The Los Angeles Rams were one of three teams to pull off an upset in the wild-card round, taking down the Minnesota Vikings as 2.5-point underdogs.

As a result, they'll head to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles in the Divisional Round with a berth in the NFC Championship on the line. Both teams have plenty of playoff experience from previous years, but it's the Eagles who find themselves as significant favorites to defend home field and make yet another deep playoff run.

Let's take a look at everything you need to know to bet on this game, including my favorite wager.

Rams vs. Eagles Key Players to Watch

Los Angeles Rams

Matthew Stafford: Despite helping the Rams get to the Divisional Round, Matthew Stafford has had a down year compared to seasons past and his age may finally be catching up to him. Thankfully, he had a great performance in the Wild-Card Round against the Vikings, completing 70.4% of passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns. He'll have to continue playing at that level of the Rams want to make a run at the Super Bowl.

Philadelphia Eagles

Saquon Barkley: The team that slows down Saquon Barkley will be the team that has a chance to beat the Eagles. Until that happens, Philadelphia will continue to win games by a comfortable margin, including this Sunday.

Rams vs. Eagles Prediction and Pick

In this week's edition of the "Road to Super Bowl 59", I broke down why I'm laying the points with the Eagles:

The Rams beating the Vikings was a case of Los Angeles taking on a regressing team playing their worst football of the season moreso than a case of the Rams catching fire. I'm still not sold on this Rams team that ranks 19th in Net Yards per Play, 15th in EPA per Play, and 23rd in opponent EPA per Play.

Meanwhile, the Eagles rank fourth, sixth, and third in those categories.

It's also worth noting that Saquon Barkley racked up a blistering 255 yards on the ground against the Rams when these two teams met in the regular season and I've seen no indication that Los Angeles has solved that issue. Philadelphia is too complete a team for the Rams to deal with.

Pick: Eagles -6.5 (-110)
