The Week 12 Sunday Night Football game features two teams jockeying for position in the NFC Conference as both squads are focused on making the Playoffs and another trip to the Super Bowl.
The Philadelphia Eagles sit second in the NFC, just a game behind the Detroit Lions. They’re coming off an impressive Thursday Night Football win over the Washington Commanders in Week 11.
The victory showcased running back Saquon Barkley who looks to continue his torrid stretch of rushing yards against the Los Angeles Rams this weekend.
The Rams are coming off a road win at New England. The game turned out to be more difficult than it appeared it would be on paper. Nevertheless, Los Angeles got back into the win column and sit two games out of the final Wild Card spot.
Fortunately, the Rams are just one game back of the NFC West leading Arizona Cardinals as every team in the division are within a game of each other.
Both teams enter this Week 12 SNF game with plenty success over the last five weeks. The Eagles have won five in a row and LA has captured four of their last five contests. Can the Rams improve to 4-2 at home and pick up their fifth win in the last six games, or will the Eagles soar to a 5-1 record on the road and win for the seventh time in a row?
Let’s dive deeper into the latest NFL odds, courtesy of the top sports betting sites, and make our Week 12 NFL Predictions for the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Los Angeles Rams.

Sunday Night Football Betting
Keep an eye on the latest NFL odds for SNF and monitor how the lines change throughout the week.
When the opening odds came out for this matchup, both teams were pretty much even with the sportsbooks. The Los Angeles Rams were the -112 favorites and the Philadelphia Eagles were the -108 underdogs, if you can call them that.
That all changed by the beginning of November when it became clear that the Eagles were the better team overall. Philly pulled ahead with the betting sites at -140.
Currently, the Eagles can be found at a range of -140 to -150 with a high of -155 odds. The Rams dropped to a +120 underdog but can be found with odds ranging from +125 to +135.
The Rams opened as a -1 point favorite, but that changed just like the moneylines did. Eventually, the Eagles would become the favorites and are currently found with a spread of -3 points.
The Over/Under opened at 47 points and rose as high as 50.5 total points. As of this writing, the O/U sits at 48.5 to 49 total points. That half point could be a deciding factor depending on which way you bet the Total.
Last week, we took the Chargers to win outright and cover the 1.5 point spread. Los Angeles was able to do both as they won by the score of 34 to 27. That point total blew past the Over, which was surprising considering that the Chargers allow less than 14 ppg.
On the season, we are 8-3 SU in picking Sunday Night Football games. That includes correctly picking the last four SNF winners in a row. Additionally, we’re also 8-3 SU in picking Thursday Night Football games. That also includes picking the last three TNF winners in a row.
Sunday Night Football Odds
The following Sunday Night Football odds are courtesy of ScoresandStats:
Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Philadelphia Eagles | -155 | -3 (-110) | Over 49 (-110) |
Los Angeles Rams | +130 | +3 (-110) | Under 49 (-110) |
The Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams have played against each other 44 times. Surprisingly, that only includes three Playoff matchups. The Eagles hold a slight advantage with a 23-20-1 series record.
The Eagles have won four of the last five meetings in this series. These two franchises last played against each other in October 2023, and the Eagles won 23 to 14. That game actually took place in Los Angeles.
The Rams might hold a 10-8-1 record at home over the Eagles, but Philly has won five games in a row at Los Angeles. That’s never a good sign when the road team hasn’t lost in LA in over 20 years.

Sunday Night Football Predictions
Let’s take a closer look at some of the key matchups for this game as we make our Sunday Night Football NFL picks. NFL stats are courtesy of TeamRankings and Pro Football Reference.
Eagles Offense vs. Rams Defense
Right off the bat, the Eagles offense is their biggest strength and the Rams defense is their biggest weakness.
Philly is averaging 25.9 ppg which is 7th in the league and the Rams allow 23.9 ppg. Additionally, the Eagles are 5th in total yards per game (379.9 ypg), 6th in TDs per game (3.1), and lead the league in rushing yards per game (181.3 ypg). The Rams rank in the bottom half for all of these stats and more.
