Why the Eagles can cover
Despite struggling offensively late in the season, Philadelphia’s primary issue was defensive in 2023. The Eagles ranked 30th in the NFL in scoring defense, 26th in total defense and 31st in pass defense. That’s why they invested first and second-round picks in the secondary, drafting Quinyon MItchell with their top pick and then selecting Cooper DeJean in the second round.
They also signed C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Avonte Maddox in free agency and will welcome Darius Slay Jr. back healthy this season, which should lead to a new feel in the back half. On the other side of the ball, the Eagles Saquon Barkely to revitalize the rushing attack and then recently pulled off a trade for Jahan Dotson to improve wide receiver depth behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. See who to back at SportsLine.
Why the Packers can cover
Quarterback Jordan Love answered any questions about whether he was fit to be the starter last season, leading Green Bay to a 6-2 finish and a playoff victory. The Packers are ahead of schedule entering their second season without quarterback Aaron Rodgers, notching notable wins over the Lions, Chiefs, Chargers and Cowboys last season. They have a balanced wide receiver room that features Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed, making them a difficult offense to prepare for.
The Eagles gave up the second-most passing touchdowns in the NFL last season, and they have an aging secondary. Additionally, Green Bay’s rushing attack should improve this season following the addition of running back Josh Jacobs, who is playing behind an offensive line that features some new talent. Jacobs rushed for 1,653 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2022, averaging 4.8 yards per carry. See who to back at SportsLine.
