NFL Best Game Today: Eagles vs. Rams playoff

All odds are via BetMGM from Friday.

Saquon Barkley 125+ rushing yards (+120)

The last time Barkley and the Eagles faced the Rams, he totaled 302 yards, including a whopping 255 rushing yards. The latter number was good for the ninth-most in a single game in NFL history and significantly impacted Barkley’s 2,000-yard season.

Expecting Barkley to repeat those high-end performances isn’t fair, but expecting him to have another big game isn’t. The Rams allowed 130 rushing yards per game to their opponents in the regular season, 11th-most in the NFL, and still surrendered 106 rushing yards to the Vikings in the wild-card round despite blowing them out 27-9.

Philadelphia’s offense has averaged the second-most rushing yards per game this season (178.7). As such, the Rams figure to have trouble containing both Barkley and the quarterback Regret hurtsespecially if the Eagles end up playing from scratch.

While taking Barkley’s 111.5 projected rushing yards is the safest proposition, there’s little harm in going with the alternate line of 125-plus yards on the ground. After all, that’s less than half of what he produced the last time he played for the Rams, and it will only take a big chunk of the game to make the number seem easily attainable.

Kyren Williams UNDER 73.5 rushing yards (-120)

Williams is a high-volume running back, but it’s hard to imagine him having much success against the Eagles’ stout run defense. Philadelphia allowed the seventh-fewest rushing yards to running backs during the 2024 regular season, averaging just 69.4 rushing yards per carry. game for running backs over their last five contests.

Some will counter by pointing out that Williams had a 76-yard game against an equally strong Vikings run defense in the wild-card round. However, the Rams led throughout the blowout victory, and it’s hard to imagine the game script being the same against a ball-dominant Philadelphia team.

So if the script flips, Williams may not get as many opportunities to carry the ball as he did against Minnesota. As such, it’s a good idea to fade him in this one, both yardage-wise and touchdown-wise, as the Eagles have allowed a league-low five total touchdowns to running backs this season.

Dallas Goedert OVER 3.5 receptions (-135)

The Rams have allowed 106 receptions this season, tied for second most in the NFL behind only Cincinnati Bengals (111), so it looks like a good match for Goedert.

Goedert returned to action in Week 18 after missing four weeks with a knee injury. He’s been an afterthought since then, with many focusing on Barkley’s quest for 2,000 yards and the health of both. AJ Brown and DeVonta Smithbut he logged back-to-back games with six goals and four catches to close the regular season and open the postseason.

Goedert played nine games during the 2024 NFL season and 2025 playoffs, playing at least 63% of the team’s snaps. He has recorded at least four catches in six of those contests. That should give him a strong chance to surpass his 3.5 reception total in this game, even if he doesn’t play the full number of snaps while dealing with an illness that limited him in practice.

AJ Brown Anytime TD (+150)

The Rams have had issues at receiver this year. They have surrendered 20 receiving touchdowns to wide outs, tied for fourth in the NFL. When you look at the type of receivers they’ve allowed touchdowns to lately, they’ve typically been the bigger variety.

Matter and point, DK Metcalf (6-4, 235 pounds), Jake Bobo (6-4, 207 pounds), Davante Adams (6-1, 215 pounds) and Mack Hollins (6-4, 221 pounds) represents four of the last five receivers to log a touchdown against the Rams. Khalil Shakir is the only exception to the six-game stretch, who stands at just 6-0, 190 pounds.

Brown (6-1, 226 pounds) fits more of the size and strength that has given the Rams secondary problems this season than his counterpart Smith (6-0, 170 pounds). As such, Brown is the better of the two receivers to back for those looking to bet on a plus-money anytime TD scorer in this contest.
