But you can always count on Sundays with the NFL on CBS and Paramount Plus. It’s a Monday edition of prime time pregame and I’m Claudia Bellafato here with you for the next hour breaking down the best bets in action you need to watch across the league from the ice to the hardwood and of course the NFL. Let’s start there. Week 10 wraps up with Monday Night Football. The Eagles on the road visiting the Packers. The Eagles coming off a buy, winning back-to-back games before at 6-2 on the season. The Packers coming off a loss to Carolina as 13 and 12 point favorites. To break it all down with me, we welcome in our good friend Tyler Sullivan. Tyler, the Packers have been dealing with injuries all season long, but they’ve also showed little consistency with the players they have that are available. What’s your level of concern with this team? Yeah, it’s frustrating, right? Because you look at this team and you say talent-wise, health permitting, they’re one of the best teams in the NFL. I remember we were looking at them through the first couple of weeks of the season, they were a juggernaut. After the Michael Parsons deal, you’re like, “Oh my goodness, this team could go undefeated.” It felt like that’s how good they were playing with not only on the defensive side of the ball, but also with Jordan Love on the offensive side. The thing is, they play with their food a little bit, and we’ve seen it a couple of times now this season. You see there, lost to the Cleveland Browns in Cleveland. That’s a good defense, but that offense is abysmal. No business losing to that team. And then last week’s another one where I think that maybe they were caught looking ahead to this game on Monday night. You lose at home to the Carolina Panthers. So, am I concerned about them for like say this game tonight? No. Because I think they play up to these games. I think they look forward to playing the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. It’s those next games. It’s those games that are kind of on the downward swing. Like next week for for instance, they play the New York Giants at New York. It’s coming off this game and it’s right before a three-game stretch against their divisional opponents. That’s a game where it feels like the Green Bay Packers kind of struggle. So, it’s not so much the marquee games, it’s those games where you’re kind of like, okay, they should win and all of a sudden you look at the scoreboard and you’re like, wait a minute, how are they trailing in the fourth quarter all of a sudden? So, it’s a little bit of jackal and high with this team, but in games like tonight, they should play up to their competition. Right. I was going to say regardless of who they’re facing, they play to the level whether it’s up or it’s down. So motivation we’ll say is there for tonight. Issue is you don’t have Tucker Craft who was a huge part of this offense on top of already being down some of your other top receivers. What adjustments do you expect them to make with Craft specifically sideline now for tonight and the rest of the season? Yeah, this is going to be really tricky because he is not your normal tight end. He was the lynch pin to this offense. He led the team in receiving yards. He was the only tight end this season to average 60 yards per game and have six touchdowns through the first nine weeks. He was legitimately in the midst of a breakout season and being looked at as one of the top tight ends in the NFL. And when you look at the wide receiver position for the Green Bay Packers, it’s banged up. We don’t know the status of Matthew Golden quite yet. Christian Watson’s been in and out of the lineup. You have Romeo Dobs, but there’s just not a lot of consistency there. So, it’s going to be interesting to see who steps up. Luke Musgrave is someone at the tight end spot who could fill the shoes at least positionally for Tucker Craft. I don’t know if the production’s necessarily going to be there, but to me, that’s the biggest concern here because we’re coming off a game now where you lost Tucker Craft and you were abysmal in the red zone, one for five against Carolina. That’s typically the spot where Tougher Tucker Craft comes into play. Josh Jacobs hasn’t been as efficient this season. So, we’re going to have to look at someone like Matthew Golden. If he plays, whether or not it’s this game or down the line as they can continue to go down the stretch, he was a first round pick. He needs to start playing like it. That’s the guy I would look at. There’s a lot of ifs though there, Sully. If he can fill this role, if he’s healthy, and now you’re facing an Eagles defense that got a boost during the buy. They brought in two corners with Michael Carter, the second, and Gyr Alexander. They also bolstered that pass rush with Jaylen Phillips. How much of an impact will these specific additions make and how much harder is it going to be for this Packers offense to get going? Yeah. No, you’re facing a team that really address their biggest needs. I would say that they’re probably one of the biggest winners of the trade deadline, if not the winner, because we looked at the Philadelphia Eagles and yes, a lot of people question the offense and the comingings and goings of AJ Brown, but they needed help on defense. They got nothing off the edge. I think that it was Zidarius Smith who had a team high one and a half sacks off the edge and he is now retired and they had to bring in Brandon Graham back from retirement. You bring in someone like Jaylen Phillips, he should certainly help you off the edge. But to me and you wouldn’t really know it because if you look at the stats overall, they’re actually pretty good against the pass. But to me, it was the secondary on the outside corner spot on the boundary opposite of Quinan Mitchell. And this is where I think it’s going to be interesting to see how they kind of deploy this secondary. As you referenced, they brought in a couple of defensive backs. Michael Carter, who’s more of a nickel guy going to play the slot, and you have Ja Alexander, who’s going to be on the outside. You could say that they just plug into both of those spots. But then we have to figure out what happens with Cooper Deene. He is the legitimate star in that secondary and he’s really kind of been that nickel guy. He’s been in the slot and he’s been dynamic in that role, but they’ve been flirting with the idea of putting him onto the outside as a boundary cornerback. I’m curious to see if they do that now that they have Michael Carter who can fill that slot role. So, to me, that’s the thing that we look at, not just for this game, because it might not matter because we have so many injuries on the Green Bay side at the wide receiver spot, but when we get to these playoff games and these high stakes games down the stretch when they’re facing top tier wide receivers, look for Cooper De and see where he’s playing. I am curious because usually I try to be able to tell which side you’re leaning. I can’t really tell because you think the Packers will play up to the Eagles competition, but they are dealing with so many injuries. We’ve seen Eagles money come in. The Packers still just a one and a half point favorite at home. Which way do you lean here? I like the Philadelphia Eagles. I think that they pull off this upset at Lambeau Field. And I think it’ll be tight, but ultimately I like what Nick Serriani’s been able to do historically coming off the buy. I like it because he’s 4-0 coming off the buy in his head coaching career with the Philadelphia Eagles. And I just keep going back to that Tucker Craft injury. I think that they might be fine overall down the stretch once they kind of figure out their new identity. But in the first week of him fully not being available to them going up against this Philadelphia team off the buy, well rested. It just feels like the recipe is there for Philadelphia to show that they are the Super Bowl defending champions. And don’t sleep on this angle. It was the Green Bay Packers who were vote trying to get the tush push voted out of the NFL this off season. You know the Philadelphia Eagles as well as I do. They’re a little petty. They use that motivation wherever they can find it. So Nicksi is certainly reminding his team that this is the opponent that did not want the tush push. I expect to see it a couple times tonight. So I was just about to say, can we get a line on that? Like how many tush pushes are we expecting here? Because they are petty. You’re right. They’ve run it four times in a row one time. So, let’s I don’t know, three and a half, four and a half. That’s fine with me. I’m taking the over. Tyler Sullivan, appreciate you.

But you can always count on Sundays with the NFL on CBS and Paramount Plus. It’s time for your HQ headlines. Starting with the big news from the NFL. The New York Giants have fired head coach Brian Dable. The move comes days after the Giants lost a 10-point lead in the final four minutes against the Bears. The Giants in the midst of a nightmare season at two and eight. Dav exits after nearly four seasons with a 2040 and1 record. Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kfka will be the interum coach. GM Joe Shane will lead the coaching search which indicates his job is safe for now. Joe Burrow was back at Bengals practice on Monday as his 21-day window opened. He’s been out with a turf toe injury since week two. Jake Browning and Joe Flacco have started in his absence. On the other side of the ball, defensive end Trey Hendrickson is doubtful to return against the Steelers this week. Hendrickson is dealing with a hip injury. And plenty of news coming from the Washington Commanders today. Head coach Dan Quinn says that both Jaden Daniels and Terry McLaren will not play this week in the Commanders game against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid. And Dave Quinn also announced that he is taking over the defensive play calling duties from defensive coordinator Joe Wit Jr. The Commanders are three and seven and ranked 29th in scoring defense. And Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson is expected to miss three to four weeks because of a knee sprain. That’s according to ESPN. Wilson limped off the field in the second half of Sunday’s win over the Browns. It’s the same right knee that kept him off the game last month. In college hoops, Houston has jumped past Purdue for the number one spot in the first regular season men’s AP top 25 poll. The Cougars moved up from the second in preseason rankings based on overall points. They had 18 first place votes to produce 36. Yukon, Duke, and Arizona round out the top five.

