Green Bay Packers

Picks

Shoutout to Covers’ Jason Logan for putting this TD angle on my radar for Monday night. Saquon Barkley is dealing with a groin injury, and the Tush Push might be the best way to close out Week 10. Back on May 21 at the league’s spring meetings, Packers CEO Mark Murphy called the Tush Push “bad for the game” and said it “involves no skill.” The proposal to ban it actually came from Green Bay. Jalen Hurts might take that personally — and could find the end zone multiple times Monday night.

This one is personal for the Philadelphia Eagles. In the offseason, the Packers lobbied to have the “Tush Push” banned and brought a vote to the league, which was ultimately shot down. So, naturally, if there’s a shot the Eagles can use the “Brotherly Shove” to score a touchdown in Week 10’s matchup with Green Bay, you know they’re going to take it. Jalen Hurts hasn’t rushed for a touchdown in two games, which is a notable drought for the Eagles QB – often powered by the “Tush Push”. In fact, Hurts hasn’t gone three straight games without a rushing TD since the end of the 2023 season (in which he sat most of Week 18 and didn’t score in the Wild Card). This offensive line is fresh and ready to serve some sour grapes to Green Bay on MNF. FYI: Two TDs is paying +1000. Just sayin'.

The Eagles have had two weeks to tighten the bolts for a strong start to the second half of the season. Philadelphia was on a bye in Week 9, watching the Packers put up a dud against Carolina. Vic Fangio will have something special schemed for Jordan Love, who struggles under pressure – specifically with a dominant front four rush. That’s Philly’s strength. Love will also be without TE Tucker Kraft for Week 10 and rookie WR Matthew Golden left Week 9 with a shoulder injury. The Eagles offense has looked much stronger in recent weeks, boasting the highest EPA per play since Week 7. I’m passing on the points and taking the Eagles outright on the moneyline.
