The Rams filled out the divisional pairings with a 27-9 victory over the favored Vikings (-2.5/-2) on Monday night in Glendale, Ariz.
Against the host Eagles on Sunday, the Rams opened as underdogs of 6.5 points at DraftKings and 5.5 at Circa before the line quickly settled at 6.
Adam Burke updated his early look at the divisional matchups:
It’ll be interesting to see where this line goes. Obviously the Rams deserve some respect for what they did to Minnesota, but the narrative is running wildly that Sam Darnold was awful, not that the Rams were big contributors as to why Darnold was awful. It is also worth noting that the Rams, who are 11-7 now including the Wild Card win, are now 9-4 with Cooper Kupp in the lineup and 9-3 with both Kupp and Puka Nacua.
One line move worth noting: On Monday, the Ravens flipped from underdogs (+1 at Circa) to favorites (-1) vs. the Bills. >>DraftKings/Circa Betting Splits.
In other NFL news, the Cowboys and Mike McCarthy decided to go their separate ways after McCarthy’s contract ran out. Deion Sanders has already talked to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones about the job, as Sanders acknowledged late Monday.
And now for some baseball
Believe it or not, we have just three more NFL weekends and pitchers and catchers report in a month.
Circa Sports posted season win totals this week, although Adam Burke points out that there are still some free agents who could make a difference.
The Dodgers had the highest total at 103.5 after finishing with 98 last season. The White Sox claimed the bottom spot with 51 wins, which would be 10 more than last season.