Taking a look at the most notable props for Monday Night Football. Lots of love for Jordan Love at 233 in the hook. Saquon Barkley who popped up on the injury report but officially good to go. Romeo and Dallas Goddard. With that, we bring in our friend Zach Simony to break down what lines you should lock in right now before kickoff. Zack, you and I talked off camera about this Jordan Love number, and I was curious to see how low it was, how high it was. Some shops at 225. Money has poured in at other shops all the way up to 233 and a half. How you feeling about it? You know what, Claudia? I actually wanted to change my pick on this. Sometimes you have a take and then you assess it and you look at your notes and you’re like, why am I taking the over here? But I’m going to stick with the over 233 and a half on Jordan Love. I think he’s going to play with a chip on his shoulder. Obviously, the poor loss last week against the Carolina Panthers and facing this Eagles team that he lost to in the postseason by throwing three interceptions, something he’s only done three times in his career. And then you look at this Packers offense. It’s been more reliant on the past this year. Jordan Love is actually eighth amongst starting quarterbacks in average passing yards per game. And the loss of Tucker Craft, we’re going to see how that affects the Green Bay Packers offense. It certainly will. We’ve seen him have so many short yards catches and runs this year. But I think with the loss of Craft, Love is going to have to air it out more, trust his wide receivers more, and that deep fall pass he has is definitely a threat uh in Love’s repertoire. So, I think he’s going to hit a couple of those. And then you just look at Jordan Love. He’s redot in the passing prop market where he’s eclipsed this prop in four out of his last five games averaging 282 yards. I know it’s a low number here, Claudia. I may be wrong, but give me over 233 and a half. I just want to say I feel you. I do that often. I do the whole write up and I’m like, do I really like it? So, if you don’t love that one, Zach, maybe I can convince you to go over on Jaylen Herd’s completions. I’ll talk about that in a bit. But you have him for rushing. Curious what you see on that angle. Yeah, I’m going to go over 31 and a half rushing yards for Jaylen Herz. This matchup, we can just go back to last year and get a lot of takeaways because they played in week one in Brazil. They played in the postseason as well. So, two matchups and I expect uh the Philadelphia Eagles coming out of the bye-week to have a more conservative game plan, which has been a pattern each of the last two years post bye-week under Nick Serriani. last year a 20 to6 win against Cleveland two years ago just a 21-7 win against Kansas City and that’s an area that’s given the Green Bay Packers problems their two losses this year were lower scoring games 13-10 to Cleveland last week 16 to 13 to Carolina so I think they’re going to try to milk the clock utilize that ground game and Jaylen Herz those two games that we touched on he had 33 yards rushing 36 yards rushing so this is one where I expect him to have a couple extra carries coming out of the bye-week his body can handle handle that. He’s not going to eclipse this by a crazy margin, but I think he gets just enough to hurl the 31 and a half rushing yards. And we know that they’re at their best and this offense really is starting to move when he is mobile, when he’s able to escape the pocket and get those scrambles. So, I certainly like the rushing there. Now, let’s talk about a running back in the passing game. You’re looking at Josh Jacobs. I’m also looking at Josh Jacobs. He’s been a huge part of this passing game. Yeah, Claudia. Josh Jacobs over 18 and a half receiving yard. You look at Jacobs, he said his health was not an issue a few weeks ago, but you could see it be a problem, especially in that Arizona Cardinals game. I think his play actually set the offense back, but maybe he’s returning to health. We saw him have a pretty productive game, at least on the ground last week against the Carolina Panthers. Had 87 rush yards, averaged 5.1 yards per carry, and I think he get an established role once again in the passing game. It wasn’t too long ago where he had a 3-week stretch where he had 44 or more yards receiving in three straight games. And this is in the area Jacobs had success against this Eagles team. As you see on the graphic there, the game in Brazil, 20 receiving yards, the playoff game, 40 receiving yards. So, this is where I do think the loss of Tucker Craft. Uh Jordan Love is going to have to have that checkown target. And I think Jacobs is the guy. I’ll go over 18 and a half receiving yards for Jacobs. Yeah, I’m on the same exact page. You talk about no Tucker Crap. That’s five vacated targets. A lot of those short yardage checkown situation. So, I’m big on Jacobs as well. And if you do look into the numbers when it comes to running backs in the passing game, the Eagles have done well defending. But Jacobs is a different type of running back. So, I do like him to have a big night. Let’s talk about some touchdowns here. And anytime touchdown, who you looking at? I’m looking at Packers wide receiver Romeo Dobs at plus 175 odds. I just love the chemistry that him and Jordan Love have. They have the timing routes pretty much on any type of route you can think of. The sideline throw the deep ball and certainly in the red zone. And Jordan Love over the past couple of years, he’s had so many prime weapons go down. Jaden Reed early in the season this year. Of course, Tucker Craft ACL injury just last week and we saw it with Christian Watkins miss a significant amount of time with an ACL. The one guy that’s been there for him is Romeo Dobs. This is a marquee matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. When you get in that red zone, you want to have that trust. And Love has that with Dobs. We’ve seen him have all four of his receiving touchdowns in prime time this year. Three against the Dallas Cowboys, the one on Thursday Night Football against the Washington Commanders. Let’s get Dobs, his fifth touchdown tonight at plus 175 odds. Yeah, great price there. Speaking of some plus money, I put together a little parlay. I want to hear your thoughts on it. We’re going to go Jaylen Herz. talked about trying to convince you on this one. The regular line’s 18 and a half, which I do like, but we’re going to bring it down to 18 or more, which he should hit because he’s doing it consistently. He’s done it in all but three of eight games this season. The Packers allowing the second most a game. Bryce Young is the only quarterback who hasn’t cashed this. Okay? And we’re talking one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the NFL. So, Jaylen Hurt, 18 plus completions. Josh Jacobs, I know you’re with me on this one. We’re going to go three or more catches. All right? He’s done that in all but one of the last six games and it’s the consistency. They’re going to continue to throw him the ball because Zach, he’s only missed one of his last 18 targets. So, we’re going to go three or more catches for him and then a touchdown because Jonathan Taylor, another player you and I were talking about how crazy he’s been this season. Jonathan Taylor is the only running back that’s been more productive when it comes to scoring touchdowns to being effective in the red zone. He’s the only one more effective than Josh Jacobs. So Josh Jacobs touchdown, three catches for him and Jaylen Herz completions. What do you think? Three to one payout. I love the last two on the Packers side, but I’ll be honest, the Jaylen Herz one does scare me a little bit. That doesn’t mean you’re going to be referring. It just scares me. I I feel more comfortable with the last two takes with the Packers with Josh Jacobs. Why not? You don’t think there’s going to be good back and forth and, you know, game script is going to work well here? I just, you know what, Jaylen Herz, he’s been so sporadic to me in the passing game. We’ve seen it be a problem early in the season this year. I think before the by-week, he had kind of uh switched back to getting getting the passing completions that we need him to see, but maybe the by-week affects him. Maybe being on the road on this big stage affects him. This is a Packers defense that I think is going to be hungry after losing those two games last year as well. So, that’s the only one. Like I said, you could be right. Uh, and I might be wrong on this one. Well, I hope you are wrong, Zachary. I understand. I I appreciate you. Thanks for hanging out with us.

Oh, Tony, I think it hit the ground. But you can always count on Sundays with the NFL on CBS and Paramount Plus. Let’s take a look at some notable games in the association and college basketball tonight. The Cavs laying seven and a half against the Heat. We got Mississippi State, Iowa State, Spurs, a road favorite at Bulls in West Georgia and UCLA. Big old spread there. UCLA length 33 and the hook. With that, we welcome back Zack Simmon and say hello to Katie Mox. Zack, let’s start with you. In the NBA, you’re looking at Lakers big man DeAndre Aiden, but you’re taking the under for him against the Hornets. Yeah, going under his points prop, which is 15 and a half. Claudia, you know, Aton throughout his career, he’s had that hard time shedding the label of consistency, and we’ve already seen that with the Los Angeles Lakers only a handful of games into the season. When it comes to the marquee games, Aiden has overproduced. We saw it just last Monday facing his former team in the Portland Trailblazers. He put in 29 points. Wednesday, they had a nationally televised game against the San Antonio Spurs. He put in 22 points. But when it comes to the lesser smallcale games, as is the case today against the Charlotte Hornets, I’m expecting him to underperform. You look at this Lakers team, they’re coming off losing by 20 points against the Atlanta Hawks. So, I certainly expect Luca Don to be more assertive early on, probably take more shots to get this Lakers team off to a good start. Maybe Aon loses his confidence early on in terms of scoring. Just focuses on rebounding. I’ll go under 15 and a half points for DeAndre. And I’m just going to go for the biggest spread on the board and go ahead and lay that 11 and a half with the Pistons versus the Wizards. Obviously Detroit I think has clear edges. Uh when it comes to the metrics and then also the trends. Wizards 1 and N against the spread overall. 0 and4 against the spread as double digit underdogs. They have the leaked worst uh net rating. And the Pistons have just really shown a lot of consistency here. Uh and they tend to be trending up. Uh point differential gap is massive here. We’re looking at Detroit plus 5.6 6 points per game versus Washington, which is 16.9. That is a 22point swing. Defensively, I think there’s a bit of a mismatch here as well as the Wizards allow an NBA worst 128.4 points per game. And the Pistons have been pretty consistent there as well, led by Cade Cunningham. So, all signs to me uh just say, hey, lay this big number uh with the Pistons. Yeah, and the Pistons are the best team in the East. Eight and two, six straight wins. They are on a backtoback. So, the one spot I was looking there is CJ McComem. My favorite bet though in the association is actually going to be with another big man with the Phoenix Suns, Mark Williams, to have the most rebounds against the Pelicans. He’s lined guys at 10 and a half. So the oddsmakers are saying he’s probably going to get 11 here. And that makes sense because he’s already had several five double-digit games in just a nineame stretch right now. And he’s facing a Pelican squad allowing the most rebounds a game. Do you know how many Wemi just put up on them? 18. I had to triple check that. He had 18 rebounds against this squad. So, I am looking at Mark Williams to have the most in that matchup. Let’s talk some college hoops now. Zack, who are you looking at there? I’m going to take a small school matchup with Georgia State minus two and a half over Presbyterian. Georgia State, they are 0 and2 on the year, but this is their first home game. You expect them to step up being their first home game of the season. They’re coming off a competitive loss against Cincinnati where they lost by just 10 points. I look at Presbyterian. They were one of the lowercing teams last season in terms of points per game in field goal percentage. They only have two guys that score in double figures. And one of them is Carl Parish who’s shooting just 24% on the season. So I’m expecting that road offense to struggle for Presbyterian. I’ll lay the two and a half with Georgia State. I’ll give a bonus play as well. Charleston Southern minus three against Citadel. Zach, this is why we’re friends because when I see those 33 and a half spreads, I’m like, what? No, we’re not doing that. Two and a half three. I can handle that. I want to mention in the NHL some big story lines here. Oilers coming off the worst home loss in franchise history, a 9-1 loss to the A. So, this is a great spot tonight for their star and Conor McDavid. We’re gonna go over one and a half points. So any combination of assists or goals, he has to lead this team into getting above 500. They have the perfect spot against the Blue Jackets who are struggling, allowing the most shots a game. He’s cashed in three of four. We’re going to run it back tonight. And then we’ll take the Rangers to win in regulation against the Predators. They get a big boost back with Vincent Troche returning to that second line. It should give this squad a boost. I know people, they’ve been terrible at home. They’ve been shut out back to back, but they have the edge with Vincent Troche coming back. And on defense, they’re allowing the second fewest. Their opponent allowing the fifth most with the PR.

