The Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles will open the season in a rare Friday night contest, played in São Paulo, Brazil. As the league looks to expand globally, it marks South America’s first opportunity to host an NFL game in front of rabid fans. Both teams were NFC playoff representatives last season and have higher aspirations in 2024. Quarterbacks Jalen Hurts and Jordan Love are the centerpieces of their teams and among the highest paid players in the entire league, making more than $50 million each this season. Both teams also debut new star running backs, Saquon Barkley in Philadelphia and Josh Jacobs in Green Bay. For many reasons, this game is among the most intriguing on the Week 1 slate for anyone making NFL score predictions and NFL predictions.

Top Week 1 NFL picks
After diving into all 16 games from the NFL’s opening week, Cohen is high on one of those Week 1 home upset picks, the Indianapolis Colts over the Houston Texans, 29-26. Indianapolis returns quarterback Anthony Richardson, who missed 13 of 17 games in his rookie season. When he did play, he was a dynamic dual threat player, having scored four rushing touchdowns in his first three games. With running back Jonathan Taylor and Richardson, the Colts are expected to have one of the more prolific rushing attacks in the league this season.
While Houston boasts the defending Offensive Rookie of the year, QB C.J. Stroud and an improving defense, they might have trouble stopping Indianapolis’ potent attack. The Texans were in the bottom ten in pass defense last season and might challenge Richardson to beat them through the year. Cohen is confident that this matchup will be among the most exciting in Week 1. See his other Week 1 football score predictions at SportsLine.
