NFL Sunday open thread and SNF picks

Who will take this NFC showdown?

Sunday Night Football will be between two NFC hopefuls as the Philadelphia Eagles visit the Los Angeles Rams.

The Rams are coming into the game, winning four of their last five after losing four of their first five. It has really been a tale of two halves of the season.

Of course, Matthew Stafford was without Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua who was injured. Then as those two returned wins started coming back. The defense has also stepped up keeping any team from scoring even 24 points, which is something they failed to do the first five weeks.

That will be put to the test this week as the red-hot Eagles fly in off a six-game win streak.

The offense has definitely found its groove, scoring at least 26 points in five of those games.

New running back Saquon Barkley coming over from the New York Giants is a big part of that. He has over 100 yards rushing in all but two of their wins. He is second in the league in rushing with 1,137 rushing yards on the season.

Will the Rams be able to slow down the Eagles, or will they breeze on through to another win?

FanDuel has the Eagles as 2.5-point favorites.
