The Philadelphia Eagles season begins in a spot where an NFL game has never been played.
The NFL is shipping the Eagles and Green Bay Packers to Sao Paulo, Brazil to not just open the season at an international site, but on a Friday as well.
Nothing is normal about the setting of the game, but there is still some data we can pull to potentially figure out how the Packers/Eagles matchup will go.
Results across the various NFL international sites have varied over the years.
For example, the three games played in Germany all have had fewer than 40 points, but all of the contests played in Mexico City surged over the 40-point mark.
