Rams might want another shot at Eagles, not Vikings

The Philadelphia Eagles struggled today against NFC East rival Dallas losing 6-0. Is this a team the Los Angeles Rams would prefer to play versus say, the Minnesota Vikings? Given how Nick Foles has fared, that seems a reasonable conclusion.

The Los Angeles Rams Week 14 opponent looks to be like night and day. The Philadelphia Eagles lost a game to division rival, Dallas Cowboys 6-0 in a Week 17 finale at Lincoln Financial Field.

For the Rams, it might be the team they want to face in the playoffs versus a team like the Minnesota Vikings and former quarterback Case Keenum, who look to be rolling as the postseason approaches.

The Eagles, who saw starter and MVP candidate Carson Wentz go down with a knee injury, looked to be stuck in the mud as former Rams QB Nick Foles could get nothing going as he now moves to 2-1 as a starter since the Wentz injury.

Does this mean Philadelphia is now ten preferred candidate for a Rams postseason opponent?

As anyone from LA and they will say they look forward to
playing anyone.

But a wounded Eagles team without the clearly better Wentz at quarterback is nothing less than a post Christmas gift for the Rams.

Los Angeles, who is resting many a starter against NFC West rival San Francisco will be rested whomever they draw.

So Philadelphia, the clear cut favorite when the month of December began, is clearly less with Foles at the controls. If there is a pecking order for the postseason, it begins with the Vikings, and then everyone else.

which might not be the worst thing for the Rams as they debut in the postseason again since the days of the franchise being in St. Louis. In the playoffs, it doesn’t matter much who you play, just about winning.
