Sportsbooks Seeing Money Soaring Toward Eagles In NFL's Brazil Game

Following Thursday night's NFL season-opening thriller in Kansas City, sports bettors do not have to wait until Sunday for more action.


The NFL arranged an early September Friday night video game for the very first time in Brazil in between the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles that is currently the league's most-bet video game at BetMGM.


And while Ravens-Chiefs saw plenty of action on both sides, Packers-Eagles is getting the opposite effect.


"Another game with a close wagering line of Philadelphia -2.5. However, the action is much various," bet365 trading leader Aron Wattleworth stated. "(The Eagles) are seeing roughly 78% of all spread-play tickets, with the line opening at -1.5. Now -2.5, the action is clearly siding with Philadelphia, and most likely goes to a minimum of a juiced -2.5 if not light -3 before kickoff on Friday."


The Eagles are the most-bet NFL group for Week 1 in regards to wagers and manage at BetMGM, and they're getting 72% of the bets and 77% of the handle.


DraftKings reported comparable splits with the Eagles even getting 83% of the cash, but ESPN BET had more balance with 59.7% of the wagers and 46.6% of the money on Philadelphia previously this week.
