The Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles open their seasons in the NFL’s first South American game Friday. Kickoff from Corinthians Arena in Sao Paulo, Brazil is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET (Peacock). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Packers vs. Eagles odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Packers went 2-1 in the preseason after taking care of the Baltimore Ravens 30-7 in their final game Aug. 24. QB Jordan Love saw just 2 snaps throughout the preseason. Green Bay is hoping for Love to continue to develop this season, alongside the addition of RB Josh Jacobs, in hopes of making a deeper run into the playoffs.
The Eagles went 2-1 in the preseason after dropping their final game 26-3 against the Minnesota Vikings Aug. 24. QB Jalen Hurts did not see any action in the preseason, while new backup QB Kenny Pickett led the way. Over the offseason, C Jason Kelce announced his retirement, which many believe may impact the success of the Tush Push that Philadelphia found so successful last year.

Packers vs. Eagles picks and predictions
Prediction
Eagles 20, Packers 13
Moneyline
PASS.
The spread has better value on Philadelphia.
Against the spread
BET EAGLES -1.5 (-120).
While the Packers have made significant offseason improvements, including the addition of Jacobs, the Eagles offense will prove to be too much for Green Bay’s defense. With the addition of RB Saquon Barkley alongside receivers such as WR A.J. Brown, Philadelphia has the edge Friday. At 1.5 points, a Philadelphia win will mean a cover in most scenarios.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 49.5 (-120).
While both teams have high-octane offensive capabilities, the fatigue of traveling to Brazil will have an imminent impact on the total. Many players on both sides have expressed reluctance to travel to Brazil. While there may be a lot of scoring early, expect both teams to settle in and force crucial stops that will minimize scoring.
