Best Same Game Parlay Today: SGP Picks for Packers vs Eagles (Jan 12)

The second game of the day on Sunday will feature the best team in action this weekend in the NFC heading up against a young and ever-improving Green Bay Packers team.

Both defenses have remained squarely in the top 10 all season long which will make finding props a challenge here, but I'm still seeing a few opportunities and a large one in a rather obscure market.

Let's highlight a few players who should shine in this one as we build a same-game parlay for Packers vs Eagles on Sunday, January 12.

Saquon Barkley Over 12.5 Receiving Yards

Our first order of business here will be putting our faith behind Saquon Barkley -- in the most interesting of ways.

We don't normally think of Barkley as a pass-catching back, but we can't forget he began his season with 23 yards on two grabs against this very same Green Bay defense.

• That's no coincidence, as the Packers have performed admirably on defense but have left themselves vulnerable just beyond the line of scrimmage with the third-most targets allowed to opposing running backs this season.

Barkley has averaged 2.1 catches and 17.4 yards per game this season, going for a 8.4 yards per catch to match a career-high, and with how many passes this defense has allowed to opposing backs I think Barkley's alternate lines could even be in play here.

Dallas Goedert Over 3.5 Receptions

Neither of these teams likes to throw the ball, which will really make life difficult on us as we look to build a same-game parlay versus two excellent rushing defenses. It'll likely come down to which of the two teams is less stubborn and chooses to abandon the run, and I think signs are pointing to the Eagles.

• Philly has leapfrogged Green Bay in early-down passing rate over the last five weeks, and now it will get one of its best weapons back into the fold when Dallas Goedert returns to the lineup.

That should give the Eagles a bit more incentive to throw here, and open up a big day for Goedert as he re-announces himself to the league.

Goedert has been targeted over five times per game yet again this year, and he's caught a career high 80.8% of the passes thrown his way to boot. Now, he'll step into a matchup against a Packers team which has been excellent against both the run and pass, but has ranked just 22nd in DVOA against tight ends with 7.6 targets on average allowed.

I don't have many hesitations when it comes to Goedert's playing time here; the Eagles have played things cautiously to get him ready for the playoffs. Expect Philly to unleash Goedert.

Jayden Reed Over 45.5 Receiving Yards

It's very difficult to find any way in against this Eagles defense, which has ranked near the top of the league against every position, but as they've shut down every option on the field teams have had no choice but to lean on their top wideouts in these matchups.

Philly ranks just 24th in DVOA against the WR1 position, which is by far the biggest liability on the field, and I expect Jayden Reed to have a big game as a result.

• Reed broke free for 138 yards against the Eagles in Week 1 despite catching just four passes, and we'll lean on his shiftiness to rack up yards here even if he's held to four or fewer catches yet again.

Reed has hit this mark in eight of his 16 games, removing one contes shortened by injury, and stands the best chance of any receiver to have a day. He did receive seven targets in two playoff games last season as a rookie, too, and now after earning more trust from this coaching staff I expect a big postseason.
