Why Dan picked the Packers: If these teams pick up where they left off last season, Green Bay will cruise in Brazil. I’m presuming the Eagles left full-on collapse mode behind in January, though, so this should be an entertaining matchup on the international stage. I don’t have a strong feeling on who has the edge here. There is no doubt Philadelphia has the talent to beat a Packers team that surged down the stretch in 2023, but in Week 1, I’m picking Jordan Love and Co. because of the continuity they enjoy, particularly on offense. Yes, Matt LaFleur has new players on his team like every other squad does at the start of the season, but the Eagles are replacing the heartbeat of their franchise, Jason Kelce, and have new coordinators on both sides of the ball, with Jalen Hurts learning an offense that was “95 percent new” to him. I’m not sure it’s all going to click right off the bat. If it does, the Packers (and the rest of the league) will be in trouble.
