The second seed Philadelphia Eagles are strong favorites to overcome the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night in an intriguing watching NFC Wild Card showdown. The Eagles finished the regular season with a superb 14-3 record, including eight wins from their nine home games. Key to that fantastic record has been the form of Pro Bowl RB Saquon Barkley, with the former Giants man leading the league in both yards (2,005) and carries (345). Stopping Barkley and co will be a tall order for a Packers side on a two game losing streak. Green Bay finished the regular season with an 11-6 overall record, but only two of their victories came against teams who qualified for the playoffs.

Philadelphia Eagles - Green Bay Packers: Form Analysis

The Eagles come into this game in excellent form. They won 12 of their last 13 regular season games, with their only loss coming against the Washington Commanders in Week 16. Aside from Barkley, the Eagles offense has leaned heavily on star wideouts AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith, whilst the duel threat of QB Jalen Hurts has continued to be a valuable weapon. Defensively, the Eagles are arguably the strongest team in the playoffs. Zach Braun and Jalen Carter have both had Pro Bowl caliber seasons, whilst rookie cornerbacks Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell have excelled in their first year. 

Green Bay's run to the postseason was fueled by a midseason run of seven wins in eight games. QB Jordan Love was in inspired form during that run, but a slight dip in form during the final weeks of the campaign means the Packers come into the playoffs with a few offensive concerns. Meanwhile, the Green Bay defense has been a top ten unit all season, with safety Xavier McKinney and defensive end Rashan Gary the two standouts. 

Philadelphia Eagles & Green Bay Packers Squad Analysis

Wide receiver AJ Brown and QB Jalen Hurts were both limited in practice for the Eagles this week, but both are expected to be fully fit on Sunday. The same cannot be said for edge rusher Brandon Graham and punt returner Britain Covey, who both remain on injured reserve. In Covey's absence, rookie cornerback Cooper DeJean is expected to be on punt return duties. 

The big injury news coming out of Green Bay this week is that WR Christian Watson is out of the playoffs following a torn ACL suffered in the Week 18 loss to the Bears. On the plus side, fellow receiver Romeo Doubs has returned to practice and is expected to suit up on Sunday. QB Jordan Love was limited at practice on Wednesday after a minor elbow knock in the Bears game, but he is confident of being fully fit to take on the Eagles. 

Philadelphia Eagles - Green Bay Packers Key Points

  1. The Eagles have won their last 7 home games
  2. Green Bay have lost 5 of their 7 games against playoff teams this season
  3. Philadelphia have won 12 of their last 13 games
  4. Philly have won their last 2 games agisnt the Packers

Our Philadelphia Eagles vs Green Bay Packers Prediction

It's hard to make a case for Green Bay in this one. The Eagles are superior on both sides of the ball, and are sure to have a partisan crowd backing them all that way, so a home win looks to be the safe bet. We also think there is excellent value in backing QB Jalen Hurts to score the first touchdown. The Eagles' 'Tush Push' play has given Hurts over ten rushing TDs this season and we can see them using it to great effect once again on Sunday.  Our prediction for Philadelphia Eagles vs Green Bay Packers is: Eagles to win and Jalen Hurts to score the first touchdown.
