Sportsbooks Seeing Money Soaring toward Eagles In NFL's Brazil Game
Following Thursday night's NFL season-opening thriller in Kansas City, sports wagerers don't need to wait up until Sunday for more action.

And while Ravens-Chiefs saw a lot of action on both sides, Packers-Eagles is getting the opposite impact.
"Another video game with a close wagering line of Philadelphia -2.5. However, the action is much various," 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 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 manage at BetMGM, and they're getting 72% of the bets and 77% of the deal with.
DraftKings reported comparable splits 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.