We got a lot of experience of grown kids that’s never ready to leave the nest. You need anything? I do have one question. We didn’t mean right now. You can’t count on Derek’s tons. Oh, Tony. I think it hit the ground. But you can always count on Sundays with the NFL on CBS and Paramount Plus. This just in from the NFL. Packers rookie wide out Matthew Golden is not expected to play tonight against the Eagles at Lambeau Field. Golden came into today questionable with a shoulder injury. He is off to a slow start for Green Bay with 23 catches for 262 yards and no touchdowns. And he is not expected to play in this one. Welcome back here to prime time pregame kickoff set for 8:15 which means you still have time to lock in those bets. Who will score first? Maybe that’s a bet you want to place. Josh Jacobs, that’s where you find the plus money. You’re not going to get much for an any time. So, first touchdown plus 440. And then, you know, Christian Watson 15 to1, maybe a little Dallas GD 12 to one. Now, we’re talking plus money. Let’s bring our friends Todd Ferman, Cena, and Katie Mox to break this down first. See, I want you to look into this crystal ball and tell me who finds the end zone first. I mean, isn’t it obvious? I think it’s very obvious that it’s going to be an Eagle and that it’s going to be a comfy blanket for Jaylen Herz and that’s Dallas Gddard, the main red zone target. I mean, when they get inside the five, inside the 10, when they’re passing the ball, it goes to Dallas. He doesn’t get a lot of work between the 20s. When they get to the red zone, though, it’s Dallas Goddard at 12 to1. It’s almost too easy. Claudia, you know, I like that 12 to1 that you gave and I’m going to meet you right there. And I do like Dallas Goddard for a play a little bit later, but I’m going to go with Devonte Smith here. He’s also at 12 to1. I mean, this is a guy that just thrives in zone coverage. Packers, of course, run heavy zone. Uh, and Smith, as we have seen, just excels with timing and with those intermediate routes. This offense for Philadelphia is a start fast offense. Eagles rank among the NFL’s best in first quarter scoring. And Smith, I feel like, is featured often uh and early in those uh places. And I do think there’s going to be a target boost as the Packers do limit those deep shots which could shift the volume towards Smith underneath increasing touchdown opportunities. So why not him to have the first touchdown at 12 to1 and CA I’ll see your 12 to1 and I’ll raise you a name that’s not even listed on that graphic right there. And it’s the manner center for the Green Bay Packers who hasn’t scored a touchdown since November 17th against the Chicago Bears in 2024. But the entire storyline coming into this game today is about the bad blood between these franchises and everything that went on this off seasonason with the tush push and that Green Bay was pretty outspoken about trying to get the play outlawed. What better twist of fate than if Green Bay has a first and goal from the oneyd line and it’s Jordan Love pushing it across the goal line with the first touchdown in the game today. I know Green Bay doesn’t love to run their quarterback in the red zone nearly as often as what we’ve seen from Philadelphia, but in a high leverage spot with Green Bay dealing with a rash of injuries to a lot of their prominent pass catchers. I think Jordan Love’s legs could play a little bit of a role. He breaks contain maybe a scramble or a short yardage situation. I’ll take a flyer for a very small position at 45 to1 that Jordan Love is your first touchdown score tonight. And that is what you try to do with these markets, right? If we’re going to go crazy, and you are by betting a market like this, why not go for a nice payout? I’ll go on the other side with Jaylen Herz because they’re petty. They’re a petty team. They’re they’re gonna do the tush push as many times as they can and it’ll probably start the game by doing it. So, I’ll go with Jaylen Herz there. I want to play a game now. This is going to be a little sharper. That one was fun. This one. Todd, I’m going to come to you first. I want to get sharp here. Each player is going to get a hundred bucks to spread across two bets. We’re going to talk spread and we’re going to talk total. And you put as much money as you want on either the side or total based on your confidence. So Todd, I’m giving you the hundred right now. Just picture it. Where are you going with it? I mean Claudia, I think this is as close as we’ll ever get to the prices right on this particular network at this point. Trying to figure out how we want to allocate our share of bankroll. So with a hundred bucks here, I’m not going to spend the full hundred because my level of confidence around this game isn’t through the roof. So I’m going to use 50 of it. And I’m going to break it up between side and total. I’m going to play 20 bucks or I guess I should say 22 to win 20 to look to go under the total, you know, hovering in the mid to high 40s. We’re expecting freezing temperatures. Two offenses that have known to operate in fits in spurts. Matt Laflur loves to slow things down, although it wouldn’t shock me if he saw a bit of tempo. But I think these defenses don’t get enough buzz for what they’re able to accomplish. So I’ll play 22 to win 20 going under the total. And I’ll take a slight contrarian angle with a number that’s moved against me all week long. 33 to win 30 on the Packers money line. You know, widely available right around that minus a110 range. Look, this game was a full field goal before Green Bay stubbed its toe and then some against the Carolina Panthers. We know Green Bay dealing with a rash of injuries. Uh Matthew Golden, as you highlighted coming in, along with a couple other guys, but this is the kind of spot where you want to back a team that’s desperate. And you look at the upcoming schedule for the Packers, there aren’t a lot of free squares anywhere for them to be found. Philadelphia, meanwhile, they can stub their toe in this game and still have a clear path to winning division with the Cowboys and Commanders falling back to earth. I think you get Green Bay’s best effort on both sides of the ball. Jordan Love makes the difference here. So, I’ll take the Packers for 33 to win 30 and I’ll save the extra 50 bucks for a couple adult beverages while I kick back and watch this game. I was going to say, Todd, I’m giving you $100. You’re not going to spend it all? What? What is this? That’s ridiculous. I’m saving some. Little Claudia, beers are expensive out here these days. I think we’re up to like 14 bucks a throw, you know, in the casino. So, I have to have a little bit of extra scratch in my pocket to really enjoy three and a half hours of entertainment. But Jordan Love is going to score first. You’re going to get in, get out, get that big payout. You can pay for all the beers you want on Ferman. Uh Katie, I’m going to come to you. Talk to me about the side first. How much you going to put on a side? Yeah. Well, first of all, I’m assuming this is free money. It’s like some kind of boost that we’re getting. So, I’m spending all of it, Claudia. I don’t know what Todd’s talking about. They’re only spending $50 of it. Um, but I will say I’ll I’ll put most of it I’ll put 70% or $70 on the Packers uh to cover this line. I just think they’ve got the home field advantage. They got the motivation coming off of a loss. They are 6-0 in their last six Monday Night Football games. Uh an average of 13, excuse me, plus 13 margin. And Lafleur 66% cover rate in prime time. The best of any coach this century. So I look for him to dial it up as he always does. And then on defense, I do think that Green Bay also has the edge here. They allow the fewest yards per attempt and completion. They’ve got a strong pass rush versus a Philadelphia team that’s ranked 28th when it comes to third down offense. Eagles are coming off of a buy, but Lambo prime time plus Leafur uh Lafur, excuse me. Give me the the Green Bay Packers plus minus the one and a half. So, I’ve got a different take here. First of all, I’m spending about half my money on a side here on the Eagles plus one and a half. can take the money line as well. The only reason I’m not spending all the money, Claudia, is I want to save a little for the prop market. That’s kind of where we specialize, right, Claudia? We got our NFL prop show. So, some of that’s going to go to the prop market, and we’ll talk about that maybe later on prime time pregame. I I love the Eagles here. Plus one and a half. Again, you can take the money line. I’m willing to discard what happened with the Packers last week. I’m willing to pretend it didn’t happen, but I’m not willing to pretend that the Eagles didn’t just boost their lineup on defense, not only with the trade deadline deals, but getting some guys back healthy. And then you contrast that with what’s going on at the skill positions with Tucker Craft and Matthew Golden is out. Looks like Dantavian Wix is going to play. I think there’s too much going on with that receiver core. Jordan Love hasn’t looked that great since week three. And again, the Eagles not just looking good from a personnel standpoint, but like Katie said, coming off a buy, the wrong team is favored. Give me the Eagles. I hate to say it. I’m a Commander fan. Give me the Eagles. Yeah. I mean, I I had the Eagles in a teaser with the Patriots, so I just need the Eagles to cover. But I do think they straight up win. I was curious how they would fare if AJ Brown and Saquon Barkley didn’t play because they popped up on the injury report, but they’re good. So, they should be okay cuz who’s Jordan Love going to throw the ball to? They’re going to be struggling out there. He’s going to be running for his life with all these Eagles defensive edition. So, I know it’s not up there on the graphic, but I’d probably put the majority of my money on the Eagles. Let’s talk total now. Uh Sea, I’ll come back to you. With whatever money you have left, how much you putting on this total, and which way you going with it? Yeah, I’ll take the under and and I’m only going to put up this $100 bank roll. I’m only putting $10 on this because, you know, with totals, they can be really finicky. But what I do respect with both of these teams is their willingness to run the ball and their willingness to take the play clock down to 54 321 seconds. So, I think possessions are going to be limited. I think both teams are going to try to get in and get out with the running game until they need to spread it out maybe when this uh when when somebody’s down seven or 10 points. I think we’re going to see a lot of clock management here. Give me the under. Uh again, I I think this should probably be in that 44 43 and a half range. And I’m on the opposite side of this. I’m going to take the over with the rest of the money uh that I have left. Just when you look at the way that these two teams have performed recently, the Eagles last three games and the Packers last two games have all gone over this number of 45 a half. You got to think on the Eagle side, the Herz and Barkley combination is going to fuel Philly’s ground game. And I do think that Jordan Love is going to be able to keep Green Bay’s uh attack balanced and efficient even though there are some injuries on that side. Both of these teams are certainly capable of chunk plays and red zone efficiency. We talked about the cold weather. I feel like that means a lot of quick passes, uptempo, um leaning towards a more higher scoring game. Both of these offenses are kind of trending up right now. Defenses maybe look a little bit more vulnerable. So give me this over 45 and a half. All right. Last time I give you guys a hundred bucks. Everybody’s not using it. Come on. Uh Katie, see you. Todd, don’t go anywhere. We’re going to do best bets on the other side. And you don’t go anywhere. I know you’ve been waiting. Our all on the line wagers. It’s coming. Don’t go anywhere.

We’ve got Eagles, we’ve got Packers, we’ve got Katie, CIA, Todd, and I’m Claudia. And we’re going to tell you what we feel strongly about most. Like I I’m not saying you have to pick a side. You don’t have to pick a total. The $100 out the window. Todd, on the line wager, where are you going? I’m going to go to a player prop market and I’m going to look in that Eagles backfield, but it won’t be with Saquon Barkley. Instead, it’ll be with Jaylen Herz, and I’m going to take him over eight and a half rushing attempts in this game. Now, I know the Eagles have been reluctant to run their starting quarterback over the last four games that we’ve seen them. He hasn’t had more than seven carries in any of those contests. But you dial it back even further, in the first four games of the year, he was more than willing and capable as a runner, toting the Rock nine plus times in each of those games. He’s had an extra week to try and heal up. It’s a high leverage spot. And if you dig through this list of opponents that the Green Bay Packers have faced this year, they’ve yet to really contend with a mobile quarterback. I think Jaylen Herz’s legs become that X factor that Green Bay and Jeff Hafley’s defense is forced to contend with here. Look for him to get multiple touches inside the 5yd line. Maybe the potential late and a half or end of game for a knee or two. I think Jaylen Herz can carry the ball upwards of 10 times in the game today. I’ll take him over eight and a half at that modest 102 price tag currently available at FanDuel. All right, see how you like Dallas Goddard for the first touchdown. He’s going to have to catch a reception in order to do that. So, give me Goddard over three and a half receptions. It is juiced to minus 138, but some books have already moved this line to four and a half. So, shout out to our friends over at FanDuel. Four plus targets in four of seven games this season. He does have a favorable matchup as the Packers allow the most tightin receptions in the NFL. 56 total, about seven per game. So, give me Goddard over three and a half. Love the Goddard look. I also kind of like Devonte Smith, like a little Christian Watson. But here’s what I’m settling on. Thanks to our friends again like Katie said at FanDuel. Love this number on most rushing yards for the game. Saquon Barkley at minus 135. As we know, this is a two- horse race and a two- horse race only between him and Josh Jacobs. They’re both slated to get around 17 and a half carries, but Saquin is slated to projected to get about 14 to 15 more yards than Josh Jacobs. And frankly, that makes a little bit more sense to me. And it wouldn’t surprise me if Saquin actually gets more carries than Josh Jacobs. Maybe we see a little bit more Emanuel Wilson. There is no 1B or 1A for the Philadelphia Eagles. It’s all Saquon Barkley if they want to win this game. Most rushing yards minus 135. Saquon Barkley. I’m going to go on the other side with the other running back. But talk about the receiving game and I mentioned this earlier with Josh Jacobs. I threw it in my parlay. I know it’s a little bit juicy at minus 156. Shop around. That was the cheapest price I saw. if you want to go three or more catches for him. But here’s a little teaser for you folks out there. We’re going to put a parlay together. So, this would be my leg. It would be Josh Jacobs. Three or more catches. That way, you feel better about the price tag here. But, he’s done this, guys. He’s had three or more catches in all but one of the last six games. And he has been so consistent for them. He’s seen the last 18 targets he’s seen. He’s only missed one. He’s had 17 catches on those 18 targets. They’re going to use him early and often. I know the Eagles have been good against receiving running backs, but they haven’t faced this Josh Jacobs who also is going to see that increase in targets cuz no Tucker Craft. They’ll certainly use him in that short yardage passing game. So Josh Jacobs, I know it’s juicy, but don’t you worry, we’re going to throw it in a parlay. And that’s what we call a teaser in the show biz. Don’t go anywhere. We’re all going to be back and tell you what that payout’s going to be when we put it all together.

But you can always count on Sundays with the NFL on CBS and Paramount Plus. Wrapping up this Monday edition of Prime Time Pregame with a little prime time pregame parlay. We had Katie and Todd and CIA on before. Todd likes Jaylen Herz over on rush attempts. We couldn’t get that as a leg, so we’re going to go with Barkley. Sea likes Barkley to have the most rush yards. That’s a fun market at 135. Katie likes Dallas Goddard to have four or more catches and then Josh Jacobs over on receptions. A little juicy for me at minus 156. But if you put all of them together plus 340. That’s a nice little payout. And then if you do want to back Todd, you can take Jaylen Herz over on rush attempts at 8 12 or rush yards at 31 in the hook. And that’s going to do it for us on this Monday edition of Prime Time Pregame. For the rest of the crew, thanks for hanging out with us. Enjoy Monday Night Football. See you next time.

