Green Bay Packers at Philadelphia Eagles Betting Preview
27 November 2022
After suffering a tough loss to the Tennessee Titans, the Green Bay Packers are back on the road. This time, they'll face the Philadelphia Eagles, a team with a 9-1 record this season.
Having lost four of their last five games this season, the Packers are in a tough spot. They have a 4-7 record and have only won a single game on the road this season.
The Philadelphia Eagles are one of the best teams in the NFL at the moment. They've won four of their last five games and have one of the best defenses in the league.
This defense will be tested as they face Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. Although they come in as heavy favorites, we're going to go over whether they're the right pick.
Green Bay Packers: Packers' road record will play a role here
This season, the Green Bay Packers have played horribly when on the road. Not only that, they've lost four of their last five games this season. Pairing that with one of the worst offenses in the NFL, and you've got the Packers.
Even as seven-point underdogs, most don't trust in this team to cover a spread. The question is, why and could they pull off an upset here?
The reason why is that they're averaging just 18.4 points per game this season. Ranked 26th in the NFL in points per game, this isn't a team you can trust.
At the beginning of the year, they had a solid defense, but that's not the case now. They've allowed 22.1 points per game and rank 16th in the league in this category. So, they're not looking like a viable option to cover here.
Philadelphia Eagles: Eagles look to hold top spot in NFC
As the top team in the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles have a title to uphold. They're coming off a close win over the Indianapolis Colts after winning 17-16 last week.
Jalen Hurts has been the catalyst for the teams' success this season. With him under center, the Eagles have worked their way to the top of the conference. A win this weekend would keep them at that spot.
Allowing an average of 18.3 points per game, the Eagles' defense is ranked sixth overall. Pairing this top-tier defense with a strong offense is what's resulted in their record.
The Eagles' offense is putting up 26.3 points per game, ranking fourth overall. As the season continues, it's becoming apparent just how good this team is.
Green Bay Packers vs. Philadelphia Eagles Betting Pick
The Green Bay Packers have had flashes of strong performances. Not long ago, they found a way to beat the Dallas Cowboys 31-28. Although it was an impressive victory, they followed it up with a 27-17 loss to the Tennessee Titans.
The Eagles not only have a strong offense but a defense to match. They're not favored by much either, so they should be able to win by a touchdown.
Look for the Eagles to come away with a win over the Packers this week. We also expect them to cover the spread at home, where they're 4-1 against the spread this season.
