Kupp Rams receiver

The NFL can flex, and flex they did with a great Sunday Night Football game. The Los Angeles Rams are fighting for their playoff hopes while the Eagles continue to steamroll the competition. Philadelphia will be down a key player on Sunday night. Will that be enough to open the door for the Rams? Los Angles is a home underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook. Will they notch a much-needed win on Sunday night?

Check out our Same Game Parlay Guide before we break down tonight’s game and build a same game parlay for Sunday Night Football.

Eagles vs. Rams Same Game Parlay Preview

ScoresAndOdds presents an explanation for a drastic line movement on Sunday night. Throughout the week, an overwhelming majority of betting action was placed on the over, moving the total 2 points up to 48.5 points. Even with a stout Eagles’ defense, bettors project a shootout between these high-powered offenses. The Eagles are field goal favorites, and just about 55% of betting action is on Philadelphia.

The most prominent injury news on Sunday night is the Eagles playing without DeVonta Smith. The WR2 leaves a big gap in the offense that will likely be filled by Jahan Dotson and Dallas Goedert. A.J. Brown is always a big-play threat and should see plenty of opportunities against one of the worst defenses on a yard-per-pass-attempt basis.

The Rams are likely to play without RT Rob Havenstein, who is doubtful with an ankle injury. Backup tackle Joe Noteboom was removed from the injury report and will fill in if Havenstein is unavailable. The play makers are back for Los Angeles, though. If given time, Matt Stafford has plenty of options in the passing game. The issue? The Eagles possess the best passing defense in the NFL, allowing a measly 5.5 yards per pass attempt on defense.

Puka Nacua is back, but the Rams have shown that there is plenty of work for their duo of elite receivers. Since Nacua’s return, the pair have averaged 9 targets per game. The Rams are throwing the ball at a high volume. Who knows if this will work against a stout Eagles’ secondary? However, if they are behind as the spread suggests, Matt Stafford will unload plenty of attempts to his top targets.

Saquon Barkley only has Derrick Henry to blame for overshadowing his resurgent season. Barkley could be the offensive player of the year if not for Henry and… his own teammate. Jalen Hurts continues to siphon touchdowns from the superstar running back. Hurts is up to 11 touchdowns on the ground. Barkley has 8. The Eagles will be able to throw against the Rams’ defense but will likely look to control the game on the ground. An anytime touchdown scorer bet on either Hurts or Barkley seems like a desirable prop on Sunday night.

Even though the Eagles’ pass defense has been so sound of late, I think I agree with all of the betting action. I think we see a shootout on Sunday night. Let’s build a same game parlay with that script for Sunday Night Football.

Same Game Parlay Picks for Eagles vs. Rams

Cooper Kupp 60+ Receiving Yards
Dallas Goedert Over 4.5 Receptions
Jahan Dotson Over 13.5 Receiving Yards

Cooper Kupp 60+ Receiving Yards

Again, the Eagles don’t give up much in the air. The Eagles don’t play this duo of wide receivers every week, though. With Puka Nacua back, Cooper Kupp is free to roam the field on the outside or in the slot. I think there is merit to beginning our SGP with an alt receiving line.

Kupp has been white hot of late, exceeding this number in his last 3 games. He has 31 targets over that span and is likely looking at double digits on Sunday night. The Rams are going to struggle on the ground as well. Philadelphia ranks inside the top 10 in yards per rush attempt on defense.

They are going to throw the football tonight. This is not a lofty number for Cooper Kupp. Let’s have a shootout.

Goedert Eagles tight end

Dallas Goedert Over 4.5 Receptions

Without DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert is going to see a bump in target volume working over the middle of the field. Since Goedert is not guaranteed to break any big runs, I prefer his catches prop.

Somebody else will need to fill the void in Smith’s absence. The Rams can put more attention on A.J. Brown. While the Eagles are very likely going to run the football on Sunday night, Goedert will be the short-passing outlet for Jalen Hurts. Goedert secured 5 catches against Washington.

In Smith’s only other missed game, Goedert caught 7 of 8 targets. Book the over.

Jahan Dotson Over 13.5 Receiving Yards

Finally, our last leg is a bit of a crap shoot. Jahan Dotson continues to see minimal volume in the Eagles’ offense. However, he should only need one catch to eclipse this prop total.

When Smith was absent against Tampa Bay, Dotson saw 4 targets. He converted 2 for 11 yards. Against this passing defense, Dotson should have more room to move and earn yards after the catch.

His receptions prop is over 1.5 catches at plus odds. If you are feeling frisky, I could see including that instead. I will hope for a first-half catch to lock this leg up.
