Ahead of Week 3, the Eagles have not looked at all intimidating. They just barely beat the Redskins and managed to lose by four points Sunday night as a favorite versus the Falcons.
Philadelphia, which has been injury riddled, lost another player before this game even began.
Dallas Goedert sustained a calf injury, apparently in pregame in warmups, which left Ertz as the Eagles' only tight end.
The line closed at -4 or -4.5 for the Eagles hosting Detroit in Week 3. Philadelphia has come into their Week 3 game 16-4 Straight Up in its last 20 home games.
The Packers remained unbeaten under new head coach Matt LaFleur after opening the NFL's 100th season with a victory at rival Chicago. They also beat the Vikings (1-1) for the fifth time in the past seven games at Lambeau Field.
They closed as a -7 or -7.5 favorite at home versus the Broncos in Week 3. Through 2 weeks, the Packers defense ranks #2 in scoring. The Packers have forced 5 turnovers already, with a total of four in Week 2.
Green Bay still pays 2/1 odds to win the NFC North at some books, $140 for every $100 bet at BetOnline.