Kiana Martin here alongside my girl Maline Burke. And Meline Love hurts. Well, that might also be true. It also headlines an NFC Monday Night Showdown from Lambo. Absolutely. I see what you did there right here. and Jordan Love and the Packers host Jaylen Herz and the Eagles in a rematch of the 2024 NFC wild card game. Now, the Eagles did win that game. In fact, Phillies won the last three matchups between these teams, playoffs included, and Love is 0 and2 against the birds. So, can the Packers get their lick back on prime time Monday Night Football? Well, this rivalry actually gained greater meaning over the off season when the Packers proposed a ban on the tush push. Now, their efforts though were unsuccessful with NFL owners failing the meeting uh 75% threshold there, but they were close. And both head coaches were asked about the play in the leadup to Monday night. You like that it gets under people’s skin? Not nec I what that doesn’t I don’t care. Yeah, I don’t again I try not to get wrapped up into into things that are out of my control. Um, and so I I don’t have an opinion either way. Um, you know, this is the rule. This is what we’ll play by with the rule and we’ll go from there. This week that the Packers submitted the the proposal. I I don’t get wrapped too much into that. Um, not no. So, what do you think of the tush push? I know it’s a it’s a big storyline this week. I mean, I’m sure you’ve seen maybe some of the officiating of it. Yeah. I I think the best way to stop it is to not to allow it to happen in regards to you can’t you can’t allow them in those shortyarded situations because you know exactly what they’re going to do and they’ve been pretty successful at it obviously. Is your opinion on it changed at all from the comments you made at the annual? Like I’m not going to get into it. Um it is what it is. You know, the NFL made a decision and we have to find a way to try to stop the play and it’s a tough play to stop. Now, one player who’s been proven very tough to stop since becoming an Eagle has been Saquon Barkley. He had by far his best game of the season in week eight against the Giants, rushing for a season high 150 yards. Saquon was asked this week if he’s encouraged about the current direction of the Eagles offense. I don’t think it’s encouraging. I think it’s, you know, it’s supposed to happen. We come in, we work. Um, and when you put the work in, you know, you believe it’s supposed to happen, in reality, it only gives you a chance. Um, that’s just how, you know, life works for some reason. Um, but, you know, I always, like I said, I I never lost faith of it. Um, I appreciate, you know, KP and all those guys sticking with it. Um, especially the run game. And you know, also in this league, it’s what have you done for me lately? So that’s in the past. We had a great game, now we got to build on it. As for the Packers, they’re coming off a shocking 16-13 loss to the Panthers in week nine. It only gets tougher from here with a matchup against the defending Super Bowl champs on Monday Night Football. Jordan Love and company believe they’re ready for the challenge. Yeah, no, they’re a good team. Um, obviously, you know, two two uh losses against them last year. So, um, it’s going to be a test. You know, we know that it’s Monday Night Football. Be a great atmosphere. Um, and it’s going to be a test. It’s going to be a bounceback week for us. And, uh, you know, like I said, we just got that mindset um to to focus on us and, uh, our process and and, uh, all the little details and and just have that mindset to go out there, start fast, and, uh, play our best ball Monday. I don’t think there’s a bigger test than the Super Bowl champs. they’ve done something that we haven’t done. It’s like, how do we get over that hump? I mean, we’re going to have to see them again. Like, this is a team that’s going to be a playoff team. It’s going to be a team that we could potentially run against in the playoffs deep in the playoffs. You just don’t know how it goes, but it’s like, how can we win the big games because that’s what’s going to take. Now, here’s a look at the notable activives and inactives for this one. Former Packer Jaier Alexander, who was traded to the Eagles ahead of the deadline, didn’t end up making the trip and is out for this game. Now, center Cam Jurgens also out with a knee injury on the Packers side. Green Bay will be without wide receiver Matthew Golden. He’s out with a shoulder injury and defensive end Lucas Vaness. For more on the Monday night matchup, let’s send it over to the desk where Keon and the guys have more. Thank you so much, Maline. I’m thrilled to be joined by the twotime champ Brian McFaten, our resident CBS Sports NFL analyst Emory Hunt. And after last week’s led down to the Panthers at home, Packers facing a challenging road ahead, and that begins tonight against the defending champs. Playoff implications also holding a major role in tonight’s outcome. Green Bay narrowly holding on to that top spot in their division after Detroit’s win over Washington. So, BMAC, how are you viewing the NFC North race ahead of tonight’s matchup? I think this race in the black and blue division will come down to the very last weekend in the NFL because of the competitive nature. Look at the neighborhood that these teams are living in. I mean, these are big houses, expensive houses. With that being said, all quality teams in terms of the top three. So for the Green Bay Packers, seeing what the Detroit Lions did last yesterday, dismantling the Commanders, seeing the Chicago Bears finding a way to beat uh the lonely New York Football Giants, it’s it’s important for the Green Bay Packers to take care of their business because I like what I’m seeing from Detroit. When you look at what they’re doing offensively and defensively getting healthy and then when you look at Ben Johnson and the job he’s done with the Chicago Bears, they’re becoming a very very scrappy unit. So for for for for the Green Bay Packers, they’re too talented of a team to have the type of letdowns that we saw last week against the Carolina Panthers. And every team in this division has something that you have to be careful against. You talk about the Green Bay Packers. They have a lot of different options. They can run the football. Minnesota has Brian Flores. They have arguably the best receiver in the in in the NFL and Jefferson and also Chicago has dynamic ability on offense with a quarterback that’s also coming into his own. Detroit has the best running back in the game in my opinion and Jamir Gibbs. Explosive talent and a head coach that’s going to bite your kneecaps off and do stuff like that, right? So, they have a lot they have to worry about. We may see three teams out this division get to the postseason, but man, they have to win to keep pace otherwise it could be on the outside looking in. We’re literally putting a button on week 10, but it almost feels like at this point of the year there’s such a slim margin for error. Like there’s a few divisions like that and this is one of them. But Green Bay, they will be playing their first game without tight end Tucker Craft, who’s out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL. He did leap the team with 489 receiving yards, six touchdowns, but beck. How did the Packers just adjust without Craft now being in the passing game? Well, Luke Musgrave, the former second round pick some drafts ago. He needs to show up because it seems like the tight end quarterback relationship is something that Jordan Love really loves in terms of working the scenes, especially in the red zone. So for Luke filling in for Tucker Craft, uh he’s not the athlete that Tucker Craft is, but he’s more than a willing participant in the passing game in terms of his athleticism and being a short-handed catcher. So I I really look for Luke to have a nice game because when you look at the pass catchers at the wide receiver spots for the Green Bay Packers, you never know who could be the guy. is always a musical chair type situation there because they have they have a flux of talented guys but no one has really stamped their name of approval as the wide receiver one and there lies the opportunity to see many guys get an opportunity to to to show up in the stat sheet but I’m looking for Luke Musgrade to have a pretty nice day when you look at what Tucker Craft has done before his injury really quick before you get into that Ery I want to take a look at this graphic because if you notice between Craft and Dabs that’s 10 touchdowns for the Packers now you no longer have Craft Who steps up now? Luke Musgrave. And here’s the reason why I love the draft and the draft matters and all of the evaluation matters. So Luke Luke Musgrave was my number two inline tight end in the 2023 draft coming out of Oregon State. And what was underrated about him was his pass catching. He wasn’t asked to do a lot of it. But when we saw him down at the Senior Bowl, he did a fantastic job in running routes and also catching the passes. But also Savon Williams, the rookie in this draft class, was my number one inside receiver. When I say inside receiver, we talk about that tight split close to the line of scrimmage, but he could line up in three different spots. He could be a Wildcat quarterback. He could be a running back. He could be a receiver that can play all three receiver spots. So, they have options in the passing game. And Musgrave because he’s a good blocker on the end line. He can also get down the seam and also create opportunities for everybody else. So, I don’t think they lose much with Craft. Craft was getting a lot of targets and was a fantastic uh talent in his own right. It’s okay to draft two good tight ends and the Packers did just that. So, they have an answer in tow already. Okay, good that they have that option because you think about it, Craft leading the team in receiving yards as well as touchdowns. Now, they’ll be relying on someone else to kind of help pick up some of that slack. But as for the Eagles, Nick Serriani four and 0 fellas coming off buys as the Eagles head coach. Bmac, what do you attribute that to? Uh, just the ability to prepare and execute when you have an extra week to prepare for whoever the team is you’re facing coming off the buy. But this is what the Philadelphia nature is. Remember when Andy Reid was the head coach for the Philadelphia Eagles? He had the same success coming off the buy. So something in the cheese stakes there in Philly when you coach the Eagles, when you come off a buy, you’re probably going to win more than you will lose. And hats off to Nick Serriana. He’s done a phenomenal job and not just beating teams coming off a buy, just always being competitive and having an opportunity to get into the tournament. So in terms of preparation and you look at now the Eagles getting healthier, you know, you get Nolan Smith back into the fold. He really showcased the ability to be a dominant edge rusher, but he was missing some time. You know, having that buy came at the right time because remember Saquon Barkley didn’t finish the ball game against the New York Giants the last time they were out. So he needed that extra week to prepare. So this is the time guys, I often say in terms of November football, playoff caliber teams, you’re either going to be thriving or you’re surviving. The ones that thrive, they get into the tournament. They win games like tonight. The ones that are surviving, they usually don’t find themselves getting to the playoffs. I I will say this. I I love what you said, BMAT, because that was great. It was politically correct. Can we get that graphic again, guys, in the back? Cuz I’m going to say the quiet part out loud. What you talk about when you talk about coming off a buy, 99% of it is who you play. Like look at this. The Browns, come on now. Chiefs, that’s when their office was having question. Who who was your quarterback in 2022? Exactly. Bingo. And then the commanders, come on now. So yes, it does help that the team is getting focused and well coached, but also who you play coming off that buy plays a significant do. Uh-uh. You’re not going to do that because one thing about the NFL, this ain’t college. In November, when you see a good team in college football play a bad team, the good team usually win. The NFL, the parody is well documented. Just yesterday, we saw Miami do what to Buffalo? That is true, right? You never know what you’re going to see in the National Football League. But we have the benefit of hindsight here. The point was great. The point was great. Who was your quarterback in 2022? Who exactly? Mason Rudolph probably, but it don’t matter. We was a playoff caliber team. It’s the Steelers. That’s what we do. And they go to Super Bowl. Nonetheless, Eagles looking to survive and thrive as they go into this one. But Saquon Barkley, fellas, I mean, he did receive a ton of criticism for his early season performance, but he did bounce back in a major way in Philly’s last game against the Giants, rushing for 150 yards. That was his first 100yard game of the season. And so Embry, was that just a one-off in your mind or do you think that maybe Elite Seaquin is back? I think Elite Squin is back even though we’re still seeing some type of shuffling along the line of scrimmage, especially with center Cam Jurgens, that throws off everything. But when you are getting into that running back groove because the passing game is starting to now find it selays with Philadelphia. So that’s going to open up things for the run game because they weren’t able to get the passing game going early. The run game was getting shuttled. And so now because they’re throwing the ball rather well, I think that’s going to open things up for Saquon. So what we saw last game against the Giants is more of a sign of things to come. Now it may not be 150 because this is a very tough defensive front seven, but he’s going to get back to ripping off those long runs like we saw him do last season. And this is what we expect to see. It just was a bit stagnant in terms of the running game, how they started the season off because we know Saquon Bark was one of the more explosive backs in the National Football League and instantly we thought we would see 2024 Saquon Barkley. Well, opposing defenses were determined to not allow Saquon Barkley get off and run like how he ran in 2024. But the week what two weeks ago against the Giants, something clicked. The momentum, the small creases, he was able to turn five yard runs into 40 or 50 yard runs. So in tonight’s game, this is a this is a tougher test because to Emry’s point, the Green Bay Packers run defense, they’re number two in the National Football League. They don’t allow a lot of splash plays, better yet positive yards. So, if we can see Saquon just kind of get things rolling, that helps the entire offense dramatically in terms of the running game and providing a sense of balance. It’s going to be interesting to see what version of Saquon Barkley we get to see here on Monday night. But like he said, we heard it at the beginning of the show. He said this is supposed to happen. This is what he expects to happen on those game days. But Packers guys, they were favored by one and a half all day. Now lines flipped. It’s now Eagles minus one and a half. Emry, how are you playing this one? I like the Eagles in this ball game. I love the fact that they have bound their offense. They’re coming off the buy and I do feel like we’ll see them attack Green Bay who has been a bit inconsistent in their offensive approach in terms of we don’t know what to expect week to week from Green Bay outside of Tucker Craft. So now without Tucker Craft, they got to find ways to get everybody else integrated in the offense. I think that plays to the Eagles hands. Now shouts out to the viewers that are watching us who took the Eagles getting a point and a half because of the line movement. Now the Eagles are given a point and a half. So you’re already playing with house money to say the least. But for me, I’m taking the Eagles as well. We talked about Nick Serriani being undefeated coming off the buy. Well, his quarterback is undefeated as well. But look at his individual numbers. 4-0, completing almost 70% of his passes, almost 280 yards, 11 touchdowns, two interceptions. It’s something about Jaylen Herz where he provides a lot of hurt to the opposing team he’s facing off against. coming off a buy. I got to follow trends in terms of trying to put money in your pocket and most importantly make you feel good with great picks. Give me the Eagles as well. Both of the fellas on the Eagles. Meanwhile, the Packers would like to have a work as they’re trying to stay a top of that NFC North rates, fellas. Good stuff right there. Thank you so much. Well, coming up, we’re putting the facts up to the numbers. Our Pete Prrisco and Todd Ferman stopped by to examine Philly’s offense and whether the Eagles can fly high at Lambo. That’s next. Don’t go anywhere. You can’t count on accurate expiration dates. Oh, that is a rookie mistake. Or the kindness of strangers, the Ravens. But you can’t always count on Sundays with the NFL on CBS streaming on Paramount Plus. You think you understand how this business works, but you don’t. I now know why mommy was so stressed.

