Week 14: at Los Angeles Rams, Sunday 4:25 PM ET

Last time they met: 2014 Week 5, Eagles 34, Rams 28

2016’s first and second overall pick battle in the Eagles’ second trip to Los Angeles.

Carson Wentz should have a chip on his shoulder to prove he deserved the top selection of the draft over Jared Goff (although he probably dodged a bullet going to LA).

With a lackluster receiving corps around Goff and a secondary that’s been picked clean due to free agency (see Rodney McLeod, Janoris Jenkins and T.J. McDonald), the Eagles should get the victory.

This game should be put on trap alert, however. A second West Coast trip late in the season with the playoffs in play for the Eagles could stir up an upset from the Rams.

Still, the Eagles are a superior team and if they want to get into the playoffs, this is a win they’ve got to have.

Result: Eagles Win (8-5)
