El fútbol americano de la NFL ha llegado a Brasil.
For the first time in NFL history, a regular season game will be played in Brazil. The city of São Paulo will open Corinthians Arena to the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles who will kick off their seasons on Friday night.
“This landmark first international game in South America demonstrates the ongoing expansion of our global footprint,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a press release . “Playing on Friday night of Week 1 is a unique way to highlight our international growth and ambitions.”
Betting line and pick for the game
Philadelphia is the favorite in this game and the folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook have set the betting line at Eagles -2.5
While I am absolutely rooting for the Eagles to win this game, I can’t stop thinking of how they imploded down the stretch last season. Yes, I know you’re supposed to throw last season out the window, but did Philadelphia do enough in the offseason to correct their issues? I’m not sure. Meanwhile, the Packers didn’t knock it out of the park in the offseason either, but this was a steadily improving team as their youth gained experience and they did get better with their additions. Therefore, I’m taking the Packers and the points.
Prediction: Packers 24, Eagles 21.
