Free Picks: Green Bay Packers vs Philadelphia Eagles

Aaron Rodgers and his wideout assassin, Davante Adams, will be welcoming the struggling Philadelphia Eagles to Lambeau Field in Week 13.  The Packers are one of the top dogs in the NFC, while the Eagles are fighting to dominate the NFL’s worst division. 888sport has the cheeseheads as -9.0 home favourites (-110).

Aaron Rodgers isn’t fair.

Last week against the Chicago Bears, he completed 21 out of his 29 pass attempts and threw four touchdowns.  On the season, he’s thrown for 33 touchdowns and just four interceptions.  He’s playing at an MVP level, and bar perhaps only Patrick Mahomes, he is the best quarterback in the league and one of the most clutch.

Meanwhile, the Eagles’ offense has been suffering all season due to abysmal quarterback play from Carson Wentz.  Their defense has performed well, though, as they currently rank eighth in passing yards per game allowed.  They’ll need their defense to step up to contain Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams, who has scored 11 touchdowns in 2020, second only to Tyreek Hill of the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Eagles have one of the better rushing offenses in the game, as they’re averaging 116.5 yards on the ground, but struggled to get Miles Sanders going against the Seattle Seahawks last week, where he rushed just six times for 15 yards.  Green Bay’s rushing defense is not as good as Seattle’s is, so if the Eagles can establish the run early on, they may stand a chance against the NFC North juggernauts.

888sport has the OVER/UNDER set at 47 (-110), and the OVER has cashed in just three of their last ten meetings.  With Wentz and the run game struggling as of late, it’ll be difficult for the Eagles to hang with the Packers, who rank among the best offensive teams in NFL.

Smash the UNDER here.

• Philadelphia is 4-8 ATS in their last 12 games
• The UNDER has cashed in 5 of Philadelphia’s last 5 games
• Green Bay is 14-4 ATS in their last 18 games
