Originally posted on The Spun | By Kameron Duncan | Last updated Jan 14, 2025 11:23 AM ET

The Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams were both impressive in their playoff victories this weekend. The Eagles took down the Green Bay Packers at home, while the Rams defeated the Minnesota Vikings after having the game moved to Arizona.

The two teams will compete for a spot in the NFC championship, familiar territory for both. The Eagles made the Super Bowl during the 2022 season, and the Rams won the Super Bowl in 2021.

Neither team is new to postseason success but only one can move on to the biggest game in their conference this season.

According to ESPN Analytics, the Eagles have a 65.4% chance to defeat the Rams on Sunday afternoon. An Eagles win would be a repeat of what took place on November 24, when Philadelphia defeated Los Angeles on the road at SoFi Stadium.

The Eagles will be the home team on Sunday for the second time in these playoffs. If they win, they'll be hosting the NFC Championship game if they end up facing the Washington Commanders.

If the Eagles and the Detroit Lions each win this week, the two teams will meet at Ford Field in the Motor City.

Philadelphia won 12 of its last 13 games before entering the playoff, and they seem to be one of the best teams in the NFC. Saquon Barkley has experienced a resurgence in his first season with the Eagles. rising to the level of a potential MVP candidate.

The Rams entered the playoffs by winning the NFC West for the first time since 2021 - the year they advanced to and won the Super Bowl. The Rams have already lost to the Eagles once this season, and they'll look to get the ultimate revenge by ending Philadelphia's season and pulling off the big upset.

We'll see what the Rams are able to do. They've gained a lot of momentum after a huge win over a very successful Minnesota Vikings team, and they're entering a showdown with a team they're already played.

Next weekend in Philadelphia, we'll find out which team is able to move one step closer to the ultimate goal - winning the Super Bowl.
