themselves in the face.  McCoy should use this opportunity to explode.  This could also be a solid week for Darren Sproles as well.  The Eagles should pound the ball and exploit that suspect run defense all day long.  The Rams will really need to fight to pull off the upset in this one, but I just don’t see it happening.  But the Rams could cover if they can somewhat limit the Eagles rushing attack.
