00:00Everyone's game of the day somehow here on the desk.
00:05I am very excited to watch this game play out.
00:08For anybody who has heard me talk about the Eagles throughout this season,
00:11you know that I think they are the best team in football.
00:14Yes, still while being the most unbiased man in the history of sports media.
00:17Which is why I've mentioned I found Green Bay to be potentially the most difficult challenge
00:21for this Eagles team within the conference.
00:25Then I peel back the layers a little bit more.
00:28And I don't even want to get to the Eagle side of this game.
00:32I got some issues with the Green Bay Packers.
00:35If you look at their games this year against playoff teams, swept by the Vikings,
00:40swept by the Lions, lost to the Eagles, beat the LA Rams who were without Cooper Cup
00:46and Pukanukuwa in the game, and had a walk-off field goal,
00:50get them a victory against the Texans at home without the cover in the matchup.
00:55Not great.
00:56Then I wanted to dive into something that I know, Lisa,
00:58you and I have talked quite a bit about off-air around the Green Bay Packers.
01:03There are four teams in the NFL who have not thrown at least 500 pass attempts.
01:08The Eagles, makes sense, Saquon Hurts, the O-line.
01:12The Ravens, Lamar, Derrick Henry, got it.
01:15The Steelers, well, they're insane.
01:17They don't know what year it is, makes sense.
01:19And the Packers, what are they doing?
01:23See, Matt LaFleur is a coach that I think is good.
01:27I'm not sure he's great.
01:28And I'm pretty sure that the most dangerous aspect of the Packers
01:33is Jordan Love slinging and bringing.
01:36And I don't know why they're out there pounding and grounding, Lisa,
01:39because for some reason, this team has run first and second,
01:43and I think that's a big mistake.
01:44Good, that's the only thing you and I will agree with on this desk in terms of that.
01:48And that's a great breakdown in regards to that.
01:51Josh Jacobs was supposed to be the cherry on top for this offense,
01:55and instead, he has been the main catalyst of this offense,
01:59which makes completely no sense.
02:01Now, let's call it what it is.
02:03When they made that playoff run at the end of the regular season,
02:06Aaron Jones was one of the hottest running backs
02:08in regards to the playoffs and end of the regular season.
02:11He was averaging around 116.9 rushing yards per game,
02:15had a very good game against Dallas, over 100 yards,
02:18challenged in the first half against San Francisco,
02:20but it was still Jordan Love working off of play action
02:23and challenging defenses over the top
02:25with the likes of Christian Watson and Jaden Reed and Dobbs and Wicks
02:29and all of those young wide receivers, Bo Melton and Heath.
02:33We haven't seen that this year, right?
02:34Now, Jordan Love has been injured in and out of the season, right?
02:38The groin, the ankle, the elbow injury,
02:40and maybe that's maybe hindered, I want to say,
02:43Matt LaFleur throughout the regular season in building consistency.
02:46But if they're going to win this game today, Donny,
02:49they need Jordan Love to get through the two and a quarter today,
02:52250 plus to challenge that defense over the top.
02:55Over the last five weeks, Jordan Love has averaged 173.8 passing yards per game.
03:01It needs to change today.
03:03I think it does.
03:04I reluctantly take the points with Green Bay,
03:06but I love the over today, guys.
