“This is Brasil!”
Packers-Eagles is just hours from kicking off in São Paulo, yet there’s been no mention of a potential Dominic Toretto sighting. Unfortunate, but we do have an adequate replacement.
DraftKings Sportsbook bettors have been casting their picks for tonight’s NFL game between the Packers and Eagles. Below, you’ll find some of the trends associated with the bets being made on DraftKings Sportsbook for this game.
Game splits
Moneyline
After opening as +130 underdogs, the Packers are +110 to win their opening game on Friday. Meanwhile, the Eagles have gone from -155 favorites to -130 favs.
That could be the result of Green Bay receiving 35% of the moneyline handle for this game while only getting 31% of the bets. Philadelphia is the popular play (69% of bets), but the Packers getting a greater percentage of handle than bets indicates the sharps are with Green Bay on the ML.
Spread
The Eagles are getting 74% of the handle for the spread bets while receiving 65% of those bets. Again, more handle than bets indicates this is where the sharps lean. However, it is worth noting that despite the action this play has gotten, the Eagles went from being a 3-point favorite to just a 2-point favorite. The spread shifting to help an already popular play is noteworthy if you’re still looking to bet on this play.
Total
This game total has dipped down from its opening mark of 51.5 to 49.5. This play has been a bit tighter in the splits department, with the under getting 53% of the handle and 54% of the bets.
Popular props
Eagles fans aren’t the only ones looking forward to watching Saquon Barkley on Friday.
In the following markets, Barkley has the most-bet prop (odds for each play included):
- First TD Scorer (+550)
- Anytime TD Scorer (-115)
- 2+ TD Scorer (+475)
For First TD scorer specifically, Barkley has received 33% of the handle and 41% of bets. Josh Jacobs (+750) has received the second-highest percentage of handle in the market at 13% (11% of bets). Jalen Hurts (+550) has received the second-highest percentage of bets in the market at 11% (13% of handle).
Outside non-touchdown picks for tonight’s NFL game, Barkley also has the most-bet player prop. DraftKings Sportsbook bettors are most invested in Barkely to log 50+ rushing yards (-260).
Trends to note
In each of the Eagles’ last three games (two regular season and one postseason), the first scoring play has been an opposing field goal. DraftKings Sportsbook bettors can bet on the Packers to make it four in a row.
Those looking to add this play to their group of picks for tonight’s NFL game will find this play in the “1st of Game” market. As of writing, the odds on that play hitting are +350 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
