The Green Bay Packers and the Atlanta Falcons, both sitting at 1-0, are slated to face off in what promises to be an exciting Week 2 NFL encounter. 

The Packers pulled off one of the most eye-catching victories in Week 1, stunning the Chicago Bears on the road. The talk of the town was new quarterback Jordan Love, who delivered a scintillating performance by completing 15 of 27 passes for 245 yards and three touchdowns. 

Aaron Jones was also a key figure, rushing for 41 yards and a touchdown, while also catching two passes for an additional 86 yards and another score. Rookie tight end Luke Musgrave had a solid debut, catching three passes for 50 yards.

On the defensive side, the Packers were relentless, sacking Bears' QB Justin Fields four times and intercepting him once for a touchdown. Facing a second consecutive road game, Green Bay will be keen to maintain its winning form before heading home to host the Saints and Lions.

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Falcons will likely stick to their ground game, with Desmond Ridder as more of a game manager than a prolific passer. In Week 1, he completed 15 of 18 throws for 115 yards and a touchdown. 

Running backs Tyler Allgeier and Bijan Robinson had standout performances; Allgeier scored twice and Robinson once. Their combined efforts contributed to the Falcons' fifth-best league rushing total of 130 yards in Week 1.

It's a match-up of contrasting styles and burgeoning talents, setting the stage for an enthralling contest.

Both teams displayed offensive potency in their Week 1 games. The Packers put up 38 points, and the Falcons weren't too shabby with 24 points against the Panthers. 

Given the offensive talents on both sides and the likelihood of defensive lapses, betting the over could be a good play here.

Green Bay Packers over 20.5 points (-110) at Draftkings

In their season opener, Green Bay surprised many by triumphing over the Bears on the road, with Jordan Love turning in an impressive performance that included three passing touchdowns. 

The Packers will continue their road trip as they face off against the Atlanta Falcons, who also secured a win and covered the spread against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. 

Given that both teams racked up at least 24 points in their initial games, it's reasonable to expect the Packers to match or surpass that total in this upcoming matchup.

Green Bay Packers -1 (-112) at FanDuel

Given their impressive performance in Week 1 and the seamless transition to new QB Jordan Love, the Packers appear to be the stronger team. 

They're playing a second consecutive road game, but the momentum from their Week 1 blowout win against the Bears should carry over.
