    The Week 1 NFL schedule looks different in 2024 with the league adding a Friday game in Sao Paulo, Brazil between the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers. Both teams are coming off a playoff season and have committed more $200 million to their young quarterbacks, with Jalen Hurts cashing in for the Eagles in 2023 and Jordan Love signing his extension this summer with the Packers. Now, the NFC contenders will have a standalone, primetime matchup to launch their 2024 campaigns.

    Kickoff from Neo Quimica Arena in Sao Paolo is set for 8:15 p.m. ET.

    Why the Eagles can cover

    Philadelphia won the NFC in 2022 and got off to a 10-1 start in 2023, but the wheels came off late in the season. The Eagles lost five of their last six games, lost control of home-field advantage, lost the division to the Cowboys, and were dismantled by the Buccaneers during NFL Wild Card Weekend. However, they've taken dramatic steps to remedy some of their issues.

    Saquon Barkley should bolster an offense that scored fewer than 20 points in five of the last seven games, including the postseason. Meanwhile, the Eagles spent first- and second-round picks on defensive backs (Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean) in an effort to strengthen a secondary that ranked 31st against the pass. If Jalen Hurts can cut down on turnovers as well, this still figures to be a contender in the NFC. See who to back at SportsLine .

    Why the Packers can cover

    The Eagles might've had the better regular season record at 11-6 last year, but if there's any momentum carryover from last year, it belongs to the Packers. Despite its 9-8 regular-season mark, Green Bay finished the year hot, winning six of its final eight regular season games. Green Bay then stunned the Cowboys 48-32 in the Wild-Card Round before falling 24-21 to the 49ers in the divisional round.

    Philly gave up 30.6 points per game in its final seven contests last year, the second-worst mark in the NFL during that stretch. The Packers, meanwhile, were the youngest team to win a playoff game since 1970 last year, and they bring a majority of that roster back, plus the addition of veteran running back Josh Jacobs, giving them a great chance to win or at least cover as slight underdogs.
