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

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


The NFL arranged an early September Friday night video game for the 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 impact.


"Another game with a close betting line of Philadelphia -2.5. However, the action is much different," bet365 trading leader Aron Wattleworth said. "(The Eagles) are seeing roughly 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 at least 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 deal with 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 earlier today.

Just win


Bettors are a little bit more split when it pertains to the straight-out market in Packers vs. Eagles picks. FanDuel has taken 54% of the cash on Philadelphia (-142) to win the game while ESPN BET has seen a higher handle of 68% come in on the Eagles.


The Packers just picked up about 30% of the tickets and deal with when it concerns the moneyline at DraftKings. BetMGM reported Friday early morning that Green Bay is the most-bet underdog of any NFL team in Week 1.
