T.M. Selection: PHI vs GB - UNDER

I am on the UNDER in the Philadelphia Eagles vs Green Bay Packers game in Brazil on Friday. This is unfamiliar territory for each team as well as the NFL. I don't expect either offense to be too comfortable in this one, especially early on. The Eagles will be looking to establish the run with Saquon Barkley. At the same time, Philly was so disappointing in the way they finished last season that I am certain that the Eagles D is going to be looking for redemption immediately this season. Hungry and attacking on defense for Philadelphia and also Green Bay allowed only about 21 ppg last season. Also, the Packers will be all about the defense here too with their new defensive coordinator. Points will be hard to come by here in a hard-fought battle and I like fading the big number here and going with the under in this one. I think both offenses are going to face some tough blitzing challenges from what I am reading here and the run game for each will be key on offense.

T.M. Prediction: 20-17 Eagles.

Line: O/U 49.5
