Monday NFL Report
Monday NFL Report: Green Bay Packers (1-2) at Philadelphia Eagles (2-1). By Betwwts and Ecobika sports betting Grizzled veteran Brett Favre gets one more turn in the limelight tonight as the Green Bay Packers travel to Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia to face Donovan McNabb and the Eagles. The Packers enter the game as huge 11.5-point underdogs against an Eagles team that has looked very tough for 11 of their 12 quarters of action so far this season. But for a fourth-quarter meltdown in Week 2 that cost them a 30-24 overtime decision to the division rival New York Giants, Philadelphia has looked ready to take command of the competitive NFC East this season. Favre and the Pack meanwhile, have performed pretty much as anticipated based on low preseason expectations. A 31-24 win over the Detroit Lions last week was Green Bay's first of the campaign, and came largely on the strength of Favre's 25-of-36 passing performance for 340 yards and three touchdowns. That followed another 340-yard outing in Week 2, when Favre uncorked a whopping 55 attempts and completed 31 in a 34-27 setback against the inspired New Orleans Saints. McNabb though, has delivered so far on his mission to lead the Eagles to success in the wake of last season's forgettable campaign. At 29 years of age and in his eighth NFL season after being drafted second overall by Philadelphia back in 1999, McNabb has thrown for an average of 320 yards per game in three starts this year with seven majors, a single interception, and a QB rating of 105.3 (third overall entering Week 4 action). If Brian Westbrook (knee) and Donte' Stallworth (hamstring) are both in the lineup tonight - both are listed as questionable - then expect McNabb to have all the tools he needs at his disposal to put up some more big numbers against a Green Bay defense which has allowed 28 points per game to rank 28th overall out of 32 NFL teams. The Philly offense has put up 28.7 points per game and ranks third overall in the NFL. The number for this game has climbed this week to a current total of 48.5. Philadelphia knocked off visiting Green Bay last November by a 19-14 count, covering the 4-point spread as a home chalk. Coverage begins at 8:30 pm ET on ESPN.
