If Favre and company can get past the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on Monday night, they'll be able to square their '06 record at 2-2.

However, with all apologies to the Lions, the Packers haven't shown they can compete with quality teams so far this season. In Week 1 Green Bay was blanked 26-0 by the Chicago Bears, and they followed up that loss with a 34-27 defeat at the hands of the New Orleans Saints in Week 2. The final score in their victory over the Lions was 31-24.

Do the Eagles qualify as a quality team? Well, they're 2-1 on the year (and 2-1 against-the-spread as well), and they entered Week 5 in first place in the NFC East division. But Philadelphia's two wins came against league doormats Houston (24-10 in Week 1) and San Francisco (38-24 in Week 3). Their loss came in Week 2 against the New York Giants, when they gave up 17 points in the final quarter and eventually lost 30-24 in OT.

So Philadelphia still has something to prove as well, although Donovan McNabb has been effective so far this season. The quarterback threw for 314, 350, and 296 yards over the team's first three contests, with seven touchdown strikes and just a single INT.

Favre has been pretty good as well - if you don't look at his Week 1 numbers. The Packers QB went just 15-of-29 for 170 yards passing against the tough Bears, with no TD strikes and two interceptions. However, Favre has bounced back with two straight games of 340 yards in the air, throwing six TD passes and getting picked off just once.

Oddsmakers and bettors, though, haven't been giving the Packers much of a shot on Monday night. Philadelphia is currently pegged as a huge 11.5-point home favorite, with the total going from an opening 45.5 points to a current 48.5 points. The Eagles are 2-1 ATS and 2-1 OU so far in 2006, while the Packers are 1-2 ATS and 2-1 OU this season.

The Eagles won the meeting between these teams last season, picking up a 19-14 victory at home in November. Philadelphia had been favored by 4 points in that contest, while the combined score fell UNDER the posted total (41.5). The previous season the Eagles pounded Green Bay 47-17 at home, covering the spread and creating an OVER.

On the injury front, the Eagles have both RB Brian Westbrook (knee) and WR Donte Stallworth (hamstring) listed as questionable for this game. Westbrook returned to practice on Saturday, and his swollen knee shouldn't keep him off the field on Monday. Stallworth is expected to play too, but is more of a game-time decision. For the Packers RB Ahman Green (rib) was listed as probable, but he is now considered questionable.

Here is the official Week 5 injury report for the Packers:

Kenderick Allen DT Out Week 5 (Foot)
Will Blackmon CB Questionable Week 5 (Foot)
Junius Coston T Questionable Week 5 (Knee)
Ryan Pickett DT Questionable Week 5 (Ankle)
Jason Spitz G Questionable Week 5 (Thigh)
Ahman Green RB Probable Week 5 (Rib)

Here is the official Week 5 injury report for the Eagles:

Lito Sheppard CB Doubtful Week 5 (Ankle)
Brian Dawkins S Questionable Week 5 (Concussion)
Donte' Stallworth WR Questionable Week 5 (Hamstring)
