They won their last game against the New York Giants 20-13. Tanner McKee was the starting QB and he completed 27/41 passes for 269 passing yards, 2 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. Will Shipley led the team in rushing yards with 32. Jahan Dotson led the receivers with 94 receiving yards on 7 receptions.

Packers vs Eagles Prediction

The current betting odds have the Eagles listed as a 4.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Eagles have looked good in their games this season with their 14-3 record overall which has them leading the NFC East and with the 2nd seed in the NFC. They are coming off a 20-13 win over the Giants in their last one and that was a game they rested most of their starters in to get ready for this game. Meanwhile, the Packers have looked good in their games this season with their 11-6 record overall, but that record has them in 3rd place of the NFC North and in the 7th seed in the NFC. They are coming off a loss at home to the Bears in their last one and that was a game where they started their starters but eventually pulled them from the game. They were never really in a good position in that game though, even with their starters as they were trailing for a majority of the game. They have already faced the Eagles this season in their season opener and that was a game that the Eagles won by 5 points, but that game was also in Brazil. Now the Eagles will have the home advantage here with Philadelphia being a really tough place to play. The Eagles were also a lot worse in the first month of the season, but they have been rolling since their loss to the Bucs in week 4 and have only gotten better throughout the season. The key in this game will be if Jalen Hurts plays since he is still in concussion protocol, but as long as he does play, the Packers are going to struggle like they have in a lot of the games they have played this year against teams with better records. The Eagles also have one of the best defenses in the NFL right now and the Packers lost some important players on offense last week in their loss to the Bears. The best way to place a bet here is on the Eagles to cover the spread in this game. 

Packers Eagles Prediction:  Our NFL Pick for Sunday, January 12, 2025 (4:30 pm ET start time) is Eagles 31 Packers 21.
