00:00Matt, let's start off in the NFC and get your opinion early on this one. Boy, I gotta tell you,

00:03I was not really encouraged listening to Jordan Love talk the other day, talking about still

00:08having pain in his elbow. They are four and a half point underdogs at Philadelphia. Packers

00:14going into the playoffs, limping a little bit, I would say. Fair to say as they lose to the Bears.

00:19Eagles, it's like a 180 from their season last year where they lost so many games in a row and

00:24everyone thought they had no shot to win. That indeed was the case. Eagles four and a half point

00:29favorites, total of 45 and a half. Any position, Matt, do you have on this game? Yeah, I like the

00:34Eagles here. I just think that they're the better team. They have the better playmakers. They're

00:39obviously at home. And the injury with Love, yeah, it's a little bit of a worry, but we know he's

00:44going to be out there. Jalen Hurts, pretty much we know he's going to be out there. Same with

00:48Jayden Daniels for the Commanders. These guys are a little banged up, but who isn't this time of year?

00:52And I just think the Eagles have the more complete team. I think they're playing with a lot of

00:57confidence. And you look at some of the injuries that the Packers are dealing with. You take away

01:01a guy like Christian Watson, who's not that consistent, hasn't necessarily had that good

01:06of a year, but just adds a more dynamic element to that offense when he's on the field that now

01:10is no longer there. So to me, for the Packers to win this game, it's really got to be a slowed down,

01:16grinded out game. They're going to have to have Josh Jacobs do a lot of the dirty work.

01:20And I think the Eagles defense is ready to handle that. They've been, you know, if not the best,

01:24one of the very best defenses in the league all season. They're just a very complete team. So

01:30I think they'll take care of business here. You know, maybe there's some, a little bit of

01:34a late rally by the Packers, but I think the Eagles will win this one fairly comfortably.
