This is definitely the line, I would say that stood out the most.
Uh, the Packers, a 2.5 point home favorite, uh, in Green Bay, right?
You’d think it’d be maybe a little, a little more even home field generally worth 1, 1.5 points.
I think Lambeau is one of the bigger home field advantages that we have in the NFL.
The most difficult thing about handicapping NFL games is that you’re not just picking.
The Packers against the Eagles.
You’re picking what version of the Eagles against what version of the Packers.
And right now you have an Eagles team that had Saquan got injured, right, came off a bye.

He’s now healthier.
AJ Brown missed a game.
He’s now healthier.
You have all those trade deadline acquisitions versus a Packers team that just lost a game they shouldn’t have and really probably can.
Afford to if they want the 1 seed in the NFC against the Panthers and lose arguably their 2nd best player, uh, on offense in Tucker Kraft.
So we don’t actually know this Packers team without him as an offensive weapon.
We haven’t seen it yet.
They have all these offensive weapons, which is great.
Matthew Golden hasn’t done that much.
He’s gonna need to step up, but what does this offense look like?
Without Tucker Kraft, who really in that Steelers game was the reason, especially in the second half, they pulled away there.

So, what does Jordan Love look like after not playing that well, uh, the previous game.
And then for the Eagles, they got the Lions after this.
So this is two big games in a row, NFC number 1 seed, kind of heavyweights going at it.
And the Packers have started slow.
The last 3 games, they’ve scored 6 points, 7 points, 6 points in the first half.
They’ve gone over their first half total, 2 out of the 8 games so far.
So they can’t start slow against this Eagles team.
I like the Eagles in this game.
I think the Eagles are a great teaser leg as well from +2.5 to 8.5.
Should be an amazing game though, can’t wait to watch.
