Eagles Set to Host Green Bay Packers in Wild Card Round

The Philadelphia Eagles have opened as a 3.5 point favorite in the Wild Card Round matchup with the Green Bay Packers.

"Really good football team, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said on Sunday after the Eagles win over the Giants. Coached really well. We’re not really worried about anything else other than them."

The two teams met in Brazil back in Week 1 and will now meet with the winner heading to the Divisional Round of the NFC playofs.

"Yeah, both teams are different from that day until now, no doubt, Sirianni stated. We’ll use that. You use everything. That's something that when we go play a team that we played the previous year, we'll use that, too. That's from year to year. So of course we'll use that. They'll use that. We understand that. It's a really good team. Really well coached."
