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

Following Thursday night's NFL season-opening thriller in Kansas City, don't need to wait until Sunday for more action.


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


And while Ravens-Chiefs saw a lot of action on both sides, Packers-Eagles is getting the opposite result.


"Another video game with a close wagering line of Philadelphia -2.5. However, the action is much different," bet365 trading leader Aron Wattleworth said. "(The Eagles) are seeing around 78% of all spread-play tickets, with the line opening at -1.5. Now -2.5, the action is plainly siding with Philadelphia, and 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 terms of wagers and manage at BetMGM, and they're getting 72% of the bets and 77% of the deal with.


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

Challenging total
