The hottest team in the 2015 NFL Preseason, Philadelphia Eagles, are set to face the hottest quarterback in the league, Aaron Rodgers, and his Green Bay Packers at the Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin on Saturday.
Philadelphia had been blasting their opponents in the preseason so far with two huge blowouts.
The Eagles open the preseason with a 36-10 shellacking of the Indianapolis Colts at the Lincoln Financial Field, then a 40-17 rout of the Baltimore Ravens also at home last Saturday, via ESPN.
This game against the Packers is their first on the road this preseason and they are expected to experience some tough competition for the first time against Rodgers and his team.
Green Bay is currently 1-1 with a win over the New England Patriots on opening day, 22-11, and a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday, 24-19, as reported by Fox Sports.
The Packers suffered a huge loss with wideout Jordy Nelson injured in their last game, but Rodgers is expected to flex his muscle against Philadelphia at home, where they won their last two preseason matches.
Prediction: Packers win, 30-28
