Why the Eagles can cover

Following a Super Bowl appearance in the 2022-23 season, the Eagles jumped out to a10-1 start last season and looked like the clear frontrunners once again in the NFC. However, the wheels fell off down the stretch, with Philadelphia losing five of six to close out the regular season and then getting obliterated 32-9 against the Buccaneers during NFL Wild Card Weekend. Now the Eagles are welcoming in two new coordinators with designs on righting the ship.

Vic Fangio will take over defensively and he should have an improved secondary with Darius Slay back from injury, C.J. Gardner-Johnson signing in free agency and the Eagles spending their first two picks on cornerbacks (Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean). Meanwhile, Kellen Moore was also given a revamped personnel group, with Saquon Barkley and Jahan Dotson joining a skill group that already includes Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert. Even with the loss of Jason Kelce, this looks like an improved roster overall and the Eagles should be back near the top of the NFC again in 2024.

Why the Packers can cover

Green Bay started rolling offensively at the end of last season, ranking third in success rate from Weeks 10 to 18. Quarterback Jordan Love threw for at least 215 yards in 12 consecutive games prior to a narrow loss to San Francisco in the NFC Divisional Round. The Packers went 8-4 against the spread as underdogs last season, and Love will face an inexperienced Philadelphia secondary.

The Packers also have a new workhorse running back in Josh Jacobs, who has proven himself as one of the best backs in the league in recent seasons. Philadelphia lost five of its final six games last season, getting blown out by Tampa Bay in the playoffs. The Eagles had a losing record against the spread (7-9-2) and were just 6-7-2 as favorites, while Green Bay covered in four of its final five games and is 12-6 ATS in its last 18 games against NFC opponents.
