The Philadelphia Eagles are set to face the Green Bay Packers once again, but this time it's in the playoffs and on their home turf. The Eagles have been on a roll lately, winning 12 of their last 13 games. They boast NFL's rushing champ Saquon Barkley, top receivers A. J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, and a defense that's one of the league's best. The Packers, on the other hand, have lost their last two games and are now the No. 7 seed. Their quarterback, Jordan Love, is nursing a sore arm, and their top receiver, Christian Watson, is out with an injury.
Despite their setbacks, the Packers still have a formidable running back in Josh Jacobs. The Eagles are favored by about 4. 5 points, but the Packers aren't out of the game yet. The Eagles' quarterback, Jalen Hurts, is also nursing a concussion, so there's still some uncertainty. Both teams have made changes since their first meeting, so it won't be a simple rematch. The Eagles are confident in their physicality and scheme, but the Packers have their own strengths.
