DraftKings. Dontayvion Wicks has yet to clear this line this season. His role is a bit different than years past, playing more out of the slot with Jayden Reed on injured reserve. That will pit him against Cooper DeJean - the Eagles slot cornerback is one of the NFL’s best. And with Christian Watson healthy, and Luke Musgrave also possessing downfield abilities, I’m loving the under on Wicks’ longest catch tonight. I’d bet this down to under 15.5 yards.
The Eagles are coming off their bye, which was probably the refreshing break they needed to figure out what they want to do offensively -- namely how to run the ball a lot yet keep AJ Brown happy. Brown is fully healthy, though the same cannot be said for the Packers pass catchers. The devastating Tucker Kraft injury is going to be a major problem for Green Bay, which only has Romeo Doubs left as a trustworthy week to week option. Philadelphia on the road Monday night has a chance to plant its collective cleat in the ground. The board is over the place, but the Eagles are the play anywhere from +1.5 to -1.
Green Bay was embarrassed last time out; losing outright to the Panthers as a double digit favorite. These same Eagles they're playing tonight ended their season last year as well so there are few motivating factors aligning with the home team. Yes, GB is dealing with cluster injuries at the WR position and are not the model of healthy but in my opinion that's more than reflected in the current price. Philly continues to get support in the market and with the price dipping to a PK I'm going to buy low on the more desperate side and expect Matt Lafleur to raise his game in the coaching box as well given what's at stake.
This is a good bounce back spot for the Packers after a very disappointing loss to Carolina. The loss of Tucker Kraft has to be the reason that this line is so fishy with the public very heavy on the Eagles. The Packers are coming off a bye, extra time to prep. Philadelphia has won and covered three of the last four meetings between these two and even though the Eagles had progressed offensively over their last two games, their defense has still allowed 20 points, or more, in 6 straight games.

Packers All-Pro safety Xavier McKinney has cleared this prop total in all but one game. Last week he played 65 percent of the snaps in the box, leading to nine tackles. With Philly’s run-based attack, I bet McKinney to record at least six combined tackles.

Goedert’s Over 3.5 receptions line is up to -190 on some books, so I’ll take a stab on Philly’s TE to record that 5th catch at good plus odds. Goedert is coming off consecutive games in which he caught 3 receptions on 3 targets, but the Eagles ground game had them in command for most of those contests. In the two games prior, Goedert saw 9 targets against the Broncos, and 11 targets against the Giants. I expect Jalen Hurts to target him over the middle of the field frequently, considering how often the Packers employ zone coverage. If Green Bay looks to double A.J Brown, Goedert will have plenty of reception chances.
We might get some weather tonight in Green Bay but the Eagles have an all-terrain look about them that should be able to handle whatever the conditions. Saquon Barkley got motoring again last week against the G-Men with 150 YR and a pair of scores, including a trademark 65-yard explosion. The Birds are scoring 33 ppg in their last two, wins over the Vikings and Giants, as they look to pick up momentum as they did just about this time last season. The Packers have failed to convince since September, and red flags appeared in last week's home loss to the Panthers. If the Pack is starting to slide, the Birds will confirm that tonight at Lambeau. Play Eagles
After their outright loss to the Panthers last week, I understand why most are low on Green Bay. The Packers seem to play to the level of their opponent. However, I think the market is too high on the Eagles (80% of bets & money on Philly), who could very well be a 4-4 team if not for some fortunate bounces of the ball. I don’t trust Eagles OC Kevin Patullo, and Packers DC Jeff Hafley’s zone-heavy schemes could cause problems for Jalen Hurts, who fares much better against man coverage. Philly’s moves to acquire defensive pieces at the deadline could give them a boost, but I still don’t make them a PK em on the road in Lambeau. Buy low spot on the Packers.

The Packers head into this game with major questions around their passing game, with Tucker Kraft sidelined and three receivers listed as questionable. The only receiver fully healthy for Green Bay is Romeo Doubs, as Christian Watson works his way back into form following his recovery from a torn ACL. Unless Doubs replicates his three-TD game against the Cowboys, it seems like a longshot Love will be able to throw multiple TDs with the weapons at his disposal. The Eagles have allowed just three passing touchdowns since the start of October, and the last QB to hit them for multiple scores was Baker Mayfield in Week 4. Other books have this price much higher, and even then I think it should probably be above -150.
It's going to be cold in Green Bay tonight, with temperatures at 29°, a 7% chance of precipitation, and only 4 mph of wind. It's good football weather and good passing weather, or as good as it can be at 29°. The main point I have for this game is that the Eagles come off a bye, and they have won the last three meetings with the Packers over the last four seasons. They’ve won their last four games following a bye, and while it's not a good look for the Packers losing at home to the Panthers last week, this bet is more about the Eagles and their new players they just traded for off a bye. Eagles to win.

