The Philadelphia Eagles, holding a 6-2 record, are gearing up for a post-bye week clash at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers, who stand at 5-2-1.

This “Monday Night Football” matchup features a showdown between leaders of the NFC divisions, providing a thrilling conclusion to Week 10’s action.

With Jalen Hurts at the helm, the Eagles are coming off two consecutive victories and are set to introduce several new faces to their defense following the recent NFL trade deadline.

Meanwhile, the Packers are recovering from a tough Week 9, where they suffered an unexpected home loss to the Panthers. The setback was compounded by the loss of their starting tight end and top pass-catcher, Tucker Kraft, who sustained a season-ending ACL injury.

Despite being plagued by offensive injuries, the Packers are marginally favored by 1.5 points, with the total points Over/Under pegged at 48.5.

Eagles vs. Packers odds, prediction

The Packers are facing challenges at the wide receiver position and are expected to rely heavily on Josh Jacobs. With Kraft sidelined, Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, and Dontayvion Wicks are also dealing with injuries and will have limited participation on Monday night.

Jacobs entered Week 10 second among running backs behind Jonathan Taylor, with 10 rushing touchdowns. Matt LaFleur and the Packers are expected to employ a run-heavy scheme on Monday, targeting an Eagles defense that allows 120 yards per game and ranks 19th against the run.

Saquon Barkley, like Jacobs, bolted to a new team during free agency, and the decision paid dividends.

The ex-Giant, however, is having a down year across the board, producing just four touchdowns total so far and 519 yards rushing.

In addition, one aspect that has been the subject of plenty of discussion this season is Hurts’ inability to find star receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith downfield. Philly’s offense has been inconsistent at times, as the wideout tandem has combined for only five touchdowns this season.

Cue Dallas Goedert and his surprising seven receiving touchdowns on the year.

The South Dakota State product has slowly become an auto redzone option for Hurts and Philadelphia. His touchdown total leads all Eagles pass catchers, and he is currently tied for second in the NFL, behind Davante Adams.

Defenses tend to key in so much on the Tush Push, other playmakers, Barkley, Brown, and Smith; his 6-foot-5 frame can sometimes go unaccounted for.

Betting on the NFL?

Green Bay is in the middle of the pack in terms of tight end coverage. The Packers have allowed five touchdowns to the position through Week 9, as the Cardinals’ Trey McBride found the endzone twice in Week 7 against them.

Goedert has a 100 percent red zone rate, meaning each of his seven targets within 20 yards of the goal line this season has equalled pay dirt. I expect this trend to continue, and I’m taking Goedert to cross the pylon.

The Play: Dallas Goedert, Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+220, DraftKings)
