Head coach Nick Siriani catches plenty of heat and criticism from fans and gamblers. But he understands that comes with the betting on NFL territory. Despite the heat, Siriani has produced four playoff bids in four seasons at the helm. Two years ago, Sirianni led the Eagles to a close Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. This year, the Eagles went 14-3 for the second time in two years. Last week, Philadelphia beat an outclassed Green Bay team for a wild card win. Now brings a divisional playoff home game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Philadelphia has a record of 14-3 straight up, 11-6 against the spread, and 7-10 over/under the Pro football Bets total.

To illuminate, the Eagles led from start to finish. Philadelphia took advantage of a huge special teams play by Oren Burks and Jeremiah Trotter on the opening kickoff. Hence, they disposed of the feisty, undermanned Green Bay Packers in a wildcard playoff game at Lincoln Financial Field.
To show, Burks drilled Packers kick returner Keisean Nixon to force a fumble. Subsequently, Trotter had to win a wrestling match to recover in a big pileup, giving the Eagles the ball at the 28-yard line.
On the third play from there, Jalen Hurts found Jahan Dotson for an 11-yard touchdown. With a 7-0 lead, the Eagles were in control. Still, with Hurts playing his first full game since Dec. 15, the offense was stop-and-start. Despite being out of sync, Hurts did throw a 24-yard touchdown to Dallas Goedert, who stiff-armed Carrington Valentine a couple of times. In turn, that relatively short throw into a touchdown and a 16-3 lead.
Overall, Hurts completed his first six passes and finished 13-for-21 with 131 yards, two TDs, and a passer rating of 111.4. Additionally, Saquon Barkley became the first running back to rush for 100 yards against the Packers since Joe Mixon did it in Week 7. He had 119 yards.
