The Green Bay Packers will get the New York Giants on a short week, after they play against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. As far as timing goes, though, the Packers might end up catching the Giants at the right time.

Not only are the Giants coming off four straight losses following their Thursday Night Football win over the Eagles, but they might also be down their starting quarterback in first-round rookie Jaxson Dart. In the team’s loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Dart left the game with a concussion.

In relief of Dart, who was 19...

Since the Baltimore Ravens traded Jaire Alexander to the Philadelphia Eagles, there’s been debate about whether or not he’ll suit up against his former team, the Green Bay Packers, on Monday Night Football. Today, the Eagles finally made the call, officially ruling Alexander out against Green Bay.

Officially, the decision to hold Alexander out has been listed as a knee injury/coach’s decision. Alexander was traded on November 1st, which gave him just a little over a week to get ready for this head-to-head. Last week, the Eagles were on their bye, so this was his first opportunity to wear an...

ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys had interesting conditions added to the Micah Parsons trade that were not initially revealed. According to Schefter, the Packers will have to give up their 2028 first-round pick if Parsons is traded to an NFC East team within the next year, apparently an effort to keep Parsons away from the Philadelphia Eagles.

Prior reports stated that the Eagles attempted to trade for Parsons, which the Cowboys refused to do because they were in the same division. For added context, Parsons was born and raised in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania...

We already covered in my last article why the final box score hides the defense’s performance. The run defense, in key situations, gave up too many big runs. Another less talked about issue in Week 9 was that Micah Parsons only generated one pressure.

In fact, the Packers defense only generated pressure on Bryce Young on 8 of 24 snaps, a respectable 33.3%, with only one sack. Parsons’s one pressure was the lowest he’s had this season. The Panthers made him a non-factor.

Most of the pressures came in the form of hurries, with only one quarterback hit. And Rashan...

The final score on Sunday, a game in which the Green Bay Packers lost 16-13 in the final seconds, hides the struggles the Green Bay defense had in containing the Carolina Panthers’ running game, including on the final explosive play of the game just before the game-winning field goal. The Panthers averaged 4.96 yards per carry by the end of the game if we remove the quarterback scramble yardage.

At nearly five yards a pop, the defense struggled to contain the Panthers’ ground attack at various stages in the game.

The first big run the Packers gave up was a...

The NFL is back in Europe this week, giving football fans games to watch from early in the morning until late in the evening on this fine Sunday. It all gets underway with a game in Berlin, Germany as the Atlanta Falcons and Indianapolis Colts square off in the second-to-last Europe game of the season.

After a little morning football action, the meat of today’s schedule gets underway at 12 noon Central with seven games, with a pair of NFC North teams in action in the early time slot. The Chicago Bears host the New York Giants, while Minnesota welcomes...

If you were hoping to catch the Philadelphia Eagles at less than full force, I have some bad news for you. On Saturday, in the team’s final injury report, the Eagles listed both running back Saquon Barkley and receiver A.J. Brown as full goes for Monday’s game against the Green Bay Packers.

The only players who were given injury designations by the Eagles were center Cam Jurgens (knee, out), backup cornerback Jakorian Bennett (pectoral, questionable), reserve offensive lineman Willie Lampkin (knee/ankle, questionable) and pass-rusher Nolan Smith (triceps, questionable). Lampkin technically isn’t even a member of the 53-man roster, as he...

This week is a big one. The Green Bay Packers have a highly leveraged roster on the salary cap, meaning that their best opportunity to win the Super Bowl over the next five-ish seasons is right now. Despite that, the team has proven to be inconsistent thus far, with a loss on Monday against the Philadelphia Eagles giving the Packers the prospect of winning just 5 games in the first 10 weeks of the season.

If Green Bay drops this one, against the reigning Super Bowl champions, anything is possible. Right now, the Packers are technically favorites in this matchup...

It’s clear that the vibes are bad after the Green Bay Packers’ week 9 loss to the Carolina Panthers, but now we have some numbers to illustrate just how down fans are about the team this week.

The Packers lost as 13.5-point favorites on Sunday, their biggest upset loss since at least the NFL-AFL merger. In that loss, tight end Tucker Kraft tore his ACL and will be out for the season. Between those two factors and the ongoing inconsistency of the Packers’ offense, fans are feeling desperate, and it showed up in this week’s SB Nation Reacts survey.

Prior...

It’s honestly a bit remarkable that the Green Bay Packers are still favored this week. Home-field advantage remains a real factor for sportsbooks in setting lines, but after the team’s awful home loss to the Carolina Panthers last Sunday, it feels strange that they would be favored against the #1 team in the NFC under any circumstances.

Still, that’s the case for Monday night’s game, as the Packers remain 2.5-point favorites despite recent events.

To be fair, the Eagles have not been the juggernaut that they were in the recent past or in last year’s playoff run. They do sit...

Unlike the Carolina Panthers, the Philadelphia Eagles have a long and storied history, and Packers history has intertwined with that of the Eagles on many occasions. The Packers actually met the Eagles during the latter’s inaugural season, posting a 10-0 win in Philadelphia in 1933. The Eagles, in turn, beat the Packers in the 1960 NFL Championship game, after which Vince Lombardi vowed that his team would never lose another championship game. They didn’t.

But what are the best performances the Packers have posted against the Eagles? I’m glad you asked. Here are some of the best games Packers players...

Based on ESPN’s projections, there’s at least a 75 percent chance that the top seven teams in college football will make the college football playoff, leaving just five spots up for grabs for the other 130-ish teams at the FBS level. Saturday’s action should decide a lot of these swings.

Also, if you haven’t checked in yet, YouTube TV and Disney’s beef hasn’t ended yet, which means that you’ll need to go through alternative sources to watch those games this weekend. ESPN, a Disney property, also has the Philadelphia Eagles-Green Bay Packers game on Monday night.

With that being said,...
