Sportsbooks Seeing Money Soaring Towards Eagles In NFL's Brazil Game
Following Thursday night's NFL season-opening thriller in Kansas City, sports bettors don't need to wait till Sunday for more action.
The NFL set up 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 presently 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 result.
"Another game with a close betting line of Philadelphia -2.5. However, the action is much various," bet365 trading leader Aron Wattleworth said. "(The Eagles) are seeing approximately 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 terms of wagers and handle at BetMGM, and they're getting 72% of the bets and 77% of the handle.
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 today.

Challenging total
Very little has occurred with the point total for this Week 1 Friday night face-off in terms of line motion. An unknown, neutral location in a various nation with tough logistics and high elevation could be causing no clear-cut over or under.
BetMGM opened the overall at 48.5 and its only ticked up a half-point. That's with 58% of the bets and 53% of the manage can be found in on the under.
BetMGM stated this game is the most-bet under in regards to tickets of the week so far.
ESPN BET is divided down the middle on wagers, but the over is getting a little less than 50% of the cash.
Prop markets
New Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is a popular pick in the "Anytime Touchdown Scorer" market. The previous New york city Giant rush at -130 remains in the top-3 bet count for this video game at FanDuel.
