Why the Eagles can cover
The Eagles started last season 10-1 and seemed in prime position to make their second straight Super Bowl appearance. However, after a 42-19 loss to the 49ers, Philadelphia's entire season began to unravel. The Eagles finished the regular season 1-5 and suffered a disastrous 32-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card Round. The Eagles brought back head coach Nick Sirianni but hired Kellen Moore as offensive coordinator and Vic Fangio as defensive coordinator.
The Eagles were 30th out of 32 teams in opponents scoring (25.6 points per game) and 26th in points allowed per game. Fangio was brought in to fix that situation, and given his success rate leading one of the NFL's top defenses, it may not take him long to do so. The Eagles bring back quarterback Jalen Hurts, feature receivers AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith, and add a new dimension to their offense with the addition of superstar running back Saquon Barkley. The Eagles are 3-0 to start the season under Coach Sirianni and are looking to quickly forget how they finished last year. Find out who to root for with SportsLine.
Why the Packers can cover
Green Bay was off to a disappointing 3-6 start in 2023, leading some fans to question whether the team made the right decision in releasing quarterback Aaron Rodgers. But Jordan Love stepped up in the second half, completing 70.3% of his passes for 2,150 yards, 20 touchdowns and just one interception in his final eight games. He also led Green Bay to a playoff win, nearly beating the 49ers in the divisional round, which earned him a four-year, $220 million contract extension this offseason.
The Packers have a great group of wide receivers in Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Romeo Dubs and Dontayveon Wicks and will look to attack an Eagles defense that ranks second-to-last in the NFL in pass defense. Green Bay has covered the spread in four of their last five games entering the 2024 season and is 12-6 in their last 18 games against NFC opponents. Find out who to root for with SportsLine.
