The NFL season begins, and in the first week, we will have a new scenario, as the Green Bay Packers and the Philadelphia Eagles will be playing in São Paulo, Brazil.
That’s right, the NFL continues to expand and adds a new country to its international experiences. It has already had several games in London, and Mexico City, as well as one in Munich and two in Frankfurt, both cities in Germany. Well, it is adding Brazil to its list in what will be the first official American football game in South America.
It will be a great spectacle featuring singer Anitta in the halftime show. Kicker Cairo Santos, currently with the Chicago Bears, is the only Brazilian to have played an official game in the NFL.

Why Bet on the Green Bay Packers?
Despite being eliminated in the Divisional Playoffs, the performance of the Green Bay Packers last season was positive, not only qualifying for the playoffs but eliminating the Dallas Cowboys in the first round. They later fell against the runners-up, theSan Francisco 49ers, after a bad last quarter where they allowed ten points without response.
The Packers will once again be led by Jordan Love, who had a very good 2023, and itis expected that all the experience gained in his first season as the starting quarterback will pay off, in addition to having a new and juicy contract. He only played a few minutes in the preseason, so he is rested.
It is a young team but with some experience, and for this year, they added running back Josh Jacobs to contribute to the offense, while Emanuel Wilson stood out in recent weeks and may be one of the surprises. They had a good preseason, beating the Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Ravens, and losing to the Denver Broncos.
Why Bet on the Philadelphia Eagles?
Much more was expected from the Philadelphia Eagles last season, but they had a dismal close to the campaign. Six losses in seven games, including a 32-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the first game of the postseason.
Undoubtedly, it was a hard blow for a team that one season ago was playing in the Super Bowl, losing to the Kansas City Chiefs with a field goal with eight seconds left. Those results caused several changes in the team, such as the dismissal of some coaches, including the offensive and defensive coordinator.
Thisnot only affected the staff but also the players since a lot of money was invested in bringing in important figures, where running back Saquon Barkley, who comes from the New York Giants, stands out. In addition to him, some outstanding players who arrived are defensive back Bryce Huff and safety C. J. Gardner-Johnson.
Jalen Hurts is expected to recover the level that took the team to the final, not the one he finished last season with. In this preseason, they beat the Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots while they lost to the Minnesota Vikings.
On the other hand, Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox, historical players who played their entire careers with the team for 13 and 12 years, respectively, both being Super Bowl LII champions, retired.

Final Betting Analysis: Packers vs. Eagles
The last time they played was on November 27, 2022, and the Eagles won 40-33. This will be the second international game for both, as the two played in London. While Green Bay lost to the New York Giants at Tottenham Stadium in 2022, Philadelphia beat the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley in 2018.
The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have the Eagles as the favorite. Their Moneyline shows 1.67 and the Packers have 2.25.
First game of the season and in distant lands, so the fans are divided, change of weather, jet lag, new teammates… there are many condiments, but we believe that the Eagles will have extra pressure for what they did last season that will play against them. Meanwhile, Jordan Love will have a great level to lead the Packers to victory.
Go for a win for the Packers. If you bet $100 at 2.25, you will gain $125 for a total payout of $225.
