USA TODAY Sports' NFL experts present their cases on the "Brotherly Shove " and whether or not the play should be outlawed.

The Eagles have a success rate of 86% since they started doing the tush push in 2022 .

The Green Bay Packers chose to present the case to ban the controversial play, and NFL owners are set to vote this week .

There are only so many ways to find small margins that make the difference on a weekly basis.

The Eagles have one of the best offensive lines in the league and a powerful runner at quarterback.

Banning a play that only one out of 32 teams has used effectively and consistently for three years is like banning the game of tag at recess.
