NFL Free Pick: Take Philadelphia. According to latest NFL trends, the Eagles are 7-1-1 against the spread in their last nine meetings with the Rams, who are just 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 games in Week 1. St. Louis is also 15-33-3 ATS in its last 51 games in September while Philly is 4-0 ATS in its last four games on turf. There are high hopes for Sam Bradford and the Rams heading into the new season, and for good reason. If they can get through a brutal first-half schedule, there’s no reason to believe St. Louis won’t win the NFC West. But Vick and the Eagles will be too much for the Rams, especially on turf. Philly has too much speed on both sides of the ball and Bradford could really struggle against the Eagles’ outstanding corners.
