Just saw this on my social media feed:
The Eagles will be the first team in NFL history to beat another team in two different continents in a single season.

GB limping in. I am surprised the spread is only 3 or 3.5
GB will have a hell of a time slowing down the Philly offense and the GB offense can't get out of its own way and just lost their best deep threat today. If the game is tight, i'd expect 30 + Josh Jacobs carries

Love to just to banged up for Packers to win... Really don't see it being close either.

Line is up to PHI -5.5.
Very low opening number imop
Eagles may be the value of the week giving 4
Packers did go on the road last year and upset The Boyz in the playoffs
But this Eagles team is better than that Cowboys team
And I'm not sure this Packers team is as good as last years Packers team
A few more injury concerns with the visitors than the home team
Just don't see the upset of the weekend in this one
So...
Philadelphia Eagles- 30
Green Bay Packers- 13

Out for all of 2025, agreed
The late season injury IMHO means he won't be ready when camp starts although some rebound quicker than others
I think Green bay needs a veteran alpha and possibly another WR with upside in the Draft

I like the action taking Philly this week, one of my favorite plays on the board for sure

Almost seems too easy. Admiral Akbar might agree.

Watson is a big loss for the packers IMO. They’re going to have trouble stretching the field.
If Doubs is still out, even moreso.
This isn’t even considering Love’s elbow. I would be shocked if Hurts doesn’t clear concussion protocol.
I like PHI by at least 10 in this one.

It’s my favorite pick of the week. Maybe it’s a trap, but sometimes things just aren’t that complicated. PHI can run & has a great defense.
They’ll advance to the 2nd round, and convincingly, IMO.

I jumped on the opening 3.5. Assuming Love and Hurts are both healthy and a go (which I expect), I think this is something like a two score win by the birds.

Better be getting the ball via turnover 3+ times for that to happen.

Zero idea why anybody would pick the Pack in this game. Totally irrational.

Packers are capable of beating the Eagles IF they put it all together. They have not put it all together all season.
Snotbubbles
Footballguy
Not only do the Packers have to "put it all together", the Eagles have to play below what they're capable of. If both teams bring their A game, I don't think GB can win.
Manster

I find it interesting that some of y'all are so sure the eagles win this game going away. Hurts is still in concussion protocol. If he doesn't play, I give GB a decent shot to win on the road. GB has a good defense, and can pound the rock. Love is capable enough.
I lean eagles for sure, but this one seems like a game that could play out different than everyone is expecting. It's the NFL after all.....and it's wildcard weekend. Things could get weird.

The line being only at -4 (I haven’t confirmed but just looking at thread title) screams to me that this game will be closer than most think. If there was such a disparity in talent, why are more people not betting on the Eagles?
Terpman22

Going 14-3 2 out of 3 years with 2 sets of offensive and defensive coordinators sort of prove the roster is very very good. You ride a 10 game winning streak within one of those 14-3 seasons, with all 22 starters from the opening game healthy for the first playoff game, going against a team that lost one of its top wide receivers, limping into the playoffs on a 2 game losing streak - all of that stuff - yeah, we are confident. Probably rightfully so? Doesn't mean we can't lose this game. Just probably not.
Of course the roster is good. But as Manster already pointed out.....it's Wild Card weekend.
Philly did only beat them by 5 in week 1. Watson really isn't anything special. If Doubs is back with Reed and a heavy dose of Jacobs I'm not so sure it's a layup.
Alex P Keaton

Packers haven’t beaten a good team yet this year, and have gone 0-5 against the only good teams on their schedule (Lions x2, Vikings x2, Eagles).
Why would ANYONE bet on the Packers?
I do think the Eagles are overrated, but they are still a top-3 NFC team easily.

The line opened at 3 and moved to 5.5. It's currently sitting at 4.5. My guess is Hurts concussion status is holding the line down.

Eagles played week one without Cooper DeJean, who has totally transformed the defense. They went from a bottom third defense the first month to the #1 defense in the league. Also, the first month, Philly was a pass centric team and threw the ball 30 times each game the first month (34 times in week 1). After the bye in week 4, they switched to a more run centric team and only had 30+ pass attempts in a game twice (with last weeks backup game being one of them). This version of the Eagles would beat the week 1 Eagles by 7-10 points.
Terpman22

I literally said "We could lose this game" I'm just saying we why are confident lol.
And if Christian Watson isn't anything special, who really is?
Watson: 29/620/2 Out
Doubs: 46/601/4 Solid Possession guy
Reed: 55/857/6 Prob the best of the bunch
Kraft had a pretty solid season for a tight end,

Between today/tomorrow, we will find out if this is something to really be concerned about. If Hurts doesn't practice tomorrow, they will be prepping as if Pickett will be the QB.

FWIW all the local beats have said there's a 0.0% chance that Jalen misses this weeks game.
Snotbubbles
Footballguy
Eagles just released QB Ian Book so that probably means Hurts will practice tomorrow.
unckeyherb
Footballguy
That would be my guess. I’m marginally concerned about rust but as long as he protects the ball, I think we handle business.

Watson is the only WR on the Packers that gives them a deep threat. Dobbs and Reed are good WRs but they have different skill sets than Watson. Without a deep threat I expect the Eagles to focus on shutting down Jacobs. I'm a Packer fan and while it's not impossible for the Packers to win, it is highly highly highly improbable.
Packers have a talented roster so it's not impossible. But I think they are still a year or 2 away. Last years upset of the Cowboys in the playoffs moved the expectations of the team up a year.

Lane Johnson called Jalen Hurts "sharp" in his return to practice yesterday.
In other news, the Green Bay Packers closed their practice session where they normally allow media to view individual drills, thus not allowing the media to see whether or not Jordan Love was able to throw the ball effectively after sustaining an elbow injury. Grip strength could be an issue for Love heading into Sundays game.

I think the Eagles should win this game. They have the advantage talent and health-wise.
The things that worry me about Green Bay:
1. Their D plays cover 2, especially disguised cover-2 off sim pressure. That’s like Jalen’s kryptonite. He is, by far, the worst QB statistically when he has to call the protections and account for sim pressure and then make the right read when Safeties or CBs drop back.
2. The Pack’s D is soft over the middle of the field, strong on the boundaries. Jalen has gotten a little better at hitting the middle of the field, but still not his favorite place to throw. I personally think he has trouble seeing the middle of the field well because the Oline are so tall.
3. Jordan Love is a tremendous athlete with a lot of poise. No real superstar receivers, but solid, serviceable guys that fill their roles. At TE Kraft is awesome and could give us fits, and having Mushrave come back might be big for them.
All it takes is one game- a couple turnovers, a great game by Love, GBP putting the Eagles in a spot where they have to throw and they can run the ball to kill clock. Looking forward to this as one of the better games this week.
Go Birds!

I’m not scared of this team- I think the Eagles should win. But, it’s playoffs now, and I’m not sleeping on them. They are arguably the best 7 seed in recent history. And Love had some nice playoff games as a rookie.
