7 key matchups Eagles fans should watch during Week 12 slate of games

The Eagles will return to Lincoln Financial Field for an intriguing Sunday night matchup against the Packers, but it won’t be the only game around the league to watch in Week 12.

Playoff scenarios are starting to form, and as some teams around the league start looking toward the draft, Philadelphia is doing both.

The Eagles are the top seed currently in the NFC and are looking at a potential top-10 pick in the 2023 NFL draft next spring.

We’re previewing seven key games Philly fans should watch this holiday weekend.

The middle game of the Thursday schedule offers the most intriguing matchup for Eagles fans.

The Giants will look to duplicate the Commanders’ Week 10 game plan against Dallas, controlling the football and keeping Dak Prescott off the field.

New York is also missing four players along the offensive line, a recipe for disaster on a short week.
