Sunday 1/9 Over or Under??

Green Bay Packers at Philadelphia Eagles (Total: 47.5)
It seems that everybody outside of the guys who really matter, the guys who set these odds that we’ve been salivating over all week, figures the Philadelphia Eagles are the real underdogs against the Green Bay Packers at home Sunday.

The books have Philly set as about a 3-point favorite but, right now, all the talk is that Green Bay might be the most dangerous team heading into the playoffs.

"Anybody can drag your name through the mud," Eagles safety Kurt Coleman told reporters. "I love the underdog role. Love it."  How much he’ll love it Sunday remains to be seen. This one’s going to be a real battle and with Vick banged up and weather likely to be a factor, I’m siding with defense here.

Pick: Under
