With playoff drama oozing with suspense, both quarterbacks are in line to play in the Packers-Eagles Wild Card showdown.
The Green Bay Packers head into Philadelphia to take on the Eagles for a Wild Card showdown on Sunday at 4:30PM. The game will have both teams starting quarterbacks as Jalen Hurts and Jordan Love were practicing late in the week.
There has been some drama and mystery to whether or not Jalen Hurts and Jordan Love would play this week as Jalen Hurts had not cleared concussion protocol from his week 17 exit. Jordan Love suffered an elbow injury in week 18 versus the Bears where he left the game early.
While both quarterbacks were expected to play, every injury report each day holds greater intensity in the playoffs. The game has a 45.5 point total with the Eagles favored by 4.5 points. With a fully healthy Hurts, usually this line would grip closer to the Eagles being favored by a touchdown. The line and total is predicting a lower scoring, close game. With a colder forecast and the projected game total in hand expect more fireworks on the ground between Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs versus a full on aerial assault.
