LA has a chance to avenge loss to Philly from last season
The L.A. Rams will be out for revenge in Week 12 as they host the red-hot Philadelphia Eagles, with the Rams a 3-point underdog at FanDuel Sportsbook. LA lost 23-14 to the Eagles in October 2023 to spoil Cooper Kupp’s first game of the season after being activated off IR.
The Rams rebounded from an ugly showing on MNF by defeating the Patriots 28-22 in Foxborough. Matthew Stafford threw 4 touchdown passes in a spectacular performance. Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp combined for 13 catches for 230 yards and 3 touchdowns. Kupp had an extra nice 69-yard score which was perhaps the easiest touchdown of his career.
Cooper Kupp has now scored multiple TDs in a game for the first time since 2022!!

New England managed to make it close late in the fourth quarter until rookie safety Kamren Kinchens called game by intercepting Drake Maye with 1:55 remaining.

On Thursday night, the Eagles won their sixth straight following a 26-18 win over the Commanders. Philadelphia has looked the part of a Super Bowl contender after their 2-2 start and largely have Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley to thank for the turnaround. Hurts completed 18-of-28 passes for 221 yards and added 39 rushing yards and a touchdown. The Eagles scored 20 points in the fourth quarter as Barkley added touchdown runs of 23 and 39 yards to pull away from Washington. Philly fans cannot thank the Giants enough for letting Barkley fall into their laps.
Saquon Barkley has four games of 140+ rushing yards.
He’s the first player to have 4 140+ yard rushing games in the first 10 games since Shawn Alexander in 2005.
Alexander won MVP that season. #Eagles

There’s a reason Philly is on a six-game winning streak and I don’t see the Rams being able to keep up with them offensively. Saquon Barkley is on an absolute tear, and as good as LA’s young defensive line has performed over the last month, I’m afraid they’ll be in for a long night. Barkley will prove too much as the Eagles roll to their seventh straight win to remain in contention for the NFC’s top seed.
