One of the top matchups on this Sunday's NFL slate is an NFC showdown between the 10-2 Philadelphia Eagles and the 9-3 Los Angeles Rams with major implications for this season's playoffs. Both teams lead their respective divisions and the winner of this game will be in the driver seat for a first-round bye as one of the top two seeds in the conference.
The betting line for this game had an early lean towards the Rams with the general betting consensus. They opened as slight one-point home favorites and the early money going their way has pushed the spread to 2.5 points at BetAnySports. The number has come back down to 1.5 points in favor of Los Angeles with some weekend money on the Eagles. The total line for this game opened at 51 points, but it has been bet down to 48 points as of Saturday.
The big subplot in this game is the first head-to-head meeting between the top two picks of the 2016 NFL Draft. Eagles' quarterback Carson Wentz remains one of the top betting favorites to win this year's league MVP award, while Jared Goff has already led the Rams to their first winning season since 2003. The winner in this game will also have the early leg up in what could be one of the best quarterback rivalries in the NFL in the coming years.
