00:00We saw this back in the wild card game, too,

00:03and we saw what Fangio did to Jordan Love.

00:05I think he had three picks in that game.

00:07It's a tough matchup for them, because if they can't run the ball,

00:12then to your point there with the 31-and-a-half pass attempts,

00:15what about his passing yardage here?

00:18Because the Eagles, they don't give up the explosive play.

00:22So it's not two plays, 88 yards.

00:25So are we dinking and dunking our way to 240 yards here for Jordan Love?

00:30I think so, and losing Tucker Craft, who is having an unbelievable season,

00:35I think is a big blow to their offense.

00:38So I think it has to start with, hey, we're going to take a deep shot here

00:41and there with Christian Watson, but we have to have a consistent offense

00:44with Dobbs, with Josh Jacobs coming in the back.

00:47Jordan Love has to do his utmost best to just keep the ball safe,

00:51pick up first downs, and manage the game that way.

00:54You're not going to have these explosive plays up the seam

00:56and then be able to have a play-action shot to Watson

00:59because Tucker Craft is missing.

01:00You have to do your best to just say,

01:02we have to pick up the yards that we can and go from there.

01:05I do think it's intriguing because usually when you take a look at a game

01:08like low 40s and it's Lambeau, it's cold temperatures,

01:10they don't want to throw the football.

01:11These guys, look, it's cold temperatures, yes,

01:13but for Green Bay in November, 30 degrees, you'll take that every time.

01:17Winds, Tom, under 10 miles per hour, no precipitation in the forecast.

01:20So you're not going to get those elements creeping like,

01:22oh, we can't pass the football, let's run it here and do this.

01:24I think that's a pretty shrewd bet to make.

01:26If we look at some of the team props, Tom, which you know I like quickly here,

01:29rushing yards today for the Eagles, 132.5 as a team.

01:33For the Packers, 119.5 as a team.

01:36If I gave you the option to go with either team's rushing tonight,

01:39who are you taking?

01:40I would want to take the Eagles, and it's based on, you know,

01:45I would want to take the Eagles with the points as well,

01:47but I want to take the Eagles knowing that Saquon seemingly has this explosive nature

01:51back over the past few weeks, where in the first portion of the season,

01:54he had not been breaking off these long runs, and I think those are starting to turn.

01:58And also, real quick on this one, Tom, if we look at the wide receiver position market tonight,

02:02again, A.J. Brown, 56.5.

02:04I know you're looking at Devontae Smith, 54.5.

02:06Any other options, even a low-buy option, like a Jahan Dotson, 4.5 yards tonight?

02:12No, I would rather turn to, I would want to find a Luke Musgrave prop in the mid-20s.

02:19He's going to have to step into a bigger role, so I would look there for him

02:21because Tucker Graff is getting out for the season.

02:23I would also look to, as that graphic stroke, Devontae Smith over 21.5 for his longest reception.

02:29The Packers have allowed a reception of at least 20 yards in six of every games,

02:33and we see Smith with a 34% air yard share for the Eagles.

02:37He should be able to break it off downfield.
