It'll be interesting to see which GB defense shows up.
I don't know the Eagles from a hole in the wall and hope to hell we can beat a Sanchez-led team but am nervous.
Too many close games against subpar teams this year.

Way before the season started I had this marked as an L and I'm going to have to stick with that.

Packers 24
Eagles 38

Eagles Special Teams will be the difference here. You can expect the Packers sit activate ST players which will hurt their Offense and Defense and the Eagles will take advantage of it.
We'll also see ILB version Clay Matthews III get schooled by a HC who knows how to adjust to different schemes.

I feel like this one might become a track meet. I just hope that we're the ones leading, in that case. That way, you can put some pressure on Sanchez and force him to make mistakes.

Few of the most important things for me are these:

- I feel like this one might become a track meet. Both are up tempo offences. I just hope that we're the ones leading, in that case. That way, you can put some pressure on Sanchez and force him to make mistakes. He was quite decent this week, but I'm not convinced he'll look that good when he has to shoulder the load.

- Connor Barwin vs Aaron Rodgers. Barwin for 3.5 sacks against the Panthers and has 10.5 on the season. While that's rather impressive, it's not what I'm afraid of most. A lot of his sacks, especially last night, came on QB spy plays. If he manages to keep Rodgers in the pocket, he's going to be a lot less effective than he usually is. I just hope that we can block him and/or Rodgers can get away in those situations.

- Packers defense vs Brent Celek. We've been notoriously bad against TEs. Sanchez likes throwing to Celek, even in coverage. If we can get good coverage here, there'll be some opportunities for interceptions at best or a lot of incompletions at worst.

- Run defence vs McCoy. Our run defence has been awful against everyone but Forté. I'm hopeful that the switch from Matthews to the middle will keep working the way it did last week, but keeping containment against a team like the Eagles might be a bit harder than against the Bears.

I'm fairly certain our offense can keep up, as long as our defense makes just a few stops. Chip Kelly might be an offensive mastermind, but he doesn't have Aaron Rodgers.

Clay Matthews will prove to be the real deal as an ILB. The Packers D will throttle the Eagles and make Sanchez look like he did with the Jets. The Packers offense will have another great day, although not quite like the first half against the Bears.

Green Bay 45 Philadelphia 17

I see this game going two ways.

1. Packers get hot right out of the gate and force Sanchez to throw. Rodgers sits out another 4th quarter in a packers blow out.

2. Packers start slow allowing eagles to run the ball which turns the game into a nail biter.

I watched some of the game last night, Panthers started out bad Newton should have been benched. I think our d-line is better than Panthers we have very good corners and safeties A-Rod will find his players the pack will come out with a win.Sánchez will go back to his old self butt smoking pack 45-14 eagles.
