The Packers finished last season with a 9-8 record overall and they were 4-2 in their division games too. They had a 5-3 record in their home games and had a 4-5 record in their road games where they will be in this game. Last season, their offense was averaging 22.5 points per game and their defense was allowing an average of 20.6 points per game. Their offense was also averaging 345.5 yards per game and their defense was allowing an average of 335.1 yards per game. Jordan Love led the team in passing yards with 4159, Aaron Jones led the team in rushing yards with 656, and Jayden Reed led the team in receiving yards with 793.

The Eagles finished last season with an 11-6 record overall and they were 4-2 in their division games too. They had a 6-2 record in their home games and had a 5-4 record in their road games, but they will be at home in this game. Last season, their offense was averaging 25.5 points per game and their defense was allowing an average of 25.2 points per game. Their offense was also averaging 354.4 yards per game and their defense was allowing an average of 356.1 yards per game. Jalen Hurts led the team in passing yards with 3858, D'Andre Swift led the team in rushing yards with 1049, and A.J. Brown led the team in receiving yards with 1456.

The current betting odds have the Packers listed as a 2.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Packers finished last season with a 9-8 record overall, but they looked their best at the end of the season and even made a bit of a run in the playoffs. Jordan Love inked a big contract in the offseason so he will be motivated this season knowing he is the guy going forward. They also had one of the youngest teams in the playoffs last season, but now these players have another year under their belt to draw experience from and they will improve together as a team this season. Meanwhile, the Eagles were 11-6 overall last season but they started to lose steam near the end of the season, eventually crashing out in the playoffs. They have had some issues in the locker room over the last year too which hasn't helped this team stay on the same page. Now they are playing their season opener in a different continent with this game being in Brazil, and the Eagles are going to have some pressure to perform here with the expectations they have and the talent on the roster. The Packers are in a better situation here and they will be looking to prove that they have grown into a better team for this season. The best way to place a bet here is on the Packers to cover the spread in this game.

"Yeah, I've seen enough to be confident in him. If that's what you're asking: Do I have confidence in him? Absolutely." - Matt LaFleur on their rookie kicker Brayden Narveson this season.

“We’re going to Brazil to play, and that’s what it is, and we’re excited about that. We’re excited about the opportunity to play in a neutral site, and having a slightly different schedule of things that happen — like, you have a mini-bye coming off of it. So, there are a lot of positives in it. And, it’s also to spread the game to a new country which is exciting.” - Nick Sirianni on his team playing their season opener in Brazil.
