    Packers vs. Eagles in Sao Paulo Preview

    The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Baltimore Ravens on season opening night and it was a doozy. Strong enough that Isiah Likely proved to be the least interesting tight-end (again). Lamar Jackson played with an extreme heart and got punched with KC’s odds of winning.

    But now it is a different day and on to Sao Paulo as the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers get set to face each other.

    The Eagles come into this year with a new pass rush featuring Jalen Carter, Bryce Huff, Josh Sweat, and others. The Packers are the youngest team in the NFL so watch out for what a veteran Josh Jacobs might even display at this stage of his career.

    The Packers ended last year with a surprise playoff win over the Eagles’ nemesis (DAL) and proved their defense not to be a bust. Jaire Alexander is a second All-Pro team corner who also now works with Saquon Barkley’s friend, Xavier McKinney.

    There is some good joy to go around, Brazil but nothing like two teams striving to become the top team in the entire NFC this year. If Eagles coach Nick Sirianni does not stay too conservative, Philly has a good chance of winning.

    Philadelphia wins over Green Bay: 30-20.
