Last year, the Packers had a roller-coaster season. They began hot but started losing. And then, around Thanksgiving, they caught fire again but lost to the Giants and Buccaneers. However, they once again went on a tear to close out the season. Including an NFL odds playoff win at Dallas. They went toe-to-toe with San Francisco in the divisional round. In comparison, the Eagles were 10-1 at one point in the year with wins over the Chiefs, Bills, Cowboys, and Dolphins. However, things fell apart after that. Finally, Philadelphia suffered a humiliating defeat against the Buccaneers in the playoffs.

Green Bay Packers Team Overview
First, the Packers have loads of sports betting potential. Jordan Love and his young receivers will continue to grow together. At the same time, Josh Jacobs will be healthier and more reliable than Aaron Jones. Defensively, Green Bay has some new pieces to help improve the unit. The Packers have the upside to be in Super Bowl contention this year.
Still, no unit experienced more ups and downs than Green Bay’s offense last year. The Packers’ scoring unit looked terrific at times. Especially down the stretch when it upset the Chiefs and blew out the Cowboys. And then they nearly prevailed in San Francisco. Conversely, Green Bay was dreadful on occasion, losing in ugly fashion to the Raiders and Broncos in consecutive weeks during the middle of the season. Also, they were humiliated by the Tommy DeVito-led Giants in a late Monday night affair.
Jordan Love had extreme moments in both directions as he and his young receivers were getting used to one another. Previously, Love barely had any NFL experience heading into the 2023 season. So now that he has game action under his belt, he should be more consistent. The same can be said of his wideouts.
Aaron Jones and David Bakhtiari aren’t the only significant Packers to depart this offseason. Also, Green Bay lost a couple of key pieces on the defensive side of the ball. Although the front office did a great job of replacing the departed personnel.
Philadelphia Eagles Team Overview
Of course, the Eagles have the potential to be the best team in the NFL. Their already explosive offense will be even more electric in the wake of the Saquon Barkley signing. Meanwhile, the defense will improve, thanks to the additions of Vic Fangio, Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, Devin White, and the two early draft choices. Philadelphia must be considered one of the favorites to win Super Bowl LIX.
Still, it is astonishing that some football analysts deemed Jalen Hurts’s selection to be one of the worst draft picks of all time. Hurts, who was once benched in favor of Tua Tagovailoa at Alabama, became the MVP frontrunner during various points of the 2022 and 2023 NFL seasons. Correlate that Hurts has piloted one of the most explosive offenses in the past couple of years. Also, he has been the frontman for the unstoppable fourth-down play. Namely, it is known as the Tush Push or the Brotherly Shove.
As great as Philadelphia’s offense has been under Hurts, it has been missing one element. Specifically, a dynamic player alongside him in the backfield.
