Los Angeles Rams vs Philadelphia Eagles: Prediction for Week 3

The Philadelphia Eagles are on a eight-game winning streak and remain unscathed in their Super Bowl defence after two weeks. However, the Los Angeles Rams have looked every bit as contender as their NFC East rivals.

The Rams have looked elite on offense and quarterback Matthew Stafford has combined well with dynamic receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. They are also 6-0 on the road, one win away from tying a franchise record.

Although the defense has been solid in the two games, they will be wary of Saquon Barkley's threat. The Rams are expected to edge the defending champions and avenge their divisional round loss from last season.

Prediction: Rams 30, Eagles 24

Although having started out professionally as a cricket writer in 2022, Chaitanya's curiosity and indiscriminate interest in all sports in general eventually introduced him to America's favorite pastime.

While Chaitanya's favorite player from the current crop is the dynamic Venezuelan Ronald Acuna Jr., his all-time favorite, however, is Pedro Martinez, for his self-belief and consistency. He also rates Jose Bautista's iconic bat flip in 2015 as his favorite moment in baseball history.

Chaitanya specializes in reporting on technical aspects of the game or analyzing patterns behind specific plays. He also likes pondering over players' self-assessments following the conclusion of a game as it helps him get an idea of how they think about the sport in general.

When not cheering for his favorites across sports, Chaitanya likes being transported to the past through a good war documentary or a historical documentary in general.
