The NFL goes global Friday Night on Peacock when the Philadelphia Eagles and the Green Bay Packers square off in Sao Paolo, Brazil in a key NFC contest. This is the league’s first game in South America in its history.
The Eagles will be looking to start fast after a dreadful finish last season when they did qualify for the playoffs but got smacked in the Wild Card round by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Packers will look to carry all of the momentum earned from their late season winning streak and playoff push that resulted in a postseason win over Dallas and parlay it all into a quick start in 2024.

Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) likes the additions Philadelphia made on defense this past offseason:
“I’m just going to go with the Eagles on the Moneyline. Why? Because I like the changes they made in the secondary. That was their weak point bringing in Quinyon Mitchell, CJ Gardner-Johnson, and oh yeah, I know he is hurt and will miss Game 1, but I love another of their additions, Devin White to anchor that linebacker corps.”
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes an Eagle from the offensive side of the ball:
“I love the addition of Saquon Barkley. That’s where I’m staying because he’s going to score a touchdown in his debut. Not only will his red zone touches double with the Eagles, they may even triple with the Eagles, and that’s going to start here in this game. So, I think for a price of +100 to -110 Saquon Barkley, that’s good money.