It’s so loud in here. Oh man, this is awesome. That power. Oh my goodness. What a performance. My name is Francois Crutchfield, but everybody calls me Crutch. Crutch. Crutch. Crutch. Crutch. Crutch. Crutch. We got a lot of experience of grown kids that’s never ready to leave the nest. You need anything? I do have one question. We didn’t mean right now. You can’t count on Derek’s tons. Oh, Tony, I think it hit the ground. But you can always count on Sundays with the NFL on CBS and Paramount Plus. Well, Jaylen Herz and the Eagles sent Green Bay Packing twice last year. First in the season opener in Brazil and then in last year’s wild card round in route to Philly Super Bowl title. Philly looking for that same end result behind Herz’s arm who’s completing over a career-high 70% of his passes so far this season. And for more behind the numbers, we welcome in Pete Prrisco and Todd Ferman. Uh fellas, Jaylen Herz, I mean, he’s been on another level so far this season, especially these last two games, throwing for seven touchdowns compared to zero interceptions, also completing 79% of his passes during this span. Pete, what are you seeing from Herz right now that’s working so well? Well, for one thing, he he’s had great success against the Blitz. And you know, when you look at the teams that they played the last couple weeks, particularly a couple weeks ago when they played the Vikings, they blitz the heck out of them, and he beat him with it. The problem is the Green Bay Packers don’t blitz that much. They’re fifth in the league at blitzing. What they do do is play a lot of off coverage. They play a lot of cover, too, which that means you have to be patient, and that’s what’s going to be the test tonight for Jaylen Herz. Can he be patient? You’re not going to get the big shots over the top. The Packers are great at defending the the deep pass and and really have limited those down the field this season in large part because Jeff Hafley likes to keep everything in front and that makes the quarterback really lean on his ability to be patient in the pocket and take the underneath stuff, take the stuff in the middle of the field. So, I think that’s the key here. In the past, Jaylen Herz hasn’t always been great uh when he has to be patient trying to dink and dunk down the field against the zone coverage. So, it’ll be interesting to see how he does it. He’s been better at it this year, which I think is a big step in the right direction for him. But ideally, he’d like to be blitzed and throw the ball down the field, attack it that way. Tonight, it’s a whole different plan for him. Just stand there, be patient, and take what they give you. And the other element of his game, Pete, that’s been missing over the last couple weeks is his ability as a runner. I mean, the first four games of the season, we saw Jaylen Herz tote the rock at least nine times or more. And then over the last four, we haven’t seen him carry the football more than seven times in any of those games. Now, some of that you can attribute to opponent. Minnesota does a good job in terms of keeping quarterbacks contained in the pocket, but I think his legs, given the leverage in this spot tonight, are going to be a focal point of what Philadelphia wants to do. Look, the narrative about the tush push potentially being outlawed in the game, well chronicled, and we know Green Bay led the charge. The Eagles as an organization are just petty enough to make sure that Jaylen Herz is gonna have every opportunity to lean into his legs, especially in short yardage in those third and one and fourth and one situations. I’m going to take him over eight and a half rushing attempts in this particular spot. You can also look at Green Bay and the opponents that they face this season. Not a whole lot in the way of mobile quarterbacks since they faced Jaden Daniels early in the season and Daniels didn’t have to be a runner that took off all that often as Washington really spent the majority of that game playing from behind. I think this is a buy low opportunity for Jaylen Herz as a runner. I’ll take him over eight and a half rushing attempts tonight. Petty, petty Eagles digging into it just maybe one more time at least in the regular season. I want to move on to the Eagles pass catchers because you think about it, AJ Brown back after missing a game, that game against the Giants. But Pete, how involved do you expect him to be in tonight’s game just given all of that noise that surrounded him this season? Well, whenever he has noise, you usually try and get him the football. But the problem is, like I mentioned before, this defense plays a lot of off coverage, which will eliminate a lot of those deep balls, those one-on-one opportunities for AJ Brown. I’m going to go in a different direction where I think they’re going to focus tonight. I think Devonte Smith is the guy. He’s averaging overund yards per game in the last four. He’s become a big part of the offense and he is the best at running those inbreakers. And when you run a lot of inbreakers against the zone coverage, the middle of the field is open when they try and take away the deep ball. So, I think he’s the guy that they will lean on early in this game. Also, the tight end position as well. Got it in the middle of the field. Those guys are going to be available to them. Here’s the other part of the equation. When you play a lot of zone zone coverage, particularly cover two, the flats are available. That means, you know, if you want to throw the football to the running backs, and that means Saquon Barkley, who’s been better catching the football this year, I think that’s going to be there. So, if you’re looking for AJ Brown, that’s not where I’m looking tonight. I’m looking in other spots to try and get the change to move because again I go back to what I said with Herz. This defense will give you the passes underneath. They’re not going to give you the over the top stuff. And Pete, I’m looking in the exact same direction because I’m going to take Devonte Smith over his receiving total in this game at 55 and a half. Now, it is important to keep in mind this thing opened at 51 and a half. So, it’s starting to see a little bit of money come in. Not exactly the best of the number, but for all the reasons that Pete outlined when you look at Devonte Smith, this is the guy that has operated from the slot. You can see that chemistry and rapport really starting to build with Jaylen Herz and a lot more trust in the receiver that we thought was going to be a bonafide number two coming into the year that’s starting to emerge arguably as the Eagles top pass threat. You look at Devonte Smith this season, more than a 26% target share, more than 70 receiving yards per game, 2.37 yards per route run, and nearly a 32% first read share. I mean, AJ Brown, unfortunately for the Eagles, has kind of become a one-trick pony. He’s got to win those one-on-one matchups on the outside that Pete mentioned. It’s a lot more of the deep ball. He hasn’t shown the willingness to go across the middle and pick up those tough yards. So Dvonte Smith has really been the beneficiary and I don’t think oddsmakers are pricing these two receivers the way that they need to in this particular spot. I’ll take Dvonte Smith to exceed oddsmakers expectations and go for 60 plus. Okay, maybe much of the same when we’re looking at AJ Brown, but at least more so of this focus on Smith, which is what we’ve kind of become accustomed to, but also we’ve become accustomed to at least in the past. Saquon Barkley having big outings, but instead he broke the 100yard threshold. It took until week eight to be able to do that. He did that against the Giants. Pete, was that just a one-off or maybe are you expecting a similar looking Saquon moving forward? What version? Well, it’s sure as heck nice to give him the damn ball once in a while. I mean, this is a team that was reluctant to get him going and I could never figure out why. And they seem to get it going against the Giants and I think that’s going to be priority here. You have to be able to run the football. The problem is the offensive line hasn’t been as good. Cam Jurgens, the center, not there tonight. That’s a problem. But when you look at this de this running game in the last three games, they’ve got their average up a bunch. They went from uh 4.0 for I mean I’m sorry 4.1 on the season to 5.2 for the last three. And the flip side of that is the Packers have been 4.0 on the season, but 4.4 the last three. So you got one team going in the wrong direction in against the run on defense and one team going in the right direction against the run on offense. So I think this is a game for Saquon Barkley. He’ll also be involved in the passing game. I mentioned that before. I think they’re going to get him on swing passes and screen passes. But if he doesn’t get 20 21 carries in this game, I think that’s cheating him and it’s cheating your offense because he has to be able to run the football. I mean, what good would this segment be, Pete, if we didn’t have at least a little bit of disagreement? So, I’m going to go under 76 and a half yards rushing for Saquon Barkley. You mentioned Philadelphia’s run offense coming to life a bit. It does come with a caveat. Two of the last three games for Philadelphia have come against the Giants. And I’m pretty sure every running back in the National Football League is able to flirt with the century mark against that poorest Giants run defense. Yes, Green Bay has struggled. It’s not trending in the right direction, but they were embarrassed last Sunday in that loss against the Carolina Panthers, a game they lost outright as nearly a two touchdown favorite. Gave up nearly 150 rushing yards. I think for Green Bay and Jeff Hafley’s defense, the focal point needs to be taking away Saquon Barkley, forcing Jaylen Herz to prove that he can beat you with his arm through the air. I’m gonna sell Saquon Barkley off that big performance against the Giants. I’m not sure if the explosives are in the arsenal, even with some extra time to heal up under 76 and a half. And I’m going to hope that he continues with this feudal run that we’ve seen this season where he’s only gone over 60 yards once if you back out that 100 plus performance against the Giants. Okay, so maybe not flirting with that 100 yard mark, but maybe that that carriage that we saw maybe turning back into a pumpkin for Saquon Barkley against the Packers. Fellas, thank you guys so much for that insight. Good stuff right there. Well, while the Eagles offense is starting to fly high, I mean, Green Bay looking to turn around their red zone. Wo, is this a prime opportunity against Philly’s meddling passing defense? Todd and Pete, they’re back to discuss. You can’t count on accurate expiration dates. Oh, that is a rookie mistake. Or the kindness of strangers, the Ravens. But you can always count on Sundays with the NFL on CBS streaming on Paramount Plus. You think you understand how this business works, but you don’t.

