Cornerbacks Marcus Peters and Aquib Talib have joined the squad, as well as receiver Brandon Cooks. We’ll also see former free agents Ndamukong Suh and Aaron Donald playing for the Rams, which could make the team unbeatable this season according to betting experts.
Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants
The Eagles and the Giants have a long-standing rivalry, and fans will be interested in seeing how things will play out as they continue to battle it out. The Giants did not have a great year in the 2017 season but the recent replacement of the team’s coach and GM could shake things up a little.

Philadelphia Eagles at Los Angeles Rams
In 2017, the Eagles and the Rams had arguably one of the best matches of the season. Jared Goff and Carson Wentz battled it out on the field and it was considered to be an evenly-matched game. In the end, the Rams lost and missed out on their chance to compete in the playoffs. This time around, the team has a vendetta to fulfil, so there is sure to be some thrilling football action in this game.
