00:00As an Eagles fan, Monday Night Football is going to be big tonight.

00:03Why?

00:03They take on the Green Bay Packers.

00:04There's a lot on the line in the NFC.

00:06It's going to have to do with playoff seeding when it's all said and done.

00:09But a monster game tonight for the Eagles.

00:10And next week, they got the Detroit Lions on tap.

00:13A lot to be decided over the next two weeks.

00:15But for me as a fan, Joe, it feels like they haven't played since opening night.

00:18You get the bye week, and then you have to wait for Monday Night Football.

00:22But the Eagles were a banged-up football team.

00:24Banged up no longer.

00:25Down Cam Juergens.

00:26Everybody else is expected to be in the lineup tonight.

00:29A.J. Brown's hamstring injuries.

00:30Full go this week at practice.

00:32Saquon Barkley, the little ankle, little knee issues there.

00:34Full go at practice this week.

00:36Also, Nolan Smith, their best pass rusher, who's down for multiple weeks with a tricep injury.

00:41He'll be back tonight.

00:42Brandon Graham coming off the sidelines on the couch.

00:44He's active tonight.

00:45Jalen Phillips, you make a trade as a defensive end from the Miami Dolphins.

00:49He's active tonight.

00:50This is a monster game tonight in Green Bay.

00:53And, Joe, Green Bay is the favorite at most outlets by at least one and a half to one point.

00:57Let's start there.

00:58The favorite side is the Packers, should they be.

01:02Well, yeah, and it's funny because not only we forget that they also traded for Nickelback Michael Carter now,

01:10which is going to allow Cooper DeGene to kind of hang out back there and make sure that nothing gets behind them

01:17because they have done an amazing job, Donnie, of not giving up the big play here, which is great.

01:23Jalen Phillips, another edge rusher here.

01:26Vic Fangio and company putting it all together.

01:28They have all the pieces that they need.

01:31The biggest problem was, of course, you know, Ringo and Adoree Jackson.

01:34They were a little bit suspect, to say the least, in that secondary.

01:38But I think they've done a pretty good job of adjusting here.

01:42And the big question that I have in this game, Donnie, is, listen, there were question marks about this offense to begin with for Green Bay.

01:50Now you've lost your best and most lethal offensive weapon there in Tucker Craft, who was the only guy, by the way, Donnie,

01:58that could actually get open for this offense here.

02:02We've seen nothing else from Christian Watson and Reed and others.

02:05We've seen nothing.

02:07They can't run the ball consistently enough.

02:10This is a tough spot for Green Bay.

02:12I have more questions about Green Bay than I do Philadelphia.

02:16So while I think, obviously, paying in Lambeau is an advantage, I don't know how big an advantage is

02:22because I don't know how many points are getting scored in this game tonight, Donnie.

02:25It feels like it's going to be a rock fight in a lot of different ways.
