On the other hand, the Rams have a very Super look. Especially on offense. However, their defense remains a question mark.

Eagles vs. Rams TV Coverage: NBC
Although the Rams are running away with the NFC West the fact remains that they have been a terrible NFL betting value. In fact, Los Angeles has paid in just two of their last 10 games. Last week the Rams were mauled at Chicago 15-6 as 3-point road overlays. LA now stands at 11-2 straight up, 5-7-1 vs. the spread, and 6-7 under the total. On the whole the NFL’s third ranked offense is the strength of the Rams. Of great concern is an LA defense that continues to drop and now ranks 19th in the league.
