Monday Morning Eagles-Lions Game Score Predictions

Week Eleven has the 37th meeting between the Eagles and Lions. The current Regular Season series stands at Eagles with 18 wins, the Lions with 16 wins, and there have been 2 Ties. They have met only once in the Playoffs with the Eagles winning that 58-37 shootout. So the overall record is Eagles 19 wins and the Lions 16 wins.

As we do each week, we are gathering Game Score predictions. As always, please tag your prediction post with @mattwill that way I will be sure to see/record it.  Score predictions can also have an optional "Bonus Pick" tiebreaker prediction.  I will be taking predictions right up until Kickoff. If someone posts a prediction without a tag, please reply to it including the @mattwill tag.

@b_west3 was the winner of the Week Ten chicken dinner with a not very close Eagles 23 Packers 16 prediction, but no one was closer.

In the first six weeks the closest predictors have been

@Freshmilk and @Bwestbrook36 in Week One's 72 predictions

Final Packers Game Score Prediction Results

A total of 54 predictions were recorded with 6 for a Packers win and 47 for an Eagles win.

It comes as no surprise that no one was close to the 10-7 final score, but @b_west3's 23-16 prediction was the closest, and wins the chicken dinner.

The following Bonus predictions were correct or close to correct

@Alpha_TATEr was half right with his "The defense locks it down. Mitchell has a late INT to seal it"

@devpool was mostly right with his "I don't think GB is dangerous, however they're coming off a huge disappointment at home. They'll be looking to bounce back so we'll be getting their best between that and us being defending champs."

@greendestiny27 got what he hoped for with his "Bad vibe about this one unfortunately, hopefully it's just me."

@Iggles_Phan was prophetic with "Nail biter, down to the final gun. I manage to stay awake until the end of the game."

I guess @JohnB was right with "Our weapons on offense keep the Packers guessing"

@LacesOut was spot on with his "3 sacks for the Iggles D"

@RLC's confidence was well paced with his "I feel surprisingly confident that we'll beat the Packers. I'm way more worried about the Lions game." The second half of his Bonus is yet to play out.

and

@Talkingbirds got the first part of his prediction right with "Packers try to tie up score with long FG, but it’s wide right. Eagles victory formation eats rest of the clock."

In the first ten weeks the closest predictors have been

@Freshmilk and @Bwestbrook36 in Week One's 72 predictions

@just relax in Week Two's 55 predictions

@Diehardfan in Week Three's 56 predictions

@Screaminbeagle in Week Four's 61 predictions

@Walkdawalk in Week Five's 59 predictions

@Giggity_goo in Week Six's 50 predictions

@kiwieagle and @Diehardfan in Week Seven's 52 predictions

@McMVP in Week Eight's 50 predictions

@b_west3 in Week Ten's 54 predictions

Here is the final list of the predictions and bonuses:

Looks like one of the new guys on defense got us a turnover too. With yhe recovered fumble

thank you, defense, because this offense, stinks.

Lot of self inflicted wounds from our offense…. First drive hurts fumble, 2nd drive players slipping on the field on back to back plays. Mailata had a pair of terrible false starts in the game putting us in a hole…. Toth had a huge holding call later in the game that negated Barkley best run for a 1st down.

It was an ugly win due to poor, predictable coaching on the O. According to Smitty, his TD was something he, AJ, and Hurts schemed up. AJ should have drawn a DPI. GB has a good D, still no reason over this season for not being able to scheme AJ open. With the emphasis on ball safety, Hurts is not going to throw as many contested throws, where AJ excels when he's being used for more than a blocker or decoy. It used to be screens behind the LOS on long ydg drove me nuts. Now it's predicted runs up the gut.

Lane Johnson is one TOUGH SOB

the oline injuries continue, but the play design and playcalling are lacking as well.

that said, 7-2.

Woke up today thinking Howie won that game

QB really off his game last night for sure

And the bad throws and fumbles and missed seeing open receivers...and bad decisions on RPOs... agree.

Patullo...how can you design a play where Mailata slips...just awful design

There was a lot of slipping on that field

Overall Toth is doing better than i thought he would.

That was a hold but my guess it wouldn't have been called on a pro bowl center

So when Hurts decides to give the ball to Barkley on the same play and he loses yardage...it's amazing how it then becomes " bad play calling" isn't it? Or when Fred Johnson completely whiffs on a block

.. or when Mailata slips...or when Hurts doesn't see an open Smith behind the defense... just amazing how Patullo all of a sudden can't call plays? QB draw was a perfect call before the fumble though on that first drive, but Patullo fumbled.

Just bad play calling when you call for your player to slip.

Just bad play call there with that hold

But Mailata executed the play perfectly

there's really no bright spot on the offense at this point.

although goedert did get me enough points for my fantasy team.

🤣

If you watch the TD reception by Smitty,you will see what I was talking about before. It was not a clean cut route, it was an arc, a timing route. As long as you are inside your defender it's very hard to defend. Not the clean break your diagram showed. I hope you can see what I mean now

For a former TE it’s really surprising how you don’t recognize or understand expectations on any route running. That wasn’t an Out Route. Why would you think it was?

Definitely have no idea what you are thinking or comparing
