Line on Eagles vs. Packers Thursday Night Green Bay -3

The line on the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Green Bay Packers Thursday Night Football game was coming in at Green Bay -3 early.  Sagarin suggests a line of -6.  This one should trend upwards ahead of Game Day.

Ahead of Week 3, the Eagles have not looked at all intimidating.  They just barely beat the Redskins and managed to lose by four points Sunday night as a favorite versus the Falcons. 

Philadelphia, which has been injury riddled, lost another player before this game even began.

Dallas Goedert sustained a calf injury, apparently in pregame in warmups, which left Ertz as the Eagles' only tight end.

The line closed at -4 or -4.5 for the Eagles hosting Detroit in Week 3. Philadelphia has come into their Week 3 game 16-4 Straight Up in its last 20 home games.

The Packers remained unbeaten under new head coach Matt LaFleur after opening the NFL's 100th season with a victory at rival Chicago. They also beat the Vikings (1-1) for the fifth time in the past seven games at Lambeau Field.

They closed as a -7 or -7.5 favorite at home versus the Broncos in Week 3. Through 2 weeks, the Packers defense ranks #2 in scoring. The Packers have forced 5 turnovers already, with a total of four in Week 2.

Green Bay still pays 2/1 odds to win the NFC North at some books, $140 for every $100 bet at BetOnline.
