Packers Enjoying 3-0 Start
Green Bay turned in its best offensive performance so far this season last weekend, posting a decisive 27-16 victory over the visiting Denver Broncos as 7-point home chalk to improve their record to a perfect 3-0 going into Thursday night’s matchup with the Eagles at Lambeau Field.

With Rodgers looking to be in good health after enduring an array of injuries over the past two season, the Packers have emerged as attractive +150 favorites to finish atop the NFC North for the first time in three years.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been in steady form during the Packers’ first 3-0 start since 2015. The 35-year-old has averaged over 215 passing yards per game so far this season, and has tossed four touchdown passes while avoiding getting intercepted.
With Rodgers looking to be in good health after enduring an array of injuries over the past two season, the Packers have emerged as attractive +150 favorites to finish atop the NFC North for the first time in three years, and also closely trail the favorites as a +1100 wager on the Super Bowl odds at sportsbooks.
Stout Green Bay Defense Paying Dividends
The Packers have also been getting things done on defense, limiting opponents to just 11.66 points per game through their first three outings. That marks a dramatic turnaround for the Packers after allowing 31 points per game over their final three outings last season. Linebacker Blake Martinez has emerged as the leader of Green Bay’s stingy defense. The 25-year-old out of Stanford sits among the league leaders with 32 total tackles, and has racked up 18 solo tackles over the Packers’ two home contests.

Drafted 21st overall by Green Bay this season, safety Darnell Savage has also been a big contributor, recording 14 tackles, and climbing to the top of the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year odds as a +350 favorite.
Packers Look to Reestablish Home Dominance
With both the offense and defense producing steady results, the Packers look poised to establish just their second three-game SU win streak on home turf since September 2017. Once a dominating force when playing at Lambeau Field, Green Bay has struggled to maintain consistency in home contests over the past two seasons.

5. New Orleans (55-25-0)#NFL100— Brian Jones (@BrianJones_93) July 19, 2019
But with victories in their first two home dates this season, the Packers are now 3-2 SU and ATS in their past five outings, and have held opponents to 20 or fewer points in five of their past six, sparking a 4-2 run for the “Under” in totals betting.
Eagles Search for Answers Following Second Straight Loss
The Eagles limp into Green Bay looking for answers after dropping a 27-24 decision to the visiting Detroit Lions last weekend as 4-point chalk to fall to 1-2 on the season. Perched as heavy -140 favorites to win the NFC East during the preseason, the Eagles have tumbled to +180 during their shaky start, well back of undefeated Dallas, which has vaulted to -200 favorites in the NFL futures at sportsbooks.

Slow Starts Proving Costly
While the Philadelphia offense has averaged a respectable 25.33 points per game so far this season, the Eagles have found themselves falling behind early in each of their two straight losses. The Eagles have tallied just two total first-half touchdowns to date, and just 23 total points before halftime in their three outings. That trend has helped dump Philadelphia to 3-point first-half underdogs on the Philadelphia Eagles vs Green Bay Packers odds.

Further complicating matters is Philadelphia’s uninspiring record in past contests at Lambeau Field. While the Eagles have posted wins in two of their past four visits to Green Bay, they have traditionally struggled to rack up points, averaging just 15.6 points per game in seven road dates with the Packers since 1996. However, the Eagles currently enjoy a four-game SU win streak on Thursday Night Football, and are 4-2 SU in six all-time road appearances in Thursday night prime time.
Picks: Packers -4.0 (-109), Packers -3 first half (-114), Eagles UNDER 20.5 points (-110)