He led all rookies in home runs, ribbies, extra base hits, and runs. Curts became the first rookie since Aaron Judge in 2017 to have an OPS over 1,000. He had one of the games this season July 25th going six for six with four home runs against the Astros. Well, Jordan Love and the Packers looking to rebound from a disappointing loss to the Panthers in week nine where Love was held to his first game of the season without a passing score. Green Bay’s offense will look to fix their red zone woes without the services of their leading scorer Tucker Craft. Back here with the fellas on prime time pregame. Pete Presco, Todd Ferman. As we shift our attention to the home team, guys, get this. 275 yards, just shy of seven and a half yards per play. 70% completion percentage. I mean, to me, it sounds like a modest outing for Jordan Love, except Green Bay limited to just one for five in the red zone last week against Carolina’s defense. Incredibly, I mean, Packers didn’t punt all game, so moving the ball not quite the issue. But Pete, do you have concerns with Love & Co finishing said drives? Well, the inconsistency with Jordan Love has to be maddening. And I know it is to the organization because I’ve talked to people in the building and at times he just seems to lose it. And by that I mean he makes some of these throws that make you go, “Wow.” And he you saw a couple of them last week against Carolina. He’s too good for that and he needs to get that out of his game. And I think you see it in the big games. In the big games, he plays really well. against the lesser teams, he doesn’t play really well, which is weird. It should be the opposite. But I think focus is a problem there. And look, he’s one of those guys that needs to practice. They stay on him about his mechanics. Sometimes his mechanics Wayne and when they Wayne, he throws bad passes. He throws off his back foot. This is a playactionheavy offense. That’s what they want to do. They want to, you know, they’re fifth in the league in playaction throws. They want to run the ball and throw off the play action. and he does a great job of that, which is why the run game is so important to their success. But again, I go back to what I said before, the inconsistency. At times, you see him making throws where he’s fallen backwards. And you know, last year he didn’t practice much, and that concerned the organization a great deal in large part because he got into bad habits by not practicing. Well, he’s been practicing this year and so far the habits have been better. But you look at that Carolina game and you look at some of those throws on tape and you go, what were you doing? you got the bad mechanics going again. So, I think that’ll be something to keep an eye on early in this game. Play action, get the ball out, take those shots down the field, but see if he’s stepping into his throws because if he’s not, it’s going to be a problem for him tonight. You know, Pete, you mentioned not practicing for long stretches last year, and so much of that attributed to the myriad of injuries that Jordan Love was dealing with throughout the season. And one element of his game that I thought was a little bit undersold when he came into the league was his mobility in the pocket. You watch him at Utah State, not only an opportunity to extend plays, but take off as a willing runner. That’s something that we haven’t seen from Jordan Love each of the last two weeks, but it did provide an element that defenses had to contend with for about a five-game stretch. I think in a game of this magnitude, knowing that Green Bay is down one of its primary weapons in Tucker Craft, who’s been lost for the season. Matthew Golden inactive with that shoulder injury. All of the other key receivers dealing with the aches and pains, the bumps and bruises. Jordan Love’s gonna have to deal with a ferocious pass rush and for stretches if he’s able to break contain. He can’t just look to hunt the deep ball against this Eagle secondary. Take the runs, force them to contend with you and use those legs to pick up yards that are available. And I’m going to buy the dip here. Looking to take Jordan Love over his rushing total at 12 and a half yards. I think this is a player that can make defenses contend with some of his other skill sets. Pete alluded to the mechanics and Jordan Love’s ability to raise his level of play when he’s playing an upper echelon opponent. I think you have to see his ground game as part of what the Green Bay Packers can do today. This game significantly more important in my opinion for them than it is for Philadelphia. I’ll take love over his rushing total. I think the passing numbers pretty well set given how prolific he’s been from an underlying metrics that have him in the top 15 in a lot of key categories. Todd, I just want to let you know this is back toback. You betting on the rushing totals for the quarterbacks. I like seeing the quarterbacks being able to do more work with just without just their arm being able to do some mess some work with their legs. But I do want to talk about you brought up Tucker Craft. I mean, the Packers, they’re going to be forced to move the ball without their leading receiver. I mean, but the good news is Eagles have been average against the Pass so far this season, ranked 17th in the league. But the bad news, I mean, they did aggressively address the quarterback position at that trade deadline, acquiring Michael Carter, the second from the Jets. I mean, there’s no Jier Alexander, the former uh Eagle in this one, but or Packer rather. But Pete, do you what do you expect Green Bay’s offense now to look like without having their top target, their top tight end in this game? Well, you people forget that Luke Musgrave was the top tight end in that on that roster and then he got hurt and he lost his job to Tucker Craft. And so Luke Musgrave is more than capable of catching the football. And if you look and you can get him going in the middle of the field, I think that’s going to be something they’ll they’ll try and do. He’s not Tucker Craft right now, but he’s not far behind him. So, I don’t think they lose a ton uh when it comes to Tucker Craft not being there. The problem is the banged up wide receiver position. And where do you go? Look, Christian Watson is really an amazing story. That guy tore his ACL. When I was there in the summer, he was running sprints and they thought like he acted like he’d never even had the injury. Well, he’s back now. And you know what he does? He stretches the defense. He’s a go-getter down the field. And I think he’s going to be in play here. The Eagles like to play a lot of man coverage. You get one-on-one situations. You take those shots down to Watson. And I think Romeo Dobs in the middle of the field, 10 targets last week. I think he’s going to be also be a factor in the middle of the field. One thing about Dobs, remember, he suffered a concussion in that playoff game last year and knocked them out of the game, which is why he wears the Guardian caps. He’s had a lot of concussions. So, he’s in one of the We talk about bitter bitter uh teams against each other, the tush push, the fumble. By the way, the Packers are still stewing about the fumble and the opening kickoff in that playoff game. They recovered it and they didn’t get the ball back. So, there’s a lot of bad blood here. And now you got Romeo Dobs was knocked out of that game. I’m telling you, the receivers are going to be a factor here because the Eagles have been struggling, like you mentioned, against the pass. And I think there’s areas of vulnerability, particularly the third quarter. You know, they have struggled against the pass, but one area the Eagles have actually been surprisingly good is defending opposing tight ends. And I think for everyone out there that believes replacing Tucker Craft by just plugging Luke Musgrave into the same role, uh, is setting themsel up for some false expectations. So, I’m going to fade a little bit of the story line here and look to take Mus Grave under 28 and a half receiving yards. Look, he’s more than capable of hitting an explosive as he’s a guy that’s a little bit more comfortable with an average depth of target further down the field and a check down receiver that can run after the catch like we saw from Tucker Craft. But against this Philadelphia Eagles defense, they’re top five in the league when it comes to keeping tight ends at bay. And I believe given the injuries that the Green Bay Packers are dealing with in the receiving room that if they can take away the short stuff and eliminate Musgrave, it’s gonna force Jordan Love to look in a different direction, whether it’s Christian Watson, Romeo Dobs that Peter alluded to, or maybe even Josh Jacobs catching balls out of the backfield. I think Musgrave kind of becomes the odd man out. Just don’t see him being a high volume receiver or having a couple of catches it’s going to take to go over this lofty total at 28 and a half. So, I’ll fade tight end one in the new look Green Bay Packers offense. Okay, maybe not a plug plug and play when it in terms when it comes to Musgrave, especially against this Eagles defense. Who knows how he’ll perform the rest of the way, but I do want to talk about Green Bay’s ground game because they have been known to be a heavy run game team, but it hasn’t quite been that same story this year. Josh Jacobs averaging 3.8 yards per carry so far this season. What kind of success do you expect him to have here tonight, Pete? Well, when you look at their run game, you mentioned it. They want to be a runheavy team. They want to run the ball and use play action off of that. And they’ve been okay running the football. The problem is they don’t get any big plays out of their run game. And it’s more of a, you know, three, four, three, four, five, that kind of running game. And that’s who Josh Jacobs is. He’s not going to rip off those 65 yard runs. And you look at their average as a team. It’s 3.9 over the last three games. That’s disturbing for a team that wants to run the football. And when you look at the Eagles on the other side, they’ve been better against the run the last three weeks. So, it’ll be interesting to see what the Packers try and do here. Can they get the run game going? They went out and spent money on the offensive line. I mean, they brought in Banks at left guard. He’s a big physical guy in large part because they wanted to get bigger and tougher for games like this to be able to get movement at the point of attack. It so far it hasn’t really worked, but they put Morgan in at right guard. I think he’s a bigger physical guy in the run game. I think it’ll be interesting to see because they’re going to try and establish it if they can get movement in the middle. You know, Jordan Davis and Carter are two big powerful tackles. If you can get them moving, you’re going to run the ball. If you don’t get them moving, you’re not going to run the ball. But this is why they signed Banks. This is why they have Morgan playing. They made all these moves to be bigger and stronger on the offensive line. It’ll be interesting to see if they can get movement up front. I’m going to go under with Josh Jacobs rushing total at 66 and a half. Look, I think he can be a high volume guy and they’re going to give him plenty of opportunity in this game. I just haven’t seen enough from this Packers ground game. As Pete kind of alluded to, the most prolific days we’ve seen from Josh Jacobs have come against inferior run defenses. I mean, going up against the Bengals and Cowboys have inflated some of those seasonl long totals. Even against Carolina last weekend, he had a good amount of success. But I think for Jacobs to get comfortably over a number that’s been bet down a touch into the mid60s, he’s going to have to get 18, maybe even 20 carries given that 3.8 yard per carry average, Emanuel Wilson gives them a little bit more juice in the back field. And I think Jacobs can provide some value as pass catchers as Green Bay if they’re looking to utilize the play action to keep this Eagles defense honest. I just haven’t seen enough consistency from Green Bay and their ability to run the football to think Josh Jacobs can comfortably go over this total if he doesn’t have an explosive run or two that Philadelphia has done a very good job of keeping other running backs contained. I’ll take him under 66 and a half rushing yards tonight against Philly. All right, fellas. Well, we’ve had a surprising line flip. Originally, Packers were short home favorites laying one and a half. Now, it’s the Eagles who are favored on the road by that same number. Currently, the total sitting at 44 and a half. Pete, I’m coming to you. Which way you leaning tonight here in this one? Look, I think the Packers were caught looking ahead last week and before they knew what happened, they they were in a game and they couldn’t get out from underneath it and they were upset by the Panthers in large part because this game means a lot to them. And again, I was there this summer talking to them and this was a team they do not like them. They felt that that that again that kickoff cost them a chance to maybe advance in the playoffs and then they put the tush push stuff in there which adds a little more drama to it. So I think the focus is going to be there. I think they’re going to play much better and I think Micah Parson’s going to get after the quarterback tonight and create all kinds of problems. I think Love has a good day. I like the Packers at home. I will take them. I think they win this by, you know, three or four or five points. Pete, I think this is the first time in a long time you and I have actually agreed on a game pick for one of these standalone contests. I’m right there with you on the Packers. I think the number has overcorrected itself given Green Bay’s performance against Carolina last weekend. I mean, before that game kicked off, you were looking at the Packers on a look ahead number as a full field goal favorite. They lose that game. Number reopens Green Bay minus two and a half. The injuries continue to pile up. And now we’re looking at Philadelphia a short road favorite in this spot and frigid conditions where Jordan Love has shown an ability to raise his level of play much more frequently than what we’ve seen from Jaylen Herz. Desperation in this league often times leads to some herculean performances. And I think Green Bay realizes that if they lose this game, their schedule going forward significantly more difficult than what Philadelphia has in front of them, knowing that their path is pretty clear in that much maligned NFC East. I’m right there with Pete. I’ll take the team playing with their season on the line to a certain extent with Green Bay to hold serve at home and to bounce back after what was a horrific performance against Carolina last weekend. Give me the Packers plus the point and a half. We won’t need them. They win this game outright. Don’t you guys just love when we’re all on one accord. Both of us rolling with the Packers so far in this one, but you make a great point. Uh desperation might yield some kind of urgency in their play. It’ll be interesting to see how they try to bounce back from that disappointing loss against the Panthers. Fellas, good stuff right there. Thank you so much.

