Green Bay Packers (2-1 Preseason) vs. Philadelphia Eagles (2-1 Preseason)
The Green Bay Packers did not struggle in the rushing and receiving departments in the preseason with Emanuel Wilson even maintaining an efficient run where he recorded an average of 4.3 yards per run and even made it into the end zone. Earning 83 yards on 9 receptions is Malik heath who have made a contribution on the passing game. These performances are pivotal as they gear up for their Ravens vs. Chiefs faceoff, where similar execution will be crucial.
On the other hand, the Philadelphia Eagles also have their strengths and for them Tyrion Davis-Price leads the rushing with 5.4 yards average per carry without a touchdown. Joseph Ngata, however, really focused in terms of his receptions with only five, has gained 88 yards from them showing that he made every catch count. This capability will be essential in their Cardinals vs. Broncos matchup, highlighting the need for precision and maximizing opportunities.
Sean Clifford QB vs. Tanner McKee QB
Sean Clifford of the Packers is having a rather rough preseason and has a passive passer rating of 62.8 indicating unfruitful efforts at poise. He managed, nevertheless, to complete 207 passing yards and throw one touchdown in three games. Especially if Sean Clifford is to play against the Eagles’ defense, he will need to learn to handle pressure, avoid being sacked, and throw more accurately.
Tanner McKee of the Eagles has managed to control themselves to a tad more degree than McKee, completing a 67.1 pass rating with 294 passing yards. Great improvements are needed particularly in this area in which McKee as well as Clifford have not managed to throw any touchdowns this preseason. Furthermore, this battle is very important for the outcome in the game as each quarterback can turn around the weight of the game in their team’s favor.
NFL Odds/Point Spread: Philadelphia Eagles -1.5 -110, Total Odds: 48.5
The betting odds slightly favor the Eagles at -1.5, reflecting their slight edge in quarterback efficiency and home-field advantage. The total over/under set at 48.5 points suggests expectations of a moderately high-scoring game, aligning with the preseason performances seen from both teams.
Green Bay Packers Betting Trends
Green Bay’s impressive 4-1 ATS in their last five games indicates a strong ability to cover the spread, bolstered by their record of going OVER in 7 of their last 9 games. This trend suggests their games tend to be high-scoring, which might play into the hands of over bettors.
Philadelphia Eagles Betting Trends
Conversely, the Eagles have struggled recently, going 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games, which could be a warning sign for their backers. Moreover, their tendency to stay UNDER in 4 of their last 6 games could challenge the over/under line set for this matchup.
Green Bay Packers vs. Philadelphia Eagles 9/6/24 Betting Picks
However, considering the analysis and recent trends, the Packers may cover the spread, particularly because the Eagles struggled with this in their recent games. This matchup looks poised to be close, with the possibility of the result being decided by a small margin.
Exploring options for the value punters, it may be useful to take the Packers at +1.5 margin as their recent form puts them in a good position to cover the spread. There is also the total going OVER 48.5, which is quite tempting, given the scoring propensity of both teams. As far as sports matchup handicapping is concerned, it is reasonable to expect a closely contested encounter with a slight edge for the Packers.
