The 33rd Team is picking Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia Eagles are 3-point favorites on a neutral site (Brazil), which seems a bit extreme. The last time we saw the Eagles, they were blown out by the Buccaneers in the wild-card round. However, the Eagles have been a fantastic September team under Nick Sirrani, with a record of 6-0 in the first month of the year in the last two seasons.
The Eagles should bounce back in 2024, but the Green Bay Packers are a difficult opponent in Week 1. This game could truly go either way, but given their early-season track record, we will lean toward the Eagles.
Score Prediction: Eagles 27, Packers 23
