Jon Gruden hasn’t been a head coach in the NFL for a little while, but fans can still turn to a familiar sight in order to hear him talk about football.
He recently launched his own YouTube channel, and on that channel, he is giving his picks as far as who he thinks will win upcoming matchups.
His latest video has him breaking down Friday’s game between the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles, two teams he used to be associated with, which will take place in Brazil.
Gruden said he’s leaning toward the Eagles, partly because they’re loaded with offensive weapons while the Packers have a brand new defensive coordinator.
Philly made a big splash during the offseason by adding star running back Saquon Barkley, and Gruden feels he has a chip on his shoulder because he wants to prove the New York Giants, his old team, made a mistake by not giving him a new contract.
Barkley, wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith and quarterback Jalen Hurts will present a huge challenge for an upstart Packers team.
The Packers were doubted by many at this time last year after trading franchise QB Aaron Rodgers, but Jordan Love, Rodgers’ successor, shined brightly late in the season and drove them to an unexpected playoff berth.
Now, people are expecting a ton out of Green Bay, but objectively speaking, there are still some questions about their team as far as them becoming contenders, especially since their offensive studs are still young and developing.
