Philadelphia may be without Alshon Jeffery, although they are optimistic that he will play. DeSean Jackson, on the other hand, is expected to miss this matchup. Ronald Darby is also out.
With the injury issues and the pure talent on the rosters, the Packers are certainly a good bet to move to 4-0. Matt LaFleur has done an excellent job in his first season as head coach and defensive coordinator Mike Pettine has been amazing. Philadelphia will have to come in with a good game plan in order to beat a sturdy Green Bay defense.
Make sure to tune in for the matchup on Thursday Night Football to see if the Packers can live up to the odds and come out with a big win.
