Live from historic Lambeau Field, the Green Bay Packers host the Detroit Lions in Week 1 of the NFL season!

As of now, the Philadelphia Eagles are favored to win the NFC (+380 on FanDuel), but the Lions (+600) and Packers (+650) are next in line. There are myriad reasons to be optimistic about both teams. Detroit is coming off a sensational 2024-2025 regular season (15-2) before losing to the Washington Commanders in the playoffs, while the Packers just traded for defensive superstar Micah Parsons.

The NFC North is once again stacked. The Bears are on the rise, and the Vikings are hoping that J.J. McCarthy can step in and lead a Minnesota team that finished their 24-25 season with a 14-3 record to the playoffs. The Bears and Vikes will collide tomorrow night on Monday Night Football, while the Lions and Packers meet today on CBS and Paramount+.
