The Green Bay Packers are rolling offensively at Lambeau Field

Philadelphia has won and covered the number in four of its last five games, including a 45-21 victory over the Carolina Panthers as seven-point home favorites on Monday Night Football, while winning the statistical battle for a fourth consecutive affair. The Eagles own a half-game lead in the NFC East division, which is important to consider when making your pro football picks, as they prepare to play their second game with backup quarterback Mark Sanchez. The former New York Jet threw for 332 yards and two touchdowns last time out. Philadelphia is 7-7 SU and 4-9-1 ATS versus teams with a winning record the last two-plus seasons.

The Eagles may want to get the running game going against the Packers at Lambeau Field, as Sunday’s home team has limited opposing quarterbacks to a league-low 64.2 passer rating at the historic venue in 2014. Philadelphia is capable of scoring on any foe with second-year head coach Chip Kelly calling plays, as the offense ranks fourth in the NFL in averaging 31.0 points per game.

Green Bay improved to a dominating 32-3 SU in its last 35 regular-season home games with Aaron Rodgers under center by picking up a 55-14 blowout victory over the Chicago Bears last week. The Packers have won both meetings in this NFC series during the regular season with Rodgers on the field, while the team’s last five victories in this series have come by a single-digit margin. In each of the four previous matchups, including the postseason, neither team has scored more than 27 points. Green Bay is 10-6 SU and 9-5-1 ATS versus teams with a winning record since the start of the 2012 campaign.

The Packers have outscored opponents by a 166-65 margin in their first four home games this year, with the plus-101 point differential being the top figure in the league at this point. Green Bay has averaged 31.5 points per game in front of its fan base since 2009—occupying the No. 3 spot behind the New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints in that statistical category.
