The Philadelphia Eagles and the Los Angeles Rams are set to collide in an NFC Divisional showdown on Sunday afternoon. Both teams were victorious in the Wild Card Round and trot into this game with some momentum.

The Eagles defended their home turf and beat the Green Bay Packers 22-10. Meanwhile, the Rams dominated the Minnesota Vikings en route to a 27-9 win.

It's expected to be 32 degrees during the contest, and there's a chance that it will snow as well. According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Philadelphia is a 6.5-point favorite. Not only are they favored to win this contest, but Todd Gurley also seems to be backing the Eagles on Sunday, which is funny since Gurley played for the Rams from 2015 to 2020.

Eagles News: Todd Gurley Wearing Jalen Hurts Jersey Ahead of Divisional Tilt

In a video posted on his Facebook page, Gurley is seen rocking a Jalen Hurts jersey.

He said, "This is the type of fit only winners wear... Philly Green."

This will catch Rams fans by surprise. During his six-year career with the Rams, Gurley had 5,404 rushing yards, 2,090 receiving yards, and 70 total touchdowns.

Gurley officially retired from the NFL in 2022 due to consistent knee injuries that hindered his performance. He was released by the Rams in 2020 and suited up for the Atlanta Falcons in 2020. Towards the end of his tenure with the Rams, things went sour. His constant knee injuries caused a rift between the two sides.

Los Angeles gave Gurley a four-year, $57.5 million deal in 2018 but the Rams released him before the deal was set to kick in.

The combination of these things has caused problems between Gurley and the organization. That certainly plays into why Gurley is rooting for the Eagles instead of his former team.
