Richard Sherman’s Week 10 MNF Breakdown: Eagles vs Packers

As NFL Week 10 comes to a close, we’ve got a heavyweight matchup under the Lambeau lights: Eagles vs. Packers.

Philadelphia Eagles at Green Bay Packers (-1)

The spread on this one’s tight – just a single point – and that tells you everything about how Vegas sees it: a coin flip. Essentially a pick ’em. Green Bay has been scrappy all season, but this Eagles team? They’re built for these moments. When the lights come on and the stage gets big, Philly knows how to rise.

Now, don’t forget – these two squads saw each other in the playoffs last year, and familiarity breeds fireworks. You spend a week prepping for someone in January, you remember every wrinkle, every motion, every pressure look. These coaching staffs know each other inside and out. That makes this a football chess match. Vic Fangio’s defense versus Matt LaFleur’s creativity – it’s going to be a beautiful battle of adjustments.

For the Packers, the big question is whether Jordan Love can stay upright and efficient against this Philly pass rush. They’ll miss Tucker Kraft, his safety valve in the short game, and that means Josh Jacobs has to carry more of the load. I expect him to be heavily involved early – both to slow down the rush and to test the Eagles’ front seven’s discipline.

On the other side, you’ve got Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown, one of the most dangerous duos in football. Hurts has that steady heartbeat – he’s not going to get rattled in Lambeau, no matter the weather. And with DeVonta Smith heating up, that’s a problem. We like Smith for an anytime touchdown bet here; Hurts trusts him on those leverage routes and red zone fades.

If Green Bay can force a turnover or two – maybe get a strip sack or short field – they can absolutely steal this one. But the safer play? Ride with the veteran squad that knows how to win close games.

The Pick: Eagles win and cover. 27-20.
