Oddsmakers have made the Packers an 11-point underdog, the largest spread they have encountered in a regular-season game since Nov. 27, 1988. That's when the Chicago Bears, a 13-point favorite, held the Packers to 22 yards rushing in a 16-0 victory at Soldier Field.
Green Bay, which hasn't won in Philly since 1962, is the only double-digit underdog this week. The seven teams that were favored by 10 or more points in the first three weeks all won, and four beat the spread.
The Packers are 0-8 in the City of Brotherly Love since Vince Lombardi's powerhouse hammered the Eagles, 49-0, as a 17-point pick on a 53-degree afternoon at Franklin Field. Their most crushing defeat occurred in January 2004 in the divisional playoffs, a 20-17 overtime heartbreaker best remembered for the Eagles' stunning conversion late in regulation.
Green Bay has a 22-12 advantage in its all-time regular season series with Philadelphia, but has lost its last three such matchups with the Eagles. In Week 12 of last season, the Packers came into Lincoln Financial Field and were dealt a 19-14 setback. The Packers' most recent victory over the Eagles came in the 2000 season by a 6-3 count, and they have lost seven straight regular season games in the City of Brotherly Love since last winning there in 1962.
