Philadelphia Eagles vs. Green Bay Packers: 5 Bold predictions for Week 4
The Green Bay Packers put their unbeaten record on the line against the dangerous Philadelphia Eagles at Lambeau on Thursday Night Football in Week 4.
Looking at the NFC landscape as they began the 2019 season, many people would’ve agreed that the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles were among the top contenders. These are two of the most talented rosters in the league, so the belief in these teams was obvious. However, that’s played out true for one team but not so much for the other as the two teams are slated to face off in Week 4 on Thursday Night Football from Lambeau Field.
The Packers have been phenomenal to start the year, entering this matchup as one of the eight remaining undefeated teams in the NFL. Even more impressive is that Aaron Rodgers and the offense have been slow to start under new head coach Matt LaFleur. It’s the defense that has been their saving grace, though.
Meanwhile, the Eagles have been a bit of a rollercoaster to this point in the year. Carson Wentz and the offense haven’t had trouble moving the ball and putting up points for the most part. However, the Philadelphia secondary has been lacking and, with injuries piling up on both sides of the ball, Doug Pederson‘s team limps into this game with a paltry 1-2 record.
This Thursday Night Football matchup could be a huge one in shaping the NFC picture. In the case of Green Bay, they’re looking to further prove they’re a contender, specifically by getting the offense on track. As for Philadelphia, the Eagles need to get trending in the right direction if they don’t want to fall too far behind in the playoff race.
Taking all of that into account, let’s take a look at his matchup, previewing the game by making five bold predictions for this high-profile Week 4 clash between the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles.
