Why bet on the Eagles?

The Philadelphia Eagles are back on the road to the Super Bowl after a successful 2024 regular season.

They have emerged as the top contenders in the NFC playoffs to compete in their second title game in three seasons. Nick Sirianni’s team has seemingly addressed the issues that plagued them during the 2023 season, and with the addition of Saquon Barkley, the Eagle’s offense is now considered one of the most complete in the league.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts suffered a concussion during Week 16 against Washington. After undergoing a two-week rest period, he is now out of concussion protocol and ready to lead the team once again.

The Eagles finished the regular season with a 14-3 record and wins over the Cowboys (41-7) and Giants (20-13).

Why bet on the Packers?

On the other hand, we have the Green Bay Packers, a team with a complex situation, but still in contention this season. Despite being one of the youngest teams in the league, they have playoff experience led by Matt LaFleur and potentially their quarterback, Jordan Love.

The Packers secured a playoff berth as the seventh seed after facing a lot of problems in their last regular season game against the Chicago Bears at home. The game ended in a disappointing loss to one of the league’s underachieving teams, with the additional setback of quarterback Jordan Love suffering an elbow injury that puts his availability for next weekend in doubt.

In addition, their top receiver, Christian Watson, is out for the remainder of the season due to a torn ACL and is not expected to return until the start of 2025.

However, the Packers are not completely dependent on one player. In a similar situation last year, they made history as the first seventh-seeded team to win a playoff game under the new expanded format, defeating the Dallas Cowboys at Texas.

Now, we have Green Bay’s momentum slowed with losses in their last two games, finishing the regular season with an 11-6 record. The loss to the Bears is troubling, especially considering it was Chicago’s only away win of the season.
