NFC Divisional Round: Rams vs. Eagles Preview, Where to Watch

Date: Sunday, January 19, 2025

Time: 3 p.m. ET

Location: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Penn.

Where to Watch: NBC, Peacock (streaming)

The Eagles enter this matchup as clear favorites, holding a 20% chance of winning the Super Bowl, while the Los Angeles Rams trail with just a 4.8% chance, per FOX Sports.

The Eagles hold a 24-20-1 lead in the series between these teams, including a commanding 37-20 victory over the Rams in their last meeting in Week 12. Now, the Rams aim to close the gap in what promises to be one an exciting NFC Divisional Round game.

The Rams are on a hot-streak, winning six of their last seven games to close the year, with their only loss coming with their backups against the Seahawks in Week 18. However, they scored less than 20 points in three of those wins — a testament to an improved defense. 

The Eagles offense struggled against the Packers last week, but they still controlled the game in Hurts’ first game back from a three-game absence due to a concussion thanks to RB Saquon Barkley’s 118 rushing yards. Hurts will need to get back on track this week against a hot Rams team.

The Divisional Round picks below will help you get real money action on this Rams vs. Eagles game, letting you enjoy NFL playoff football while giving you a chance to win money at the same time on PrizePicks!

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts 17.5 Pass Completions — Less

Over his last five games, Jalen Hurts has averaged just 15.8 pass completions per game — excluding the Washington game where he exited with a concussion. In that span, he’s had only one game with more than 18 pass attempts.

With a similar outcome to Week 12 expected, Jalen Hurts is likely to rely heavily on the run game and keep his passing attempts limited. In their last matchup against the Rams, he finished with just 15 pass completions.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley 111.5 Rush Yards — More

This feels like a no-brainer, as Saquon Barkley ran for a season-high 255 yards against the Rams in Week 12 — averaging an absurd 9.8 yards per carry. The Rams, who rank 21st in the league in rushing defense, allow an average of 128.7 yards per game on the ground.

Barkley rushed for over 2,000 yards this season, and went more than this number in nine games out of 17. The Eagles should find plenty of success in running the ball here.

Barkley was so dominant in his Week 12 performance that he only needed to play 68% of the snaps to rack up his season-high rushing total. He’s set up for another huge outing this week, making this a confident pick to back.

Rams WR Demarcus Robinson 2.5 Receptions (Demon)

The Rams lack a true third receiver, which has become especially important as WR Cooper Kupp has fallen off the map (five catches in last three games) – making this Demarcus Robinson pick especially intriguing. Over the past two weeks, he’s recorded one reception and three receptions after going four straight weeks without a single catch.

In Week 18 against the Seahawks, Robinson caught all three of his receptions while the Rams trailed for most of the game, only narrowing the gap with seven minutes remaining. If the Rams find themselves in a similar situation against the Eagles, trailing throughout, it could lead to a high passing volume. 

Robinson will likely be a key player to help push the ball downfield in such a scenario. It doesn’t hurt that last time against the Eagles, Robinson played on 80% of the team’s snaps, with three targets. 

Rams WR Puka Nacua 69.5 Receiving Yards — More (Goblin)

Rams WR Puka Nacua is averaging 98.8 receiving yards per game, excluding the two games in Week 1 and Week 9 where he was injured early.

In Week 12 against the Eagles, Nacua had no trouble against their highly-touted secondary, totaling 117 yards on 9 receptions on 13 targets. Rams QB Matthew Stafford is known for heavily targeting his favorite receiver, and with the game script likely to keep the Rams passing, Nacua will continue to be a focal point in their offense, especially with Kupp struggling.

You can count on Nacua getting volume in the passing game, as he has at least eight targets in every game since November, with three games over 13 targets across that span.

Nacua looks poised to break off several big plays, as over half of his 990 receiving yards this season came after contact. That ranks fifth among all wide receivers, and he accomplished this in just 10 full games, including last week’s Wild Card matchup.

NFL Divisional Round Prediction: Eagles 28, Rams 17

The Eagles, led by QB Jalen Hurts and RB Saquon Barkley, have been one of the most balanced teams this season. With a strong offensive line, a dual-threat quarterback, and a deep group of playmakers, including OPOY candidate Barkley, Philadelphia’s offense is designed to wear down defenses. 

Their defense, anchored by a dominant pass rush and a solid secondary, will look to disrupt the Rams’ passing game and contain their offensive weapons. While they will be missing LBs Brandon Graham and Nakobe Dean, who was placed on IR after the Wild Card win, this is still one of the top defenses in the NFL.

On the other side, the Rams have leaned on veteran QB Matthew Stafford and their ability to perform under pressure in big moments. With the Eagles ranking seventh in the league in scoring and second in the league in points against, the Rams won’t be able to weather the storm the Eagles bring on bot sides

This matchup is going to come down to execution in the critical moments. The Rams will need to convert crucial third downs, and Hurts will need to take care of the ball and lean on the run game. In an expected hard-fought battle, the Rams will fall short as the Eagles take their spot in the NFC Championship in a convincing victory on Sunday.
