Packers vs Eagles Prediction and Analysis for 01/12/2025
The seventh-seeded Packers, with a record of 11-6, have suffered two consecutive defeats and are currently averaging 27.1 points per game. On Sunday, their 11-game winning streak against Chicago was halted by a narrow 24-22 loss at home.
Kicker Brandon McManus successfully converted a 55-yard field goal with just 54 seconds left, granting Green Bay a one-point advantage. However, Chicago’s kicker, Cairo Santos, responded with a 51-yard field goal as time expired. Emanuel Wilson led the Packers in rushing, accumulating 73 yards and scoring a touchdown, while Green Bay outperformed the Bears with a total yardage of 367 to 224.
On the other hand, the Philadelphia Eagles achieved victory in eight out of their nine home games throughout the regular season. As the second-seeded team with a record of 14-3, the Eagles hold the second position in the NFL for rushing offense and average 27.2 points per game. In their most recent match on Sunday, Philadelphia opted to rest several starters, securing a 20-13 win against New York.
The Eagles established a 10-0 lead at halftime, bolstered by a 15-yard touchdown reception from Ainias Smith and a field goal from Jake Elliott. Tanner McKee’s second touchdown pass of the day extended Philadelphia’s lead to a commanding 17-3. Notably, RB Saquon Barkley did not participate in the game, concluding the season with an impressive total of 2,005 rushing yards.
Packers vs Eagles NFL Betting Pick
Philadelphia enters this contest with one of the top records in the NFC this season; however, uncertainty looms if Hurts is unable to participate. I am confident that Hurts will take the field in this matchup, which would position the Eagles’ offense for a significant performance. Green Bay also boasts a formidable offensive unit, suggesting that we may witness a game with a high score. Although the Packers will be without one of their premier wide receivers, I believe Love has the capability to generate enough plays to achieve a score between 20 and 24 points.
According to Bookie Pay Per Head sites, Packers WR Christian Watson sustained a torn ACL during the loss on Sunday. Therefore, it will result in his absence for the entire postseason. In the season opener, Philadelphia triumphed over Green Bay with a score of 34-29, despite committing three turnovers. It is anticipated that the Eagles will improve their ball security at home and successfully cover the spread. Therefore, I predict that Philadelphia will win and cover the spread with a final score of 27-19.
