Packers vs. Falcons: NFL Week 2 Early Odds & Picks (2023)
It was only Week 1. Don’t panic. The Giants are better than what they displayed on Sunday Night. The Cincinnati Bengals will put up many points throughout the season with Joe Burrow under center. There’s no doubt in my mind. Again, it’s just one week! Here are three bets to consider for Week 2 of the NFL season. And below is a closer look at Packers vs. Falcons.

Green Bay Packers vs. Atlanta Falcons
The Green Bay Packers didn’t miss a beat. They no longer have Aaron Rodgers, but Jordan Love’s season debut was perfect. Love added 245 passing yards and three touchdowns despite Christian Watson being unavailable in that game.
Watson could return for Week 2; his status is still up in the air. But the Packers looked dominant, not just on offense but on defense as well. The Packers held the Bears to 20 points and allowed only 122 yards on the ground. That’s incredible, especially knowing how good Justin Fields is at rushing the football.
On the other hand, the Falcons picked up a 24-10 win over the Carolina Panthers. This result was a bit more expected. However, the Falcons allowed 300 yards on defense and gained just 245 yards on offense. Drake London was nowhere to be found as WR1 for the Falcons.
That’s concerning.
I’m sure the Falcons will also get Bijan Robinson more touches as the weeks go on and he’ll be the one playmaker for the team. But that won’t be enough. Take the Packers on the road at -1.
Bet: Packers -1 (-110)
