Eric Karabell grabbed Eagles +2.5 immediately, arguing that the market is over-correcting for Green Bay’s embarrassing home loss to Carolina. He framed the matchup as a gulf in offensive consistency: Philadelphia brings a mistake-free quarterback, an explosive run game, dominant wideouts and a touchdown-machine tight end, while Green Bay counters with a reckless quarterback, thin receiver room and a season-ending injury to its starting tight end. Karabell conceded the Packers will play better than last week but maintained that the Eagles’ firepower means they should be outright road favorites, not underdogs.

Eric Karabell grabbed the Steelers +3.5, noting this is Aaron Rodgers’ first crack at his old team. Rodgers has performed as well for Pittsburgh as Jordan Love has for Green Bay, yet the market still makes the Steelers home dogs. Karabell pointed out the Packers’ uneven recent form— squeaking past Arizona and Cincinnati, tying Dallas, and falling to Cleveland — and believes Green Bay winning by more than a field goal is unlikely. He labeled the spread a buying opportunity driven by narrative and mediocre Packer results.
