The Green Bay Packers Team Preview
The Green Bay Packers won 9 games last year and entered year 6 under coach Matt LaFleur. The Packers have made the playoffs in 4 of the last 5 seasons and enter this season with increased expectations. The emergence of quarterback Jordan Love has done wonders for the Packers, as he threw for 4,100 yards and 32 touchdowns last season. Assuming Love can avoid a sophomore slump, it looks like the Packers have struck gold at the QB position again, a franchise that had Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers. The Packers also added running back Josh Jacobs, giving the offense a more reliable ground attack. It’s also another year of wide receivers Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs, as that chemistry continues to grow.
The Packers defense is pretty solid in the front, thanks to Rashan Gary, Preston Smith, and Kenny Clark who together got 24.5 sacks last season. The back part is not as strong, especially the linebackers, but adding safety Xavier McKinney does help the secondary. Green Bay would be bummed if they don't make it to the playoffs again. Next up for the Packers are the Colts.

The Philadelphia Eagles Team Preview
The Philadelphia Eagles have made the playoffs in each of the last three seasons and enter year four under coach Nick Sirianni. The Eagles now look to win double-digit games for three straight years for the first time since 2002-04. The Eagles offense has the potential to be scary good, with Jalen Hurts blossoming into one of the better quarterbacks in the league and now having an elite running game with the addition of Saquon Barkley. A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith are a top-five wide receiver duo, and maybe DeVante Parker or Parris Campbell can find a role. The Eagles have interior offensive line concerns, but the offense in terms of skill players is arguably the best in the league.
Have you seen that The Eagles defense got a new coordinator, Vic Fangio, and they've added some fresh faces to the linebacker group like Devin White, Zack Baun, and Oren Burks. Plus, they went all-in on defense during the draft, picking up Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, and Jalyx Hunt. Cornerback Chauncey Gardner-Johnson is back in Philly after a stint in Detroit. With all these changes, the Eagles' defense might need some time to click, but hey, they're still considered a top contender with those top-five Super Bowl odds. Looks like the Eagles are shaping up to be one of the NFL's strongest teams, at least on paper!
