According to oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com, the Eagles opened as 2.5-point favorites over the Packers on Sunday. The over/under total for this game is currently 46 points.
At some books, the opening line for this game was as high as Eagles –3, but the line has either stayed steady at 2.5 or has even dropped to Green Bay +2.5. This is because over 60% of public bettors favor the Packers, so there’s no reason to move the line higher.
The Packers enter this game winners of two in a row, while the Eagles have dropped their last two games and have definitely cooled since their thrilling come-from-behind win over the Giants. Michael Vick suffered a quad injury against the Vikings last Tuesday night and while he says he’s 100%, if he can’t run around and make plays happen with his feet, then Philly could be in for a long afternoon.
On the other side, the Packers employ one of the top-5 quarterbacks in the game in Aaron Rodgers. He’s played at an MVP-like level for most of the season and he has bounced back since suffering a conclusion three weeks ago in a loss to the Detroit Lions.
The Packers finished the regular season with a 10-6 record and covered in nine of their 16 games. They were 3-5 on the road, which includes a 4-4 ATS record according to latest NFL trends.
The Eagles also finished 10-6, but failed to cover in nine of their 16 games. They went 4-4 at home this season but just 3-5 against the number.
