The Rams are a 3.5-point underdog this week, which points towards a passing game script.
The predictive model expects the Rams as the 4th-most pass-oriented team among all teams this week with a 63.6% pass rate, given their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics.
Opposing offenses have played at the 7th-fastest tempo in football (context-neutralized) against the Los Angeles Rams defense this year, averaging 26.60 seconds per snap.
Opposing teams have averaged 41.0 pass attempts per game versus the Eagles defense this year: 4th-most in the NFL.
Tyler Higbee’s 45.0 adjusted receiving yards per game this season conveys a an impressive boost in his receiving talent over last season’s 38.0 mark.
Cons
The Rams offensive line grades out as the 6th-worst in football this year in protecting the passer, which has a harmful effect on all pass game stats across the board.
