Week 1 Lock
Week 1 Lock
This week’s game suggests a low-scoring affair for multiple reasons. With both teams adjusting to new environments and facing disruptions, the under seems like a solid play. The Eagles have new coordinators and key offensive changes, while the Packers are dealing with defensive adjustments and relying heavily on the run game. The market indicates an under trend, making it a smart bet.
If you missed the opening total, don’t worry. Play the under 49.5 for a solid wager.

Let’s have some fun with a long shot bet that makes sense. While aiming for a two-touchdown day may be too ambitious, finding a favorable matchup for the Eagles’ offense can lead to a high payout. With talents like DeVonta Smith and Saquon Barkley, the Eagles have the potential to put points on the board against the Packers.
Watch out for Smith facing favorable matchups with the Packers’ defense, giving him opportunities to shine. With his speed and skills, Smith is poised for a big game, making a two-touchdown performance a realistic possibility.
The Long Shot: DeVonta Smith 2 TDs +1200 (Caesars)
