PHILADELPHIA — Sometimes it is indeed darkest before dawn. It was for the Rams. It was Saquon Barkley who shut the lights, and it was the Rams who were able to turn them back on, which is why they are still alive and kicking and Sunday afternoon get another shot at Barkley and the Eagles in an NFC divisional playoff game at Lincoln Financial Field.

With a game-best -165 odds, Barkley’s anytime touchdown prop was the most popular of the day at BetMGM, followed by Marvin Mims (+260) and Josh Allen (-130), who both also failed to score in the earlier Broncos-Bills game.

John Breech of CBS Sports and Dan Orlovsky of ESPN both backed the Rams publicly this week, and Garrett Podell, Breech’s colleague, recently joined the party with a bold — if not highly questionable — take on the Rams’ chances of containing Barkley this time around.

Now, the main talking point is Rams star rookie Jared Verse's comments about Eagles fans. He didn't hold back and the story certainly has picked up steam. Eagles star Saquon Barkley even responded to the noise on Friday in a video clip shared by 94WIP.
