Eagles vs Rams Betting Preview: Best Bets for SNF

• The best bet for the Los Angeles Rams versus the Philadelphia Eagles is on the under for the first quarter total of 9.5 points with -105 odds.
• The best receiving yards prop for the Rams is not on the over for Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua. It is actually on Kyren Williams to have more than 14.5 receiving yards.
• The Rams give up over a touchdown per game to wide receivers, which is why AJ Brown to score a touchdown with +105 odds is a great bet.

Best Bet for Rams vs Eagles: Under 9.5 First Quarter Points

The best bet for Sunday Night Football this week is on the first quarter under between the Rams and Eagles. This is the best prop available at NFL betting sites because they have seemingly not caught onto the trend that both these teams have been terrible in the opening quarter.

First Quarter Points Per Game

• Philadelphia Eagles: 1.4 (30th)
• Los Angeles Rams: 1.3 (T-31st)

Those stats alone make it clear that the two teams won’t combine for more than 9.5 points in the first quarter.

Another good way to look at it is their first-quarter play results this season. Here are some notable stats that research brings to light:

• The Rams have scored only one touchdown in the first quarter this season. That is tied with the Chicago Bears for the fewest in the league. Philadelphia has scored only two.
• Tied with the Arizona Cardinals and the Carolina Panthers for the least in the league, the Philadelphia Eagles have made zero field goals in the first period. The Rams have made two.
• Los Angeles has the fewest first-quarter first downs in the league this season (27). Philadelphia has the sixth-fewest (34).

Given all of those factors, the best prop for Eagles vs Rams is the under on the first quarter total of 9.5 with -105 odds.

Bet on Kyren Williams Receiving Yards

When people read a Los Angeles Rams betting preview that highlights receiving yards props, they can almost always expect to see either Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua highlighted. Against the Eagles, a prediction touting their overs would be irresponsible.

Consider the pass defense stats for the Eagles by position:

• Wide Receivers vs Philadelphia: 116.5 Receiving Yards per Game (Fewest in the NFL)
• Tight Ends vs Philadelphia: 39.6 Receiving Yards per Game (7th Fewest)
• Running Backs vs Philadelphia: 36.2 Receiving yards per Game (10th Most)

Those stats indicate that the best receiving yards props for the Rams to target are for their running backs.

One look at the Rams team stats suggests that the running back to target is Kyren Williams. Kyren has 136 receiving yards on the season, which is 105 yards more than any other running back on the roster.

The receiving yards prop for Kyren Williams vs the Eagles is set at 14.5 yards by legal sports betting sites.

He has 19 or more receiving yards in three of his last four games.

Given that recent production and the statistical profile of the Eagles’ defense, the -110 odds on the over for 14.5 Kyren Williams receiving yards is a good bet.

Bet on AJ Brown to Score a Touchdown

AJ Brown has +105 odds to score a touchdown at Bovada this weekend against the Rams. Against almost any team, Brown to score a touchdown is a good bet given his talent level.

But, the combination of his plus odds and the propensity that the Los Angeles Rams have given up wide receiver touchdowns makes it an especially intriguing option this week.

Los Angeles has given up 13 touchdowns to wide receivers in ten games this season. That 1.3 touchdown per game average to wideouts is the fourth most in the league.

In the past few weeks that has meant giving up touchdowns to well-known wide receivers like Tyreek Hill, Tyler Locket, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (scored twice).

It is a strong bet with +105 odds that AJ Brown will join that list this weekend.
