Eagles Could Have Trouble Against Rams, According to Expert Predictions

The Philadelphia Eagles were run off the field on Monday night against the Chicago Bears, falling 27-7 to a Case Keenum-led team.

It was a poor performance from the Eagles all around, sending the team to a 2-1 record on the season. But the schedule doesn't get any easier for Philadelphia, with the Eagles now welcoming the Los Angeles Rams to town this week.

Los Angeles is coming off a tough loss to the Denver Broncos, seeing their record fall to 1-2 on the year. It has been a heavy, injury-filled season for the Rams so far, but they may be getting back some key pieces this week against the Eagles.

Both the Eagles and Rams will be looking to grab a big win this weekend in what should be an exciting matchup of playoff teams from last season. But whichever team falls short will be in some trouble as the year goes on.

Bleacher Report NFL analysts Gary Davenport, Brad Gagnon, Kris Knox, Moe Moton, Brent Sobleski, Wes O'Donnell, and Ian Hanford of Bleacher Report made predictions on every game this week. Within the predictions, six of the seven analysts have the Rams coming away with a win.

Sobleski was the lone expert to predict the Eagles to defend home-field against Los Angeles this week. This lack of faith in Philadelphia likely stems from the performance that the team put on display against the Bears on Monday.

Philadelphia's offense was almost non-existent, and this will need to change against the Rams this weekend. Quarterback Jalen Hurts will need to play better, and he has been cleared from a concussion evaluation.

Against Chicago, Hurts threw for 153 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. The Eagles' star quarterback is going to have to get the offense going more effectively to have a chance against the high-powered Rams attack.

One aspect that Philadelphia can take heading into this game is that Eagles' head coach, Nick Sirianni, tends to have his guys ready to go, especially after a loss, as they did against the Bears. Philadelphia has a lot to prove this week, and if they can grab a win over the Rams, it could go a long way.

Not only would it help the Eagles get back on track, but it would send a NFC rival to 1-3 on the season. Philadelphia has a lot of pressure entering this game, and this contest against the Rams could show a lot about what the 2026 Eagles will look like.