Saquon Barkley has gone over 100 rushing yards in four of the last five games. In fact, he’s gone over 140 rushing yards in three of those five games with a season high of 176 yards coming in Week 7 against his former team the New York Giants.
Last weekend, Barkley led the Eagles to a 26-18 win over the Commanders. That game was for first place in the NFC East division. Barkley finished with 146 rushing yards.
The Rams give up 127.3 rushing yards per game, which bodes well for Barkley and the Eagles. LA also allows 222.8 passing yards per game. So, if the Rams decide to load the box to try and stop Barkley or Hurts running the ball, then the Eagles should also have success throwing it.
Currently, the Eagles average 198.6 passing yards per game, but that’s due to the success of the ground attack. They can definitely open things up and sling the rock especially with AJ Brown as their top receiver. Add Smith, Goedert and Barkley out of the backfield, and you have a scary passing attack.
The one area where the Rams might find some success on defense is pressuring Hurts and getting sacks. Philly gives up the third most sacks in the league and the Rams are 9th in the NFL in sacking the QB. The battle in the trenches will be the deciding factor.
With that said, I still give the advantage to Philly as I don’t see LA stopping Barkley.
Rams Offense vs. Eagles Defense
The Rams offensive stats are misleading due to the team missing Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua for numerous games each. In fact, they picked up several losses over that stretch as well. With both players back, LA has gone 3-1 overall. Their red zone issues in Week 9 against the Dolphins cost the Rams a victory.
In that game, the Rams kicked five field goals and lost 23 to 15. They had numerous red zone opportunities including multiple possessions inside the 10-yard line of the Dolphins.
Currently, LA averages 21.3 ppg. Since getting Kupp and Nacua back, the team is averaging nearly 25 ppg. Unfortunately, they’re going up against the 6th best scoring defense in the league as the Eagles allow just 17.6 points per game.
Additionally, the Eagles allow the fewest yards per game at 273.1 ypg. They only give up 1.8 TDs per game which is 5th best in the league. That doesn’t bode well for the Rams who have the 25th ranked red zone offense in scoring TDs.
Making matters worse for Los Angeles is the fact that the Eagles are 7th against the run (99.9 ypg) and 2nd against the pass (173.2 ypg).
No matter how you slice these in-game matchups, the Eagles have the overall advantage on paper. It’s going to be a long night for Matthew Stafford and this Rams offense.
Who Wins SNF: Eagles or Rams?
The only advantage that the Rams have over the Eagles is in the coaching department. Unfortunately, that won’t be enough for LA to overcome the challenges in this game.
Philly’s defense has come on strong over the last five weeks. It’s catapulted them into a Top 10 unit. The Rams are going to struggle to pick up yards and first downs, let alone scoring touchdowns. It could be another day where they are forced to settle for field goals.
As for the Eagles offense, they should find plenty of success on the ground and through the air against this subpar Rams defense. I expect both Barkley and Hurts to chew up yards on the ground, while Brown and Smith dissect the Rams secondary.
The Eagles have owned this rivalry over the last decade. They’re 8-2 SU over the last 10 matchups including going 4-1 SU at LA. Additionally, Philly is 6-0 SU in their last six games, 8-0 SU in their last eight November games and 4-1 SU on the road this year.
I am taking Philly to win this game outright. I also think they can cover the three points spread. However, if you can find it at -2.5 points then that’s even better. The Eagles are 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings versus the Rams. They’re also 4-1 ATS in their last five road games. LA is 1-4 ATS in their last five games against teams from the NFC East division.
Over their six game winning streak, Philly hasn’t given up more than 23 points. The Rams average a little more than 21 points per game on the season. I see this Eagles defense holding LA to under 23 points, while scoring 27 themselves.
The Over/Under is 49 points but I’m leaning towards the Under as I don’t trust this Rams offense to put up enough points on the board this weekend.
