The Eagles are now favored over the Packers in Green Bay
A lot of Green Bay Packers fans, who watched their team struggle against the Carolina Panthers in Week 9, were surprised when the Packers were listed as favorites against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. Green Bay opened up as 2.5-point favorites at home, dropping quickly to 1.5-point favorites, but that 1.5-point line held steady […]
Packers activate LB Kristian Welch from practice squad for Eagles game
The Green Bay Packers made just a single elevation from their practice squad to the active gameday roster in time for Monday night’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Coming up for the gameday roster is linebacker Kristian Welch, who has bounced back and forth from the practice squad to the 53 a few times this […]
Third down numbers help explain why Packers are favored over Eagles
If the Green Bay Packers defeat the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football this evening, the two teams’ performances on third downs should be a major factor. In fact, those numbers are likely a significant reason why the Packers remain favored coming into this game, even coming off a devastating upset loss to the Carolina […]

Green Bay Packers News: Run game holds the key against Eagles
The Green Bay Packers face a massive test this evening on Monday Night Football, when the Philadelphia Eagles come into Lambeau Field for a critical NFC matchup.

Are your friends rowdy? Well then get ready, because they’re probably coming over tonight. The Green Bay Packers take the field on Monday Night Football, hosting the Philadelphia Eagles in a big measuring-stick game for both of these NFC teams who have designs on Super Bowl contention. The Eagles of course knocked the Packers out […]
NFC Playoff Picture: Packers have a lot to lose on Monday
It’s at the point of the season where the talk about playoff leverage matters a lot. After all, the majority of the teams that advance to the Super Bowl are the top seeds in their conference. This number has held consistent over fifty years of play, even with the changes to the NFL’s playoff format. […]
Giants QB Jaxson Dart leaves Week 10 with concussion
The Green Bay Packers will get the New York Giants on a short week, after they play against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. As far as timing goes, though, the Packers might end up catching the Giants at the right time. Not only are the Giants coming off four straight losses following their […]
Jaire Alexander won’t play against the Packers on Monday
Since the Baltimore Ravens traded Jaire Alexander to the Philadelphia Eagles, there’s been debate about whether or not he’ll suit up against his former team, the Green Bay Packers, on Monday Night Football. Today, the Eagles finally made the call, officially ruling Alexander out against Green Bay. Officially, the decision to hold Alexander out has […]
Packers’, Cowboys’ top picks in 2028 are tied up in the Micah Parsons trade
ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys had interesting conditions added to the Micah Parsons trade that were not initially revealed. According to Schefter, the Packers will have to give up their 2028 first-round pick if Parsons is traded to an NFC East team within the next year, apparently […]
How Micah Parsons was held to 1 single pressure
We already covered in my last article why the final box score hides the defense’s performance. The run defense, in key situations, gave up too many big runs. Another less talked about issue in Week 9 was that Micah Parsons only generated one pressure. In fact, the Packers defense only generated pressure on Bryce Young […]
The Packers have failed in situational run defense
The final score on Sunday, a game in which the Green Bay Packers lost 16-13 in the final seconds, hides the struggles the Green Bay defense had in containing the Carolina Panthers’ running game, including on the final explosive play of the game just before the game-winning field goal. The Panthers averaged 4.96 yards per […]
NFL Week 10 Sunday Schedule & Gameday Thread
The NFL is back in Europe this week, giving football fans games to watch from early in the morning until late in the evening on this fine Sunday. It all gets underway with a game in Berlin, Germany as the Atlanta Falcons and Indianapolis Colts square off in the second-to-last Europe game of the season. […]
Packers-Eagles final injury report: Green Bay’s WR room is a mess
If you were hoping to catch the Philadelphia Eagles at less than full force, I have some bad news for you. On Saturday, in the team’s final injury report, the Eagles listed both running back Saquon Barkley and receiver A.J. Brown as full goes for Monday’s game against the Green Bay Packers. The only players […]
5 Questions With the Enemy: Eagles Preview
This week is a big one. The Green Bay Packers have a highly leveraged roster on the salary cap, meaning that their best opportunity to win the Super Bowl over the next five-ish seasons is right now. Despite that, the team has proven to be inconsistent thus far, with a loss on Monday against the […]
Packers fans’ confidence plummets after brutal upset loss to Panthers
It’s clear that the vibes are bad after the Green Bay Packers’ week 9 loss to the Carolina Panthers, but now we have some numbers to illustrate just how down fans are about the team this week. The Packers lost as 13.5-point favorites on Sunday, their biggest upset loss since at least the NFL-AFL merger. […]
Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams among the best Packers performers against the Philadelphia Eagles
Unlike the Carolina Panthers, the Philadelphia Eagles have a long and storied history, and Packers history has intertwined with that of the Eagles on many occasions. The Packers actually met the Eagles during the latter’s inaugural season, posting a 10-0 win in Philadelphia in 1933. The Eagles, in turn, beat the Packers in the 1960 […]
Week 10 NFL Picks: Why are Packers still favored over Eagles?
It’s honestly a bit remarkable that the Green Bay Packers are still favored this week. Home-field advantage remains a real factor for sportsbooks in setting lines, but after the team’s awful home loss to the Carolina Panthers last Sunday, it feels strange that they would be favored against the #1 team in the NFC under […]
Week 11 College Football Gameday Thread
Based on ESPN’s projections, there’s at least a 75 percent chance that the top seven teams in college football will make the college football playoff, leaving just five spots up for grabs for the other 130-ish teams at the FBS level. Saturday’s action should decide a lot of these swings. Also, if you haven’t checked […]
Green Bay’s run game needs to get going against the Eagles
If there was ever a time for the Green Bay Packers’ run game to figure itself out, it’s on Monday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles. In a game that will likely have major NFC playoff seeding implications, the Packers come in banged up, most notably on the heels of Tucker Kraft’s season-ending ACL injury […]
Bisaccia: Brandon McManus will kick for the Packers on Monday
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said earlier this week that the Packers would open up a kicking competition between Brandon McManus and Lucas Havrisik, but special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia apparently never got the memo. LaFleur, who boasted that he didn’t talk to kickers a few weeks ago, may have spoken out of […]
Packers-Eagles Injury Report: Green Bay WRs take another blow
The Green Bay Packers’ receiver room is an absolute mess going into their game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Beyond Jayden Reed (collarbone) being on injured reserve, first-round rookie receiver Matthew Golden (hip), who dropped out against the Carolina Panthers, went from a limited participant on Thursday’s practice to a complete non-participant in Friday’s practice with […]
NFL Power Rankings Week 10: Believing in Seattle
I don’t think you should really ever wager on sports, and believe me, this is not betting advice. If you follow any betting advice from me, you’ll get exactly what you deserve. But here at the mid-ish point of the NFL season, I think there are a few undervalued teams hanging around out there. First, […]
Success for the Packers offense will require something different
After losing Tucker Kraft to a season ending ACL tear, the Green Bay Packers’ offensive infrastructure is in a pretty dark place. Not the talent level, as Green Bay still has plenty of talented players, headlined by quarterback Jordan Love who is second in EPA-per-dropback this season. The issue is not talent, but how the […]
How the Packers can attack the Eagles’ defense
I probably don’t need to tell you that the Green Bay Packers have a big game against the Philadelphia Eagles this Monday night. As I try to do every week, I took a look at how the Packers could attack this Eagles defense. I tend to start with numbers, then watch some film after that. […]
