Green Bay vs Philadelphia – Online NFL Odds

Michael Vick has led a dramatic turnaround, not just in his personal life but also on the football betting field. Since taking the reins in Philadelphia, he has the Eagles putting up obscene offensive numbers and it allowed them to cruise to an NFC East title.

They’ll host the Green Bay Packers, who were widely expected to win the NFC but early season injuries derailed their threats of league domination. Checking the online NFL odds, the Eagles are small favorites but 69% of bettors are backing the dogs in this fight.

The online NFL odds makers have set the Eagles as -3-point favorites but heavy action on the Packers means it will cost you -125 to take the Packers at +3. A straight up bet on the Packers will pay bettors +120 on the moneyline. The game total is set at 46½ points.

Michael Vick’s improvement this season has come through his dedication to re-learning how to play quarterback. Back when he was with the Falcons, he failed to remain in the pocket and he would look to beat teams with his athleticism rather than his arm.

In Philly, he remains in the pocket more and with the extensive offensive weapons at his disposal, he can make short passes and let his playmakers make plays.

The big concern for the Eagles is their 4-4 home record, which is the worst of any team in the NFL playoffs. To be fair, Kevin Kolb played the majority of their four losses. Kolb won’t be playing Sunday but unfortunately for the Eagles, their defense will be on the field Sunday.

The Eagles defense is allowing a 21st best 23.6 points per game.

The Packers haven’t been great away from Lambeau Field but they have the horses to get this done. The Bears and the Vikings may have exposed a chink in the Eagles’ offense that the Packers should tear apart.

The Vikings and the Bears used outside blitzes to contain Vick, it threw him off his game and lost the game for the Eagles.

The Packers defense held opponents to a second best 15 points per game this season. When the offense lost a ton of starters, the defense picked them up.

Offensively, Aaron Rodgers and Greg Jennings have made up for the lack of a consistent rushing attack. Rodgers has thrown 3922 yards and 28 TDs this season, Jennings has grabbed 76 catches for 1265 yards and 12 TDs.

I like the Packers to upset the Eagles this weekend but always check the online NFL odds to make sure you’re getting the best value with your bet.