Since returning from injury, Watson is over this mark in consecutive games. His receiving yards line is low because he hasn't seen many targets (4 in each game), but he is Green Bay's best deep-ball threat. Dating back to last season, when Watson has gotten 4+ targets in a game he is 7-3 to the Over at this current line, and had exactly 39 rec yards in one of the misses. Green Bay is looking to bounce back after an ugly loss to the Panthers, so I expect Love to take some shots downfield to Watson.
There are a lot of teams in the NFC making their mark as the team to beat, but the Eagles haven't really come around to doing that quite yet. Tonight is a great opportunity to do just that against a solid Packers team. The Packers haven't been great as of late and are dealing with some big injuries at the skill positions. Meanwhile, the Eagles are coming off a bye, added impact players at the trade deadline and appear to be playing better on both sides of the ball. They're no stranger to winning on the road against good teams either.

The Packers and Jordan Love maintain a low play volume coupled with a slow conservative offense. I believe this is a matchup where the Packers can be successful considering Philly’s run defense ranks 28th in Success Rate against the rush, meanwhile GB ranks 5th in Success Rate on the ground. Both of these offenses play slow and typically are run heavy in neutral game scripts. I expect a competitive game environment and believe we’re likely to see limited play volume as that has been a staple of both teams.

Devonta Smith has caught 27 of 35 targets the past four games. Schematically, the Packers’ defense should lead to more opportunities for Smith than A.J. Brown. I would play this up to -125.
Much has been made about the Packers not having TE Tucker Kraft for the rest of the season. But to be completely honest, this is more about the Packers not playing as consistent as they've looked at their best. We know the Eagles are the model for consistency and in November and December, they are able to lock in with razor sharp focus.
The betting public's overexuberance with the Packers lingers. They have covered once in the last six outings. Philly might have gotten over its Super Bowl hangover in the most recent game -- specifically RB Saquan Barkley, who broke loose for 150 yards after previously not topping 88 this season. As a whole, the Eagles ground out 276 yards. With Green Bay's rush defense getting punctured recently, Barkley could serve up an encore. Under coach Nick Sirianni, the Eagles have won every game SU following a bye. They won't have to cope with emergent TE Tucker Kraft, whose injury last week closed out his season.
We successfully went against GBay last week and part of our reasoning was that they were looking ahead to this game. If that is the case, they ought to be plenty focused for this game against a team that beat them twice last season, once coming in the playoffs. I make this number 3.5 in favor of GBay. Philly's defense is not that good and they appear to be playing above what the numbers tell us. They commit a lot of penalties, can't get off the field on 3rd down, and can't pressure the QB. Not a big difference here, laying the points or playing the ML. Either way, it's Go Pack Go.

This is a tough matchup for Love against an Eagles pass defense that's been good this year and may be much better with the addition of Jaelan Phillips plus Nolan Smith coming back. All season long, Jordan Love's Achilles heel has been pass rush pressure. He has yet to throw a touchdown under pressure, has completed just 37.7% of his throws when pressured, has a catchable attempt rate of 68.8% when pressured and averages a weak 4.7 yards per attempt when pressured. Tack on losing Tucker Kraft and maybe some chilly weather in Green Bay on Monday night and it's a setup for a disappointing game from Love.
The Packers will be looking to rebound after another surprise defeat, with their two losses coming against the Browns and Panthers. But this is a terrible spot for it with the Eagles coming out of the bye healthier and with an improved pass rush. That should test the Packers' offensive line, and Jordan Love will be without top target Tucker Kraft and potentially Matthew Golden. The Packers secondary is down Nate Hobbs, and that could allow Jalen Hurts to have more success in the pass game, especially as the Eagles are the rare team with tackles capable of slowing down Green Bay's pass rush. This line makes sense on the surface, but the injury report points toward Philly having the edge.
