Why the Eagles can cover

Despite struggling offensively late in the season, Philadelphia's primary issue was defensive in 2023. The Eagles ranked 30th in the NFL in scoring defense, 26th in total defense and 31st in pass defense. That's why they invested first and second-round picks in the secondary, drafting Quinyon MItchell with their top pick and then selecting Cooper DeJean in the second round.

They also signed C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Avonte Maddox in free agency and will welcome Darius Slay Jr. back healthy this season, which should lead to a new feel in the back half. On the other side of the ball, the Eagles Saquon Barkely to revitalize the rushing attack and then recently pulled off a trade for Jahan Dotson to improve wide receiver depth behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. See who to back at SportsLine .

Why the Packers can cover

After a Week 10 loss to the Steelers that left the Packers at 3-6, there were some serious questions around Green Bay about whether or not the organization had made the right decision in transitioning from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love at quarterback. However, Love erupted in the second half of the season, completing 70.3% of his passes for 2,150 yards and 20 touchdowns with only one interception over the final eight games.

That performance earned him a four-year, $220 million contract extension this offseason and with Christian Watson finally healthy again, Love has a deep wide receivers' room to work with. Watson, Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks have all shown the ability to produce when called upon and Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft also give Love a pair of capable tight ends to work with. That group of pass-catchers will look to challenge a Philadelphia defense that ranked 31st against the pass in 2023. See who to back at SportsLine .