I think it hit the ground. But you can always count on Sundays with the NFL on CBS and Paramount Plus. It’s going to be a cold one here at Lambeau Field. We’re expecting sub30°ree temperatures. But would you want it any other way for a November night in Green Bay. Big prime time matchup. The Packers hosting an Eagle squad that beat them twice last year, including ending their season in the playoffs. We talked with quarterback Keshan Nixon, who told us, “I’m still not over that loss.” Green Bay also understands the magnitude of welcoming the defending Super Bowl champs. Micah Parsons did not mince words. He said, “Does it get any bigger than this? They’ve climbed the mountaintop. We want to prove that we are on the up and up and we can climb it as well.” In order to do so, Green Bay will have to mitigate Philly’s biggest weapon, that being Saquon Barkley, who ran for a buck 50 against the Giants two weeks ago. Surprisingly enough, that was his first 100redyard rushing game of the season after doing it 11 times last year. And for a Green Bay squad that gave up 163 on the ground to Carolina a week ago in a loss, they’ll have to do their due diligence and they feel like they’ve done so throughout the week in order to stop Barkley here at Lambeau Field. Should be a fun one. Prime time matchup Packers Eagles coming up a little after 7 central time here at Lambeau Field. I’m Cameron Zair. Back here on prime time pregame, here’s a look at the most expensive DFS players for tonight. Eagles quarterback Jaylen Herz will cost you the most with a price tag of $13,200. The most expensive Packer, running back Josh Jacobs. For more on how to set your lineup, here’s two-time fantasy analyst of the year, Jamie Eisenberg. Should be a fun game tonight between the Packers and the Eagles. Let’s give you a FanDuel lineup to play. Starting with the MVP should be Jaylen Herz. Hopefully takes advantage of AJ Brown being back. I think he’ll connect with Dallas Goddard. As you see, I have him in this lineup. Goddard’s touchdown potential has been amazing. So, we’ll talk about that in a second. But, Devonte Smith, I think Saquon Barkley makes some plays out of the backfield as well. So, love Jaylen Herz. I’m also going to play the uh Eagles defense in this game and Jake Elliott as well. I think we’ll see the Eagles defense with their new additions. Uh hopefully take advantage of a struggling passing attack for Jordan Love and get some sacks on him and maybe get some turnovers as well. Jake Elliot should kick some field goals. So, I think it’ll be a good opportunity for him. In terms of the Packers that we’re going to play in this lineup, Josh Jacobs fully past his calf injury according to Matt Laflor. So hopefully he’ll be 100%. I think they’ll need him in the passing game. I think he’s going to be their best player. Don’t really love Jordan Love. I think without Tucker Craft, there’ll be a little bit of struggle for him. However, that does open the door for Luke Musgrave. So a cheap option here in this matchup. Eagles are really good against tight ends, but hopefully the targets go to Luke Musgrave, and he does come through with some positive production. Let’s give you some props for tonight’s game for the Eagles. I’m going to take Dallas with an anytime touchdown at plus 220. He scored a touchdown in five of his last six games. So finding the end zone on a regular basis. Hopefully that continues in tonight’s matchup against the Packers. And for the Packers, let’s go. Luke Musgrade over three and a half receptions are getting that juice in our favor at plus 114. Tucker Craft has had uh over this number four times this season. Four plus catches in four times this season. So hopefully that’s where the targets go when we’re trying to replace Tucker Craft. They go to Luke Musgrave. Clearly Romeo Dobs, Christian Watson, they’re going to have to step up without Craft on the field, but Musgrave should as well. And I hope Jordan Love will lean on him and we get those four receptions to help you cash this prop. For more from Jamie, you’ll want to check out the Fantasy Football Today podcast.

Emry Hunt is all the playbook with Bryant Bmac McFaten, two twotime Super Bowl champ. And it’s time for who has the edge in tonight’s matchup between the Eagles and Packers. Starting with the quarterback position Back anywhere. You can go single quarterback, you can go depth chart. Who has the edge here tonight for you? Well, it’s only one answer for me in terms of when you look at both quarterbacks and how they’ve been performing in terms of consistency and being a playmaker. I got to go the edge to the Philadelphia Eagles. Jaylen Herz has been outstanding. I understand he’s oftent times criticized, but that’s not deserving. 15 touchdowns, one interception, completing around 70% of his passes. He’s been phenomenal in my eyes. And in this matchup, I got to take Jaylen Herz over Jordan Love. You’re off to a great start cuz I agree with you. You ball. You knew ball man. I’m going to go with the Philadelphia Eagles as well cuz Jaylen Herz tremendous quarterback and this is a lifetime achievement award for me too because he is someone that gets criminally underrated. Top three quarterback in my opinion. Now, let’s look at America’s position, the running back position. and BMAC who has the best back tonight. Of course, when you talk about name recognition, no question it’s Saquon Barkland, but we’re talking about so far this season in 2025. I’m siding with Josh Jacobs. And here’s why. He might not give you the explosion potential that Saquon Barkley can give you. But what he does is he leans on opposing defenders and they really love giving him an opportunity to showcase his skill set having 10 rushing touchdowns today. Give me Josh Jacobs over Saquon Barkley. And I’m talking about what we’ve seen so far in 2025. I’m not talking about what we’ve seen in years in years past going back to 2024. It’s about the here and now. The here and now for tonight. Give me Josh Jacobs. Now, here’s the thing. I I like where you going with that because I’m going to go with the whole back field. I’m going with Saquon Barkley, Will Shipley, and Tank Bisp. So, give me the Philadelphia Eagles for the running back position. And then we both side with the pass catchers, right? Because we saw pass catchers up there. We both like the pass catchers more. Yeah. It’s a given in terms of the pass catchers, especially with Green Bay missing their top pass catcher and tight end Tucker Craft. It’s a musical chair type of situation for them. You don’t know who you’re going to get, but when it comes to the Eagles, you got Smitty, you got AJ Brown, and don’t forget about their lead touchdown getter and Dallas got herd. Got Jan Dawson as well up front alone. The offensive line, I think I know where you’re going here, BMA. I hadn’t seen these. Where you going with the offensive line? I’m going with the Big Cheese. I’m going with the Green Bay Packers. And here’s why. When you talk about offensive line production, they’ve been very, very consistent. I just highlighted Josh Jacobs and the job he’s been able to do, especially in the red zone, falling into the end zone. A lot of that has to do with the success of their offensive line. But when you talk about protecting the passer, they’ve been one of the best offensive line units in the National Football League. Oie surrendering 11 sacks. 11 sacks in the entire National Football League. That’s top three in the league. That has to be talked about. You have to give them their praise and their flowers. I got to go with the Green Bay Packers. I’m going to disagree with you once again because I’m going depth here. Philadelphia Eagles. As many pieces that they had moving up front along that offensive line, you got to look at what they have behind those front line starters, which is why I like Philadelphia. The depth is important here. Yeah, depth. Offensive line. They have more production. This is a productionbased league. Who cares about how many defenders or offensive linemen you have? It’s about what are you doing right now in terms of what I said 11 sacks. That’s impressive. People think you wilding right now. So, let’s move to the defensive side of the football. Front seven defense. Who you have? Come on, man. I’m going with the e uh the Green Bay Packers. I’m sorry. I almost misspoke. Now, let’s keep it real. Philadelphia, they got some guys as well. They got some dudes, right? But the Green Bay Packers, courtesy of the Dallas Cowboys, they have the dude in this ball game, Micah Parsons. And don’t forget about his partner in crime, Rashawn Garry, as well. I love those two guys along with Wyatt, former first round pick in the interior. Give me the Green Bay Packers in terms of defensive front seven. I’ll agree with you wholeheartedly because they also have Carl Brooks on the defensive line and those two inside backers, man. Quay Walker as well as Edin Cooper who is a dog back there from that Aggies defense. You don’t know where they’re at. So, let’s talk about the secondary. This is tricky here, Bmac. It is. You’re a cornerback, two-time world champ. You played in the NFL many years. Who’s secondary? For me, particularly in what we’ve seen so far this season, I have to go with the Green Bay Packers. And here’s why. When you look at Xavier McKini, we’ve know he can be a ball hawking safety. The turnovers haven’t come just yet, but this could be a prime opportunity for him to show up big time along with his other teammates in the secondary. But when you talk about the numbers, defensively, they’re top 11 in the National Football League in passing yards allowed. I love that stat that shows the production and the consistency. And then when you look at their team they’re going against in terms of the Eagles secondary. How many trades have Howie made in the secondary? It don’t matter. When you making all these trades mid-season before the trade deadline, guess what you’re trying to tell all all of us? We need to improve. They got to go get some guys. And they have gotten some guys. One of their guys won’t be participated tonight in Jer Alexander. So right now when you talk about what we’ve seen thus far today tonight, give me the Green Bay Packers secondary. You see how he left out a lot of information? You’re using the front end to help out the back end. I’m going straight secondary. Give me Philadelphia. I’ll give you three names. Queen Ya Mitchell, that’s one. Number two, Cooper Dean. That’s two. Reed Blankenship. That’s three. I’ll give you even more. Rookie Andrew Makuba out of Texas. That’s four. This is a unit pound-forpound can match up against corners and receivers. So, that’s our tail of the tape tonight. Back. It’s going to be a great heavyweight fight. Coming back after this break, guess what we got? Prop it up with us because you know what happens every Monday night? We get paid. You can’t count on accurate expiration dates. Oh, that is a rookie mistake. Or the kindness of strangers, the Ravens.

