The 9-2 Philadelphia Eagles travel to Baltimore to take on the 8-4 Ravens in an interconference matchup that will have big playoff implications.

The Ravens got a big bounce-back win over the Los Angles Chargers last week to stay within striking distance of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North. Baltimore's offense ranks in the top five of the NFL in both passing and rushing. Running back Derrick Henry is having an MVP caliber season, on pace for over 2,000 yards rushing. The Ravens' Achilles heel is their pass defense, which ranks 31st in the NFL.

The Eagles are one of the hottest teams in the league right now, winners of seven straight. Like Henry, Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is also on pace for over 2,000 rushing yards and is very much in MVP consideration. Philadelphia has the NFL's top ranked defense, allowing the least amount of yards and points per game. It also has the No. 1 rushing offense, leading in yards and touchdowns.

Here are the best odds and bets for this matchup.

*Odds from Caesars Sportsbook and subject to change

Ravens vs. Eagles Moneyline

Ravens: -170
Eagles: +143

This could be one of the best games of the season and a Super Bowl preview. Henry and Barkley are having historic seasons, and whoever has the better game could take a stranglehold on the MVP race.

While trying to pick the winner, two things stand out to me. The weakest unit in this game is the Ravens' secondary, and the Eagles are considerably better at the wide receiver position. With Philadelphia being the more complete team and having the momentum it has, I'm betting the Eagles to win straight up on the moneyline.

Ravens vs. Eagles Spread

Ravens: -3 (-115)
Eagles: +3 (-105)

Since I'm taking Philly on the moneyline I'm avoiding the spread. If you're set on the Ravens winning, I would bet on the Eagles to cover.

Ravens vs. Eagles Over-Under 51.5 total points

Over: -110
Under: -110

These are two of the best offenses in the NFL, and although the defenses are also good (especially Philly's), I don't think each team scoring into the mid 20's is that tall of a task. I'm better the over.
