This QB matchup is pretty even except for TD passes. This is definitely where
the Eagles have an advantage and one of the reason I like them this week. The
Eagles are #1 in red zone touchdowns, 68.29%. Meanwhile the Rams are only 50% in
the red zone.
Second reason is that I am getting one the best teams in the NFL with points. It
is hard to pass that opportunity up.
Thirdly, I like teams that don't travel coast to coast each week. The Eagles
stayed on the west coast following the Seahawks loss.
The Eagles defense only allows 68.1 yards rushing per game. The Rams are 27th in
stopping the run, 122.8 yards per game. I could see the Eagles getting an early
lead and then finding success running the football with Blount and Ajai.
Take the Eagles and the points
