Answer:
Some think that the reason why God preferred Jacob to Esau is that Esau was like a stereotypical athlete due to his clouded judgment whereas Jacob was more like an academically gifted person who preferred to use his brain and good judgment over his brawn.

"While both nations were not perfect, they both were punished accordingly, but while Esau was left in the misery which he had brought upon his own iniquity, Jacob was forgiven and restored"
