Game Preview - Eagles underdogs vs Packers at Green Bay

Philadelphia EaglesGreen Bay Packers

Early lines had the Green Bay Packers as 10-point home favorites over the visiting Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

But that was before Packers’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers went down with a shoulder injury in a loss to the Chicago Bears on Monday night. Now, the Packers are barely favored at all.

Sportsbooks such as Sportsbook that had the line up early Tuesday had the Packers around 2-point favorites. Backup QB Seneca Wallace is expected to start for the Packers, who were already ravaged by injuries to their receiving corps.

Wallace completed 11 of 19 passes for 113 yards with an interception and no touchdowns in place of Rodgers, who left the game after the Packers’ Sportsbook drive. The Bears went on to win, 27-20.

The Eagles, on the other hand, are coming off possibly their most impressive performance of the season since Week 1. QB Nick Foles tied an NFL record with seven touchdown passes in a blowout win at the Oakland Raiders.

The Packers battle the Eagles, currently with a 4-5 mark (4-5 ATS). The over under records, important for totals bettors, are 4-4 for the Packers and 6-3 for the Eagles.