For the Eagles, the Under has gone 8-2 in their last 10 road games and 8-4 in their last 12 overall games. The Rams have seen the Under go 4-2 in their last six games and 5-2 in their last seven November games.
I’m taking the Eagles to win by the score of 27 to 19.
Sunday Night Football Prop Bets
Check out our picks for the best Philadelphia Eagles vs. Los Angeles Rams Game and Player Prop bets:
Jalen Hurts Anytime TD (-110)
Although he might play for the Eagles, I call Jalen Hurts the ultimate vulture. In fact, he’s the king vulture as far as I’m concerned.
On the season, Hurts has 12 passing touchdowns. That’s not impressive. However, what is impressive is his 11 rushing touchdowns on the year. And, guess what, he’s taken most of those TDs away from Barkley. If Saquon got those 11 TDs, we would be talking about Barkley as the MVP.
As for this prop bet, I like for Hurts to vulture another TD from Barkley with the tush push, brotherly shove at the goal line after Saquon gets them down there in the first place. And, yes, I’m salty about this. Lol.
Bet: Jalen Hurts Anytime TD (-110)
Matthew Stafford Passing Yards
- Over 242.5 yards (-110)
- Under 242.5 yards (-110)
In 10 games played, Matthew Stafford has averaged 255.7 passing yards per game. However, since getting Nacua and Kupp back, Stafford has eclipsed 279 or more yards in four consecutive games.
Although the Eagles have one of the top pass defenses, I expect Stafford to get at least 243 passing yards. The first reason is due to throwing the ball over 35 times in this game due to the rushing attack getting stuff. The second reason is for the Rams to pick up garbage time stats as they are at least 10 points behind late in the 4th quarter.
Bet: Over 242.5 yards (-110)
Matthew Stafford Passing TDs
- Over 1.5 TDs (+100)
- Under 1.5 TDs (-130)
Although I like for Stafford to throw for over 242 passing yards, I don’t see that equating to more than one TD pass. Against the Dolphins, Stafford threw for zero TDs. I think he can get one on Philly late in the game, but this team only allows 17.9 ppg and 1.8 TDs per game. Both rank them in the Top 6.
Bet: Under 1.5 TDs (-130)
Saquon Barkley Rushing Yards
- Over 93.5 yards (-110)
- Under 93.5 yards (-110)
In 10 games played so far, Barkley is averaging 113.7 rushing yards per game. He’s tallied six games over 100 rushing yards and four of those games saw him eclipse 140 rushing yards. Seven of his 10 games have seen Barkley go over 93 rushing yards.
The Rams allow 127 rushing yards per game. This means that Barkley should find plenty of success on the ground in LA on Sunday.
Bet: Over 93.5 yards (-110)
Kyren Williams Rushing Yards
- Over 76.5 yards (-110)
- Under 76.5 yards (-110)
For as good as I feel about Barkley going Over, I feel the opposite for his counterpart in Kyren Williams. In fact, I think this is an easy Under here.
On the season, Williams is averaging 75 rushing yards per game. Half of his games have seen him go Under this mark. In fact, he’s failed to eclipse 69 rushing yards in two of the last three matchups.
The Eagles allow only 99 rushing yards per game, which is 7th best in the league. The Rams only average 95.4 rushing yards per game, which is the 7th fewest in the NFL. Take the Under!
Bet: Under 76.5 yards (-110)
Best Bets For Sunday Night Football
The best bets for Sunday Night Football are as follows:
- Philadelphia Eagles (-155)
- Eagles -3 points (-110)
- Kyren Williams under 76.5 rushing yards (-110)
I really like the Eagles in this matchup. They’ve won five games in a row at Los Angeles and are 8-2 SU in the last 10 meetings overall. Additionally, Philly is 4-1 on the road this year and the Rams are just 3-2 at home.
I see this Eagles defense stifling the Rams offense especially running back Kyren Williams. He’s failed to eclipse 76 rushing yards in half of his games this year, including two of the last three. Additionally, the Eagles have the 7th best rush defense while the Rams have the 7th worst rush offense.
