Los Angeles Rams vs Philadelphia Eagles: Prediction for Week 3

The Philadelphia Eagles are on a eight-game winning streak and remain unscathed in their Super Bowl defence after two weeks. However, the Los Angeles Rams have looked every bit as contender as their NFC East rivals.

The Rams have looked elite on offense and quarterback Matthew Stafford has combined well with dynamic receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. They are also 6-0 on the road, one win away from tying a franchise record.

Although the defense has been solid in the two games, they will be wary of Saquon Barkley's threat. The Rams are expected to edge the defending champions and avenge their divisional round loss from last season.

Prediction: Rams 30, Eagles 24

When not cheering for his favorites across sports, Chaitanya likes being transported to the past through a good war documentary or a historical documentary in general.
