It's the NFC East leaders up against the NFC North division leading Packers when the Eagles head to Lambeau on Tuesday. Here are my tips for this matchup!
Philadelphia Eagles (6-2) at Green Bay Packers (5-2-1)
The Eagles are fresh from the bye and smashed the Giants before the week off, 38-20. Jalen Hurts was on fire with 4 passing touchdowns and the Eagles ran all over New York. Barkley and Bigsby both ran for over 100 yards as the Eagles totalled a massive 276 rushing yards. On defence, they picked up 5 sacks and will be looking to turn up the heat on Packers QB Jordan Love.
The Packers come off another disappointing defeat, losing 16-13 against the Panthers at home, which broke a 3 game winning streak. Their run defence struggled to contain Rico Dowdle so that will be a key matchup against the Eagles elite running game.
Leg #1 - Eagles +3.5
On form, the Eagles are the better side and usually love being underdogs, so I think they can definitely surprise the Packers. Especially with their running game, the Packers D struggled last week and the Eagles have the weapons to expose it. Philly are great on the road too, winning 8 of their last 10 and like playing the Packers, winning 4 of the last 5 meetings. Green Bay are just 1-5 ATS and lost at home last week against Carolina. Wouldn't surprise me if the Eagles win, but take the handicap as a safer bet.
Leg #2 - Saquon Barkley Anytime Touchdown Scorer
Barkley was back to his absolute best last week with 2 touchdowns against his old side. He faces a Green Bay run defence that allowed 2 rushing touchdowns last week. This should be a safe bet.
Leg #3 - Josh Jacobs Anytime Touchdown Scorer
Jacobs is almost automatic when it comes to scoring TD's. He has scored a rushing TD in 5 straight games and the only time he missed this season was back in Week 3 at Cleveland. Philly also allowed a rushing TD in their last game.
Same Game Multi
Eagles +3.5 / Saquon Barkley Anytime Touchdown Scorer / Josh Jacobs Anytime Touchdown Scorer = $5.60
Value Leg - Dallas Goedert Anytime Touchdown Scorer
Goedert looks like a great value bet to find the endzone. He comes off catching 2 TD's last game and that is second multi-TD game this season. His target share has been a bit down lately but he has a ceiling of 11 targets recently and Hurts likes to find him in the redzone.
