Rams vs. Eagles Odds & Betting Predictions - October 4, 2026

Live alert

Another tricky game to project with Puka Nacua likely returning but potentially in more of a limited role, McVay never doing what I expect with these RB props, and the Eagles missing both Dallas Goedert and DeVonta Smith. Guys like Wicks, Makai Lemon and Ertz obviously get a boost, but I think Darius Cooper is the sneaky one here. Most people probably remember him as the random guy who caught the go-ahead TD against Tennessee, but he actually stands to see one of the biggest usage bumps. Last year he was essentially the AJ Brown/DeVonta Smith backup, and stylistically he profiles much closer to AJ Brown. Obviously nowhere near the same talent, but Cooper can move around the formation while Lemon is more of a traditional slot WR who already has his role. We could see Wicks absorb more of DeVonta’s role with Cooper taking over more of Wicks’ snaps, or some blend of the two, but I’m projecting Cooper to be on the field for around 60% of Hurts’ dropbacks (espeically with Hollywood out, Moore is more of Lemon’s backup I imagine). We’re not going to confuse his underlying usage with Zay Flowers or anything, but the opportunity is what matters here. We’ve also seen opposing WR3 types like DRob, Mooney and Bryant have success against the Rams, which may be a byproduct of LA forcing the lesser WRs to beat them while attention gets pushed toward the better options. I think the chances Cooper catches 2 balls here are pretty solid, and he should make them count, which is why I prefer the yardage prop. I have him closer to 22.5 receiving yards, but this is definitely one with a wide range of outcomes. A 0/0/0 or 3/45/1 type of game wouldn’t shock me at all. This is basically a pure opportunity bet. We actually saw a version of it in Week 18 last year when Philly rested its starters and Cooper went 3/33/0.

NFL betting at its absolute finest. We’ve been doing this for years, writing off the Eagles, just to watch them come back home and re-establish their dominance. I’ll buy a nice soft 3 here on a hometown Philly bounce back.
