Packers vs Eagles
(NFL) Packers (GB) vs. Eagles (PHI),
Point Spread: 2.50 | -105.00 Packers (GB) (Away)
Result: Loss
So tempted to use this as a Money Line play, but will opt for the simply spread recommendation because we see good value here, too. A straight reputation line on the Eagles, it would seem, though we wonder why, as when last seen the Birds were a disaster down the stretch last season. Adding Saquon Barkley might prove a plus, providing he can stay healthy (knock on wood), but Jalen Hurts lost confidence as last season progressed and key departures on both sides of the line of scrimmage have many Philly fans counting their lucky stars they are in a division with as many apparent weak links (read NYG and Washington). Jordan Love, who closed last season with an 18:1 TDP-int. ratio, was much more impressive than Hurts down the stretch last season, and when last seen, the Packers looked about 2 TDs better than the Birds. Hardly sure Nick Sirianni has been able to plug those leaks in the Philly dike from the end of the last campaign. Play Packers (at Sao Paolo, brazil)