Charles, Tony, I think it hit the ground. But you can always count on Sundays with the NFL on CBS and Paramount Plus. Welcome back to Prime Time Pregame as it’s time to take a dive into the prop market. We’re back joined by Brian McFat and Emry Hunt. And Philly’s passing game experienced some inconsistencies at times, but it hasn’t stopped Jaylen Herz from carrying a 15 to1 touchdown to interception ratio heading into tonight’s game. So, with that being said, B, where can you find value when it comes to Herz under center tonight? I love Jaylen Herz anytime touchdown prop. It’s set at plus 100 plus value money. I love those odds. But the reason why I love an anytime prop, it’s safe to say Nick Serani is the pettiest coach in the National Football League. And what better what better way to fulfill that pettiness than to provide a tush push opportunity for your quarterback to score a touchdown in Lambo Field against the same team that argue about taking out or banning the tush push. Give me anytime touchdown for Jaylen Herz plus money. I love it. I still feel like he is super disrespected as a passer. People always forget about that in terms of how he throws the football. They got two number ones at wide receiver and a great tight end. I like him to go over one and a half touchdown pass. I see you clock. We listen. We win here on Monday night. I see the money. I see the money. I’m I’m just trying to be a part of it. All right. Well, Saquon fellas, he finally find found his footing. His first 100 yard game coming before last week’s buy when he said 11 such games a year ago at least crossing that threshold. So, BMC, how are you viewing Saquon tonight? Well, last time we saw Saquon, it was a groin injury. They kind of took him out of that Giants game. And of course, he’s healthy. We’re here. He’s ready to go. But I’m taking his under rushing prop at 76 and a half. And here’s why. The Green Bay Packers in totality, they’ve been very, very good in terms of stopping opposing offenses rushing attack. But last week, Rico Do exploited some matchups in his favor where he had success against the ground game, ground defense for the Green Bay Packers. So usually what happens is we go back to the drawing board, Kiana. We find a way to get back to the good in in the good graces of stopping rushing attacks. So I believe defensive coordinator Charles Hafley will emphasize not allowing Saquon Barkley to get out. I don’t think he will have the success that he had against the New York Giants. So I’m taking the under in terms of his rushing prop set at 76 and a hook. You’re not going to get stung twice is what you’re telling me. Facts. But I I will say this. I know this goes counter to what you’re supposed to do in terms of like running the football in terms of playing on a cold night, having to open up that that stride. I’m going to go over his longest rush number being 16 and a half. I do feel like we’ll see him pop one. I know he’s coming off the groin, but he says 100% coming off the buy and I know it’s cold out there tonight. So, yeah, it’s a little bit tough to really open up that strider and really break out free, but we’re talking about Saquon Barkley. I think his longest rush can be over 16 and a half rush yards. Meanwhile, AJ Brown back in the fold for Philly despite his quiet start to the season, we can call it. He racked up 10 catches for 201 yards and two touchdowns in his two games before his exit. But despite those inconsistencies, he sustained solid volume. So, Emry, does that continue tonight for Brown? It does. I think you will see it over the course of a game. But in the first quarter, guys, I just need him to go over nine and a half yards cuz again, look, look at we This is This was last Monday. One first down. One first down. He’ll get two targets. He’ll get over nine and a half yards receiving in this first quarter. That’s two things could be true. Your prop hit and my prop will hit for sure. So, give me over four and a half receptions for AJ Brown. He’s healthy. His last three outers in terms of volume. We’re starting to see an uptick with the opportunities going towards AJ Brown and he loves playing against the Green Bay Packers. Remember what he did in the regular season game a year ago out in Brazil? He had a huge day against this said secondary. I think AJ Brown will get the necessary opportunities to surpass that four and a half reception. No reading on the sidelines in this one. All right, guys. On the other side of this match up, Jordan Love averaging over 280 passing yards across across his last five games against a Philly defense that sits 17th in the league against that pass. No Tucker Craft. So, BMAC, I mean, does that impact how you’re betting left tonight? No. No. When it comes to his passing yard prop, it’s set at 233 in the hook. I’m going over and here’s why. When you look at Jordan Love in Lambeau Field playing at home, he’s played four games there in Lambeau Field. Three of those opportunities he surpassed this number easily. 273 259 292. The one lonely time he did not go over 233 yards through the air was week one against the Detroit Lions. Well, they kind of dominate the Detroit Lions. You didn’t have to have a an aggressive throwing passing mentality. But every other opportunity at Lambeau Field, I gave you the numbers. He’s easily gone over this passing yard prop. So, give me over Jordan Love 233 in the hook. Your great Hall of Fame coach Dick Leau always talks about offensive coach and says what? Ego, right? They should run the football tonight, but we they’re going to throw it. And because he going to throw it, I like your number. I like him to go over 20 and a half completions as well. So, I think we’ll see him throwing more than Josh Jacobs should be running the football. Okay, the overs all around on Jordan Love. And meanwhile, Green Bay’s running game. I mean, it’s not what we’ve seen as of late, averaging 3.8 yards per carry. talking about Josh Jacobs, but facing a Philly team that’s 19th in yards per carry allowed on the ground. Emry, how are you playing them tonight? Under 17 and a half rushing yards in the first quarter. Everyone gives their inspired effort right out of the gate. That first kickoff, somebody’s going to get smacked. That first run play, somebody’s going to get smacked. Then after that, the game starts to settle down. But in the first quarter, Josh Jacobs, they’ll key in on him. So he’ll go under that rushing total just for the first quarter. I’m going anytime touchdown for Josh Jacobs. He has 10 touchdowns on the year so far. He scored in every game but one. He scored in the last five games. When you’re trying to win some money, you got to follow the positive trends. The trend is your friend. That’s a significant trend for me. I love anytime touchdown for Josh Jacobs. Five straight scores at home, by the way. So, he likes to perform in front of the Lambo fans. But, uh, guys, we talk about the Packers being without their top option being Tucker Crab, but maybe an all hands- on deck kind of situation for the Pack. So, BMAC, who are you looking at when it comes to pass catchers? I’m going with Uncle Luke. Uncle Luke, not from Two Live Crew. I’m about to say only Griffin missed that. No question. Luke Musgrave, man. I’m going to call him Uncle Luke tonight because I think he’s going to give an elderly type performance in terms of production because they need that. Tucker Craft is no longer there. Clearly, Jordan Love loves tight ends in the scenes, especially in the red zone. So, I’m going over Luke Musgrave’s receiving yard prop. It’s only 27 in the hook. 27 on hook. I think that’s more than doable in terms of him being the tight number one tight end option. And who knows, he might be the number one pass catching option in this ball game as well. So give me over 27 in the hook. Ego is also tied into this number as well because coaches want to show, hey, we’re bigger than just one guy in our passing game. We have Yeah, we lost Tucker Crab. We got Luke Musgrave as well. So him going over three and a half receptions. I think that’s a situation where both me and BMAC can cash because again, they’re going to try to feature him to show we’re bigger than just one guy. Meanwhile, I’m just trying to think of a good Uncle Luke lyric. And I don’t think Oh, I have a bunch. But I can do it right now. Let’s have a little fun before we wrap this up. Maybe a different outcome than what we sat here and saw on Sunday night. So, Monday night, how about who finds the pay dirt first? Emry, who do you have? Jaylen Hurst. Come on now. Listen, Petty is by middle name. And again, they’re going to get down there. Yeah, you know they’re going to get down there. And what’s going to happen? Tush push city. Jaylen Hurst goes across the goal line first. Plus 650. I love that because I have Jaylen Hersa anytime touchdown also. So, two things could be true and we all can make money and be smiling from ear to ear. For me, I’m going tight end centric. It’s something about these prime time games where these tight ends, even though it’s not national tight end day. Oh, by the way, y’all got too many days anyway. Can we get a DB day at some point in time? But I’m going Dallas Gddard plus 1,200. He is the lead leader in terms of passing receiving touchdowns for the Philadelphia Philadelphia Eagles plus,200. Let’s count it out. 1 2 3 4 That’s a lot though. 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12. So, you know what happens? You put If my math serves me correctly, if my math is w math and right, you put 100 down that gets you 1,200, right? That’s times 10, right? That’s what it happens, right? 100 gets you this. Follow me. All right. Follow me. Dallas got her being the first one in the end. Can we make it rain or something? We’re not done just yet. We debated the matchups. We dissected the tape. Now it’s time to lock it in. Coming up, we’re putting it all on the line. Who’s riding the birds? Back in the pack. Who’s about to cash out big? Bmack thinks it’s him. I just threw up making it rain.

Stream every match of the UEFA Women’s Champions League on Paramount Plus. It’s so loud in here. Oh man, this is awesome. That power. Oh my goodness. What a performance. My name is Francois Crutchfield, but everybody calls me Crutch. Crutch. Crutch. Crutch. Crutch. Crutch. Crutch. We got a lot of experience of grown kids that’s never ready to leave the nest. You need anything? I do have one question. We didn’t mean right now. You can’t count on Derek’s tons. Oh, Tony. I think it hit the ground. But you can always count on Sundays with the NFL on CBS and Paramount Plus. The talk is done. The takes were hot. Now it’s time to put it all on the line. One bet, one belief, one shot to call your shot before kickoff. And we begin with Todd Ferman. What’s your play for this NFC showdown? Thanks Kiana. And for my all on the line pick tonight, look, I’m not going to try and get too cute and go to that player prop market. I’m going to look at a side here and think that the market has overreacted to Green Bay losing outright last weekend as a double-digit favorite at home to the Carolina Panthers. Uh I thought that there was a little bit of opportunity and upside with Green Bay as a short home favorite. I am more than happy to back them as a short home underdog in the spot. Yes, they’re dealing with a rash of injuries, most notably at the wide receiver position, which could loom large against that talented Philadelphia secondary. But Philadelphia coming into this game off the buy. You know, maybe they’re not able to match the intensity for a Green Bay team that I think understands the importance of what’s at stake here. A little bit of playoff revenge, getting back in the win column after what we saw last weekend. And Jordan Love in these frigid conditions has typically elevated his play. I think the Green Bay defense forces a turnover or two. love raises the performance of everybody around him and they’re able to lean into shortening the game a little bit and using that home crowd to spur them to victory today. So, I’ll take the Green Bay Packers plus one and a half as a short home underdog. BMAC, it’s all about the green and gold for me tonight, my friend. How are you getting us the window with your all on the line pick? Todd, I hate that I’m on the opposite side. You love the Green Bay Packers. I love the Philadelphia Eagles. One thing I know for sure, one of us will be right and we will put some money in your pockets, viewers. But I’m taking the Eagles in terms of winning this ball game. Now, if you got the Eagles getting points, my hats off to you. Even though I don’t have a brim on, I tip it to you. But now with the line movement, Philly is now the favorites. I can care less. I love Philadelphia in this spot. And here’s why. When you look at the head coach quarterback combination with the Eagles, Nick Serriani and Jaylen Herz, they’re both 4-0 coming off a buy. They have yet to lose coming off a byee. When you look at Jaylen Hurst and in his individual numbers, completing 68% of his passes and those four outings, 276 yards, 11 touchdowns, two interceptions. Those are strong numbers. I got to follow that trend to the winning number and being able to cash in big time. Give me the Eagles covered in this game. Emory, which direction are you going? Right there with you with the Eagles. I think the biggest matchup tonight that we hadn’t really discussed is the Eagles secondary versus this receiving core. This talented but yet inconsistent receiving core of the Green Bay Packers. I think we’ll see them shut down that passing game, put the onus on them to force them to run the football, which they won’t do because of ego. So therefore, I like the Eagles to control this game on both sides of the ball and knock it out the park and win this one on the road. Kiana, take us home. You guys have talked about it all game long and I’m shocked I’m the only one that’s going to say it. I mean, it’s a layup. I’m going with the Jaylen Herz anytime touchdown. You guys called it. You said it’s tush push city. You said it’s the pettiest team in the NFL. Well, because of that against the team that tried to abolish the tush push. Why don’t you stick it to him in the end zone? Jaylen Herds getting that touchdown. And I think we roll with that one. Taking a look at the fellas picks. Todd going with the Packers plus the points. He said they’ve got revenge on the mind. Bmack on the opposite side. 4-0 off the buy for the Eagles looking to make that 5-0. Emry on the same token. And I’m rolling with the quarterback that does what he does and he’s going to keep doing it and does that tonight. Fellas, where that money at? Keep doing it. Doing it well. Well, that’s going to do it for us. But the fun that doesn’t stop here. Meet us right here. Same place. Postgame coverage. The fellas, they’re back and unfortunately so are the props. We’ll see you when the clock hits zero. Don’t hate. You can’t count on accurate expiration dates. That is a rookie mistake. Or the kindness of strangers, the Ravens.

Baldwin was second among National League rookies with a 274 batting average and hit 19 home runs with an 810 OPS. Baldwin is the 10th Braves player to win rookie of the year, which ties them with the second most in Major League Baseball history with the Yankees. The New York Giants have fired head coach Brian Dable following a two-8 start to the season. And the move comes the day after the Giants blew a 10-point lead in the final four minutes in a loss to the Chicago Bears. Now Dable exits after nearly four full seasons with a 20 40 and1 record. Offensive coordinator Mike Kfka will be the interim head coach. For more on what led to this decision, here’s CBS Sports lead NFL insider Jonathan Jones. So ultimately, you just can’t lose four of your eight games after leading by double digits in the fourth quarter. that led to Brian Dable’s undoing and of course the handling of Jackson Dart who you have to kind of protect him from himself. Dart uh in the concussion protocol.
The CBS Sports HQ crew gets you ready for the Eagles vs Packers matchup on Monday Night Football. Also, we will break down the entire Week 10 slate, bringing you the biggest storylines along with the winners and losers from the day.

Why can't I watch the game on YouTube TV
How LONG is the NFL going to allow the Eagles to tush-push??? Without calling the false start? A lot of other teams try it and they get flagged immediately 😢😢 It’s obvious now the commissioner wants the Eagles 🦅 back in the Super Bowl 😮😮😮
Tonight…Micah Parsons works for the Dallas Cowboys…Jerry Jones…you are….BRILLIANT!!!! Go Packers!!!! Go Cowboys!!!!
This game is the most boring shit game I’ve ever seen in my entire life
Is it half time?
What the Hell is going with these blacked out games. You all are just about like the Democrats and Republicans can't get a dam thing accomplished for something that we have paid for.
Never seen a more rigged game in my life. It's like both teams are trying their best to make it as low scoring as possible because everyone expected it to be at least moderately high scoring. Every single drive = run a few plays, get to the 45yd line and stall, then punt.
Love is the NEW CARR!! he's good enough to keep starting but he's no where near good enough to win anything. He will never win anything in the playoffs. He will on occasion win ONE GAME then out!
GREEN BAY fans – you have the RAIDERS old problem! you WILL spend 10 years with jordan before you figure out he's not good enough to win anything meaningful! That thing where you have to THINK and KNOW what is going on – he does NOT HAVE THAT! he's lost! ALL he had to do was take the hike – quick look! see nothing?! throw it away!! NOPE! he tries to run around and fumbles the ball. NOW the packers OWN that nightmare!! Raiders – they just suck. NOTHING will fix their problems.
As long as packers have love – they will never be a play off team!
Hats off to them for thinking they would go undefeated!! too bad they could see love and his issues!
Does this channel only play fucking commercials ….fuck this
Sweet!! Is this the game?
This is a Great recruiting game for the Georgia Bulldogs!!!
Quarterbacks total combined 130 yards four minutes left in the third. This is fucking pathetic.
