Before Betting on Packers vs. Eagles
The Packers showed growth last year. With Love as the quarterback, they advanced to the playoffs and won there before losing to the 49ers in the NFC Divisional Game. Green Bay has an excellent receiving core, with Watson, Dubs, Reed, and others, and that will be very important in this match because the Eagles aren’t very good at pass defense.
This team is very talented and has a year or two in which they can improve and reach its peak. After 3-6 last year, they went on to win six of the final eight matches during the regular season. Now that’s progress.
On the other side are the Eagles, the team that froze in the most critical moment last year, losing in the first round of the playoffs in moments when they looked pretty good and capable of going far into the postseason. The attacking core is the same, with QB Hurts, TE Brown, and WR Smith, with the addition of former Pro Bowl RB Saquon Barkley, who might turn out to be one of the best free agency moves this year.
The defense is boosted by DE Bryce Huff, who came from the Jets, but overall, the Eagles are still vulnerable when meeting teams with dominant passers and guys who are able to strike them down the field.
Packers vs. Eagles Head to Head
The 2022 season was the last time the Packers and the Eagles clashed. Philly hosted an interesting and exciting matchup in which the Eagles prevailed, beating the Packs 40-33.

| Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Packers | +125 | +3 | 48.5 |

The Packs are our pick here. Why? Love has numerous targets, and as we stated before, Philly isn’t that good at defending pass. Also, even though they are favorites, this game isn’t in the City of Brotherly Love, don’t forget, it’s in Sao Paolo. To make this one even safer, we’re taking the Packs with the spread.
