NFL Week 1 preview: Green Bay Packers vs. Philadelphia Eagles | Chris Simms Unbuttoned | NFL on NBC

Friday night in sou Paulo Brazil X is banned the Eagles and the Packers will be there we both like the Packers to make it to the Super Bowl so I assume we both like the Packers to make it to one and0 well hey I I I do I do I'm I'm going with the Packers here as well I think two of the most talented teams in the in the game on on both sides of the ball right so I don't look at this at all and go o even though I probably say the Eagles roster is better I think the Packers roster is a top five roster in football too so it's not like oh they're outclassed to such a capacity here that I'm worried about them but a little bit with the Eagles too is there's just a few more moving Parts new DC new OC right the bad taste of you get last year out of your mouth and all that you know the Packers I think yeah okay they lost the divisional playoff game to the 49ers but there was more to be positive about and feeling good and puffing your chest out I do think Jordan love will certainly be more comfortable early in the year than he was last year Josh Jacobs adding him to the Run game right I think is going to be scary and I do think with this Packers defense right uh they they have the horses up front to not be overpowered by The Eagles offensive line they got corners on the edge to do that they got a lot of depth on the front seven so I like how they match up there A lot of times I go oo this team can't play with the Eagles they're going to steamroll them it's going to compromise them and have to do things they don't want to do on defense I don't see that and I'm going to say the Eagles you know have a little rust on them getting used to the new Big fangio defense and Kell MO offense I almost didn't pick the Eagles to make the playoffs but for the fact that they're in the NFC E I was like well if they don't win it who will yeah right I I might have if they were in a different division I might have left them out I'm concerned that whatever went wrong last year hasn't been fixed until I see that it has been I'm going to be concerned it hasn't been yes there's two new coordinators but the head coach is the same and the head coach was ultimately responsible for whatever that mess was last year after they go 10 and one they collapse down the stretch they get embarrassed by the Buccaneers in the playoffs so I know a lot of people are just going to say well and hey you you say it all the time they have one of the most talented rosters in the NFL right it doesn't matter when it's time to play the games if you're going to find a way to Short Circuit Jordan love is on the cusp of superstardom I know he's gotten the huge contract now and maybe maybe teams will catch up to I don't know I mean he got better as the season went on last year so% once there was film out there about Jordan love he came up with a way to defy it and transcend it and have a great finish to the season I think he's going to be great adding Josh Jacobs as you mentioned that's not something that the Packers traditionally do it's usually the defensive side when they go out and spend money on a veteran they spent the money on Josh Jacobs upgrades the running game the passing game they've got a collection yeah they don't have a number one guy that's a positive because you're not forced to focus on one guy I I think they are going to be really good this year and they're going to start it off I got 3431 I I'm just kind of rooting for a high scoring game in Brazil and I hope the people in Brazil realize what they're getting of all the turds we've sent to London sorry l the 1 years CRA games losing teams they're getting a great game out of the gates that could be I've got a playoff rematch the Packers and Eagles and like the divisional round but they could cross pass in the NFC Championship 100% I I I think they're qual these two teams are that type of quality definitely I'm going Packers 24-20 I don't think it'll be quite as high scoring um but you never know in these these first games of the year you don't know and uh I'm I'm excited for it nonetheless being in Brazil and us getting to do the pregame on Friday night and all that it's going to be awwesome from bra bra are we going to Brazil do I know am I getting on this plane tonight and it's going to take bra wish they would I would love to see you get on I have a problem damn you don't have a passport I don't have a passp we've talked about this before I haven't needed one I haven't I haven't needed one I don't need to leave the country this is the greatest country on Earth there's no reason to leave it although I do want to go to Italy yo yo homies thanks for watching yeah it's time the NFL season is here on Chris Sims unbutton you can hit subscribe to get all the weekly picks plus our Sunday Recaps as the games are happening oh you know it Nobody Does that better than us thanks again for watching Remember to subscribe peace out we'll see you next time on unbutton
