NFL divisional round best bets, picks

In a city where there isn't much brotherly love, the freezing cold isn't too kind.

Sunday's weather and raucous crowd will likely be tough for the Los Angeles Rams, who lost by six points to the Eagles.

Early weather forecasts show a 75% chance of rain or snow at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday.

It's hard to imagine the Rams enjoying that climate.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford, who spent his career with the Lions and Rams (both played in the Dome), is 1-8 in wet games, according to Warren Sharp.

All of this warns of a potential disaster on Sunday against the lead-off Eagles.

Rams vs. Eagles predictions

Weather is one angle and then there's what we see in the field.

Los Angeles got away with leading its aerial attack using two-star receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua.

The concern is that the Eagles play primarily in man coverage, but Stafford has struggled with it, posting the eighth-worst quarterback rating (86.7) among starters against that type of defense. It is recorded.

While Stafford also shattered blitzing defenses, the Eagles had the seventh-fewest blitzes in the NFL (23.4 percent).

All things considered, we're looking at Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts' showing in Philadelphia and the Rams' struggling offensive showing.

Los Angeles is allowing 4.6 yards per carry, which is the 26th best mark in the NFL.

How they stop them with that run defense is a mystery to me.

This time we will focus on Philadelphia.

Pick: Eagles -6 (-110, Caesars)
