Rams vs. Eagles: Odds, Box Score Stat Predictions for 2025 NFC Divisional Game

0 of 3

    Bleacher Report

    The first meeting this season between the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles produced 57 points and 771 total yards.

    There is plenty of potential for Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, Puka Nacua and others to put on a show inside Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday.

    However, the over/under currently sits at 43.5, which suggests there will be a bit more defense played than in the Week 12 clash at Sofi Stadium.

    The sure thing about the matchup is that the stars will have the ball in their hands many times.

    Matthew Stafford and Jalen Hurts love to target Nacua and Brown and Saquon Barkley will receive 20+ touches out of the Eagles backfield.

    The Rams offensive approach begins with Puka Nacua.

    Nacua caught nine balls for 117 yards in the regular-season loss against the Eagles.

    The Rams' top pass-catcher had an average game by his standards on wild-card weekend with just 44 yards on five catches.

    He's going up against a Philadelphia secondary that allowed fewer than 200 passing yards in four of the last five games.

    We know that Nacua will get his share of targets from Matthew Stafford, but how effective he is with those catches will determine how often the Rams reach the end zone.

    Kyren Williams plays a big part in the Rams' offensive plans as well. He almost gets overlooked at times because of how great Nacua has been.

    Williams averaged over 4.6 yards per carry in his two career postseason appearances, and he could find some holes in the Eagles defense. The Eagles allowed over 100 rushing yards in each of their last four games.

    The members of the Rams supporting cast could pop up in certain spots, but Nacua and Williams should get a bulk of the offensive touches.

    Stat Predictions

    Puka Nacua: 8 receptions, 83 yards

    Kyren Williams: 15 carries, 75 yards, TD

    The Eagles offensive approach is centered around Saquon Barkley.

    The superstar running back ran for 119 yards on 25 carries in the wild-card win over the Green Bay Packers.

    Barkley has had 20 or more carries in six of his last seven games and he produced seven 100-yard showings in his last eight appearances.

    Barkley annihilated the Rams defense for 255 rushing yards and two touchdowns back in Week 12. A similar effectiveness on Sunday could send the Eagles into the NFC Championship Game with ease.

    A.J. Brown turned in a 100-yard performance of his own in Week 12 on six catches, but that also came with DeVonta Smith out of the lineup.

    Brown played second fiddle to Smith last week with only 10 receiving yards. He could go off, though, on Sunday in a matchup he already thrived in this season.

    Brown had 22 targets two years ago during the Eagles' run to the Super Bowl, so we should expect a higher target rate on Sunday.

    Stat Predictions

    Saquon Barkley: 27 carries, 140 yards, 2 TD

    A.J. Brown: 6 catches, 75 yards
