Packers Aiming to Build On Encouraging 2023

The Green Bay Packers were one of the best stories in the NFL last season. They made the playoffs and even won a game in the postseason behind first-year starter Jordan Love. This season, the Packers will look to start their season with a win in South America and prove that they are a contender to be taken seriously once again in the NFL in 2024.

While the offense for the Packers should be good this year with Love and new running back Josh Jacobs working together, the defense of the Packers will be the key to this contest. The Packers secondary will be tested against the duo of AJ Brown and Devonta Smith. If Green Bay's pass defense can hold up, though, they could start this season with a statement win.

Eagles With Questions to Answer In Week 1

Last season ended very poorly for the Philadelphia Eagles, who failed to win the NFC East then got crushed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. The passing game for the Eagles fell apart late in the season, but the Eagles offense has a new weapon in Saquon Barkley to utilize out of the backfield to start this year, which they hope will help them recover from last season's late collapse.

The offensive line of the Eagles will be a bit more of a question mark than it has been in recent seasons. Jason Kelce's retirement has shifted a ton of responsibility around up front for Philadelphia. How cohesively that group functions will be interesting to monitor as the game goes along given both how good Kelce was at blocking and how much responsibility he carried for the overall operation of the offense.

Packers vs Eagles Best Bet

We are going with the Packers to cover the number in Friday's Packers vs Eagles showdown from Brazil. While the Eagles should contend for the NFC East title once again this season, the Packers are a very good team with a bright future ahead of it. Look for them to make this a game that goes down to the wire, with Jordan Love and company covering the spread regardless of the final outcome of the game itself.
