When the Packers host the Eagles on "Thursday Night Football" (8:20 p.m. ET Fox, NFL Network, Amazon Prime), both teams have plenty on the line early.
Green Bay is trying to improve to 4-0 before a big road game against an another NFC East opponent — 3-0 Dallas next week. Philadelphia, at 1-2, needs to get back above .500 soon or risk fading in the division.
Aaron Rodgers and Carson Wentz make for a great QB matchup as two classic franchises should deliver a midweek game that lives up to marquee expectations.
Here's everything to know about betting on Eagles vs. Packers, including updated odds, trends and our prediction.

Three things to watch
Rodgers revs up
The Eagles have had a limited pass rush and a bad secondary so far in '19. Rodgers has been more of a caretaker QB because of the luxury afforded to him by his running game and defense doing enough damage in two weeks, as the Packers have allowed a total of only 39 points. That said, he's made a big play early in each game to set the tone for the victories.
The breakout passing game for him under Matt LaFleur is bound to come. This is a good time to let him loose, with a competent offensive opponent on the other side as a warmup for a potential shootout with Dak Prescott next week.
Run Sanders, run
The Packers once had to deal with Barry Sanders in the division. Eagles rookie Miles Sanders showed his special running and receiving skills against the Lions. The Packers have had trouble with quick explosive backs early, namely Dalvin Cook and Phillip Lindsay. The Eagles must stay committed to the run enough to limit Rodgers' time on the field and facilitate Wentz.
Lines vs. lines
The Packers' offensive line is coming off a dominant game against the Broncos. The Eagles' defensive line is struggling to get to the QB. The Packers' defensive line has been controlling much of the action. The Eagles' elite offensive line isn't not playing to its usual standards. It's hard for Philly to change both trends in one night.
Stat that matters
Rodgers is 66-17-1 at home for good reason. He's rated 107.7 during his career at Lambeau Field, averaging nearly 8 yards per attempt. He had two slightly off games when hosing the Vikings and Broncos. He's overdue to explode.
Team vs. Team prediction
Rodgers throws more here because the desperate Eagles will put up a good fight with Sanders and Wentz. The Packers' defense is improved, but the Eagles have too many versatile weapons not to stay in the game the whole way. The Packers win by a Mason Crosby field goal.
Packers 27, Eagles 24
