Eagles vs. Packers Prediction, MNF Picks
Let’s break down each team for this exciting NFC matchup.
Philadelphia Eagles Preview vs. Packers on MNF
- WR A.J. Brown returns to the lineup after missing Week 8 due to a hamstring injury.
- It’s been a disappointing season for RB Saquon Barkley, who rushed for a league-leading 2,005 yards in 2024; however, this year, his 519 yards rank only 16th.
- Philly's defense has regressed from last season. In 2024, they allowed an average of 18.1 points per game, the lowest in the league. This year, they're giving up 23.1 points per game, which ranks 15th.
- The defending champs are the only NFC East squad with a winning record. This is the first time Philly has had four consecutive seasons with a 6-2 record or better since the 1947-50 seasons.
- The Birds' ongoing success has placed head coach Nick Sirianni in some distinguished company — he became the fourth head coach in the Super Bowl era with a 6-2 record or better in four of his first five seasons with a single team.
Green Bay Packers Preview vs. Eagles on MNF
- The Packers were hit with a devastating blow as TE Tucker Kraft suffered a season-ending ACL injury during the 16-13 loss in Week 9 to the Panthers. Kraft leads the team in receiving yards (489) and receiving TDs (6).
- We’ll see if this impacts QB Jordan Love, who is having a phenomenal season as his 70.8% completion rate ranks fifth in the NFL, and his 107.9 passer rating is sixth.
- The Packers are successful in clutch situations, leading the league with a 49% third-down conversion rate
- The pass rush was slow to start the season, but they've improved recently, evidenced by their eighth-place ranking in sack percentage over the last three games (9.8%).
