LARM vs PHI Odds Movement

This betting line has seen significant movement in favor of the visitors. The opening Week 3 NFL odds listed the Eagles opened as 4.5-point favorites, but that line has been bet down at least a full point to -3.5 (and 1.5 points at some sportsbooks).

Similarly, the moneyline has shifted from Philadelphia -205 to -179. This movement indicates that early and respected money has been backing the Los Angeles Rams, forcing sportsbooks to adjust. The Rams’ remarkable ATS trends, particularly their 5-0 ATS record in their last five games as an underdog, are likely driving this action.

The game total has also ticked down a point after opening at 45.5 and settling at 44.5. This adjustment could be a reaction to the Eagles’ offensive approach thus far, which has been methodical and run-heavy, leading to both of their games staying under the total.

Los Angeles Rams vs Philadelphia Eagles Player Props

NFL player props as of September 19 at MGM.

Jalen Hurts’ passing yardage prop of 196.5 is significantly higher than his average of 126.5 yards through two games, though the game script could force more passing. Jalen Hurts has been ruthlessly efficient to start the season, completing 75.6% of his passes for 253 yards, though he has yet to throw a touchdown. His real damage has been done on the ground, where he has already punched in three scores.

Matthew Stafford’s line of 228.5 yards is well below his 257-yard average, but it reflects the tough matchup against the Eagles’ pass defense. Stafford is orchestrating a high-volume passing attack so far this season, completing 71.0% of his throws for 514 yards with a solid 3-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio.

Due to his potential for explosive plays, Saquon Barkley’s rushing prop is an ambitious 86.5 O/U. In their playoff meeting last season, Barkley broke the game open with two long touchdown runs, finishing with a ludicrous 205 rushing yards on 26 carries.

Puka Nacua’s reception line is set at a high 6.5, a testament to his massive target share in the Rams’ offense. Barkley and Hurts are heavily favored to find the end zone, with anytime TD odds of -156 and -152, respectively.

Both offensive lines have questions to answer. The Eagles’ vaunted unit allowed seven sacks in their last meeting with the Rams, a worrying sign despite their overall dominance. They’ll need to be better to give Hurts time and open lanes for Barkley. The Rams’ offensive line has injury concerns and faces an Eagles pass rush that is relentless. Protecting Stafford is paramount if Los Angeles hopes to establish its air attack.

Los Angeles Rams vs Philadelphia Eagles Picks & Prediction

• Los Angeles Rams +3.5 (-115)
• Over 44.5 (-110)
• Puka Nacua Over 6.5 Receptions (-128)

This matchup presents a fascinating clash of incredibly strong, yet conflicting, betting trends. The Eagles are an absolute fortress at home, winning their last 12 games at Lincoln Financial Field and going 15-1 SU in their last 16 games as a favorite. However, the Los Angeles Rams have been the league’s most reliable team for bettors, posting a stunning 9-1 ATS record in their last 10 games and a perfect 7-0 ATS mark in their last seven on the road. The line movement toward the Rams suggests the market respects these powerful ATS trends.

The game will likely be decided in the trenches. Can the Eagles’ offensive line protect Jalen Hurts better than they did in the playoffs when they surrendered seven sacks? Can the Rams’ run defense contain Saquon Barkley, who gashed them for two long scores in that same game?

While the Eagles’ ground-and-pound attack with Hurts and Barkley is difficult to stop, the Rams’ pass-heavy offense can score quickly. Stafford will test an Eagles secondary that has been solid but not spectacular. Given the Rams’ incredible ATS consistency, especially as underdogs (5-0 ATS in their last five) and on the road, taking the points is the logical play.

The Eagles may win the game outright, but the Rams have proven time and again they can keep games close against elite competition.
