Jalen Hurts anytime touchdown

Aaron Jones goes over 55.5 rushing yards

Aaron Rodgers over .5 interceptions

What is the line telling you: With the Packers being ranked eighth in the NFL in yards per rush attempt, and the Eagles defense having issues over their recent play stopping the run, we should see Aaron Jones go over 55.5 rushing yards.

Jones has rushed for 100 yards or more on four occasions this season and the Eagles defense has struggled stopping the run giving up an average of 122 rushing yards per game this year.

Last week, the Colts ran for 99 yards and almost pulled the upset. This week they’re taking on a Packers team that ranks eighth in the NFL in yards per rush attempt, which is 17 spots better than the Colts and 19 spots better than the Commanders. The Packers should be able to find a ton of success on the ground this week with Jones and A.J. Dillon.

The magic number for Green Bay is 120 rushing yards. If they get there, they have a slim shot of pulling the upset. The Packers are 3-1 this season when they rush for 120 yards or more as a team (they’re 1-6 when they don’t). Expect the Packers to slow the Eagles’ pass rush. That comes with pounding the ball through the ground game.

Jalen Hurts anytime TD at minus-105 always has a shot, considering the fact that he has eight rushing TDs this season. We also like the over 0.5 interceptions for Aaron Rodgers against one of the best pass defenses in the NFL.
