Deal To Play Even More Games signed by the NFL and the UK

Many will wish to see the NFL games being played abroad and especially London fans. Well, their dream may come true as in a short distance future, each NFL team will have a chance to participate in abroad match in a season.

The NFL claimed that it has been accorded the privilege of staging three NFL games in three years as from next year at the London’s Twickenham Stadium. This is the main English rugby union for men stadium. This marks an initial beginning with more matches expected to be staged in the stadium in coming years.

This comes barely two week after NFL claimed that it had acquired a deal that would see two matches being played in Wembley Stadium up to 2020. This is however expected to accrue another five years in the deal.

This means that about 31% of the NFL will be played abroad with a game played at the Twickenham in 2018. Jacksonville Jaguars who are owned by Shahid Khan who also owns Championship side Fulham will see their games being played in London up to 2020.

The aspect of expanding the NFL game is not done yet as next year the league will stage a game in Mexico City. Reports from a Spanish sports newspaper AS claim that 2017 and 2018 will see a NFL game being played in the City each season. Roger Goodell also claimed that there is a possibility that a game will be staged in Germany which was considered the first priority market for the league. Elsewhere, Brazil is believed to host the Pro Bowl in 2017.

Among Basketball, Hockey, Baseball and Football which are considered the top four games in the Americans, its only football which has the least exposure in the international level and this explains why the NFL is so aggressive in staging what it has in store at the international level.

The saturated aspect of NFL has showcased that a foreigner can’t be a diehard fan once in the Americans but the league will have to go an extra mile in forcing itself in the international market to win the loyalty of foreign based fans and staging matches abroad is seen as the best way to oversee this.

What bettors are predicting for the Rugby World Cup

The long awaited event is here with us and it will take six weeks for punters to engage in live betting for the event across all bookmakers. The Rugby World Cup 2015 kicks off this Friday with host England Entertaining mighty Fiji in match one. There are 20 teams in total but the big question is where you as a bettor will place your money?

As per now, many gamblers are betting on England, France, South Africa and New Zealand booking places in the semi finals with the most anticipated final match on 31st of October sees England take on New Zealand. However, Spreadex thinks that New Zealand will be crowned the tournament’s winner.

The outright Index awards points to teach on basis of their performance and the position they are at the end of the tournament. The winner is awarded 100 points, runners up 80 points, third place 60, fourth place 50, and losers in the quarter finals are accorded with 25 points each while third place and fourth placed teams in the group stages are given 10 and 5 points respectively. On that note, All Blacks lead the platform with 74-77 points whereas host England come in second with 52-55 points.

Ireland are not expected by many buyers to reach the semis with 48-51 but punters attention is on South Africa 49-52 and France 37-40.
