    Why the Eagles can cover

    The Eagles added one of the NFL's best running backs this offseason. Saquon Barkley signed a three-year, $37.75 million contract that could be worth up to $46.75 million and included $26 million fully guaranteed at signing. Barkley has rushed for more than 5,200 yards while racking up 47 total touchdowns in his first six seasons in the NFL. He'll join a Philadelphia offense that is loaded with proven playmakers, including Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

    Hurts struggled with turnovers last season, throwing 15 interceptions, but he was one of the most effective running quarterbacks in the league, finishing with 15 rushing touchdowns. Brown hauled in 106 receptions for 1,456 yards and seven touchdowns in 2023, while Smith also had seven receiving TDs and more than 1,000 receiving yards. The Eagles will look to take advantage of a Packers defense that gave up 335.1 yards per game last season, which ranked 17th in the NFL. See who to back at SportsLine .

    Why the Packers can cover

    Green Bay got off to a disappointing 3-6 start in 2023 and some fans were wondering if the organization had made the right decision moving on from Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. However, Jordan Love came on strong in the second half, completing 70.3% of his passes for 2,150 yards and 20 touchdowns with only one interception over his final eight games. He also led Green Bay to a playoff win and nearly upset the 49ers in the divisional round, which helped him earn a four-year, $220 million extension this offseason.

    The Packers have impressive wide receiver depth with Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks, and they'll try to attack an Eagles secondary that ranked second-to-last in the NFL in pass defense. Green Bay has covered the spread in four of its last five games entering the 2024 season and is also 12-6 against the number in its last 18 games against NFC opponents.
