Game Preview
The Philadelphia Eagles are set to host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday in an NFC wild-card showdown, with the Eagles favored by 5.5 points and the total set at 46.0. This marks another chapter in their postseason history, with the Packers last taking a playoff win in Philly en route to their Super Bowl XLV victory, while the Eagles’ iconic win over Vince Lombardi’s Packers in 1960 remains a cherished moment in their franchise history.
Overview and Key Storylines
Philadelphia (14-3) comes into the postseason as the No. 2 seed, aiming to kick off their title run with a win after dominating defensively all season. Meanwhile, Green Bay (11-6) has clawed its way back into contention and will rely on quarterback Jordan Love to deliver under pressure after his solid regular season campaign.
In their season opener in Brazil, the Eagles edged out the Packers 34-29 thanks to a standout performance from NFL rushing leader Saquon Barkley, who notched 109 rushing yards and three total touchdowns. Jalen Hurts added 278 passing yards, two TDs, and two interceptions. On the other side, Jordan Love tallied 260 passing yards with two touchdowns and one pick.
Quarterback Status Update
Jalen Hurts has cleared concussion protocol after suffering a Week 16 injury and will be ready to start. Head coach Nick Sirianni expressed confidence in Hurts shaking off any rust:
“This is why you practice—so you’re ready when the stakes are high,” Sirianni said.
Love, who sustained a minor elbow injury in Week 18, was also cleared after practicing fully throughout the week. He’ll need to replicate his playoff poise from last season when he led Green Bay to a wild-card victory over Dallas.
Key Matchups to Watch
Saquon Barkley vs. Green Bay Defense: Barkley’s three-touchdown performance in their last meeting highlighted his versatility. Expect the Eagles to lean heavily on him again.
A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith vs. Packers Secondary: Brown’s deep-play potential (119 yards and a TD in Week 1) could be crucial, though he returns from a knee issue. Smith is expected to play despite missing recent practice.
Jayden Reed’s Versatility: Green Bay’s Reed posted 171 total yards in their earlier matchup and could be a game-changer if the Eagles’ top-ranked defense keys too much on Doubs.
Defensive Strengths and Weaknesses
Philadelphia boasts the league’s No. 1 total defense (278.4 yards allowed per game) and ranks second in points allowed (17.8 per game). Their ability to force turnovers and pressure opposing quarterbacks will be pivotal. Green Bay’s defense isn’t far behind, ranking sixth overall (315.6 yards allowed) and sporting a +12 turnover margin, which tied for third in the NFL.
However, injuries may impact Green Bay’s defensive efforts, as standout linebacker Quay Walker (ankle) is questionable after missing three games. Safety Zayne Anderson (concussion) has been ruled out, further depleting their depth.
Betting Predictions and Props
Spread Prediction (-5.5): The Eagles’ balanced attack and dominant defense make them the safer pick to cover, especially at home.
Total Prediction (46.0): Both teams have potent offenses, but with defenses that excel at limiting points, this game could stay under the total.
Player Props to Consider:
Jalen Hurts Over 1.5 Passing TDs: Hurts will likely be more pass-heavy to avoid excessive scrambling post-injury.
Saquon Barkley Anytime TD Scorer: Barkley’s red-zone usage and his history against Green Bay make this a strong play.
Jayden Reed Over 50.5 Receiving Yards: Reed’s versatility could give him plenty of looks, especially if Philadelphia’s defense focuses on Doubs.
Prediction
The Eagles’ defensive pressure and offensive firepower should be enough to control the game, covering the spread and keeping the total under. Green Bay’s injury concerns and lack of consistency against elite defenses could make this a long night for Love and company.
