HOURS, MY FRIEND. >> AND SO ARE WE BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR RESIDENT DANCER IN HERE WITH US NOW. KORNACKI IS HERE WITH A BREAKDOWN OF THIS BIG ACTION. I KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN DANCING ALL MORNING. >> DID THAT ONE FOR YOU ESPECIALLY AL. BUT AFTER A START LIKE LAST NIGHT, I MEAN, COME ON. >> SO LET'S START. SO INTERNATIONALLY, THIS IS BIG TONIGHT AND HISTORIC, RIGHT? >> YEAH. YOU GO THROUGH ARROWHEAD IN MISSOURI DOWN TO SAO PALO BRAZIL TONIGHT. IT WILL BE THE PACKERS AND THE EAGLES. A COUPLE THINGS HISTORIC HERE. FIRST TIME EVER THEY WILL HAVE A REGULAR SEASON GAME IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE. THIS IS ALSO THE FIRST TIME THERE HAS BEEN A "FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS." IT'S FOR HIGH SCHOOL, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST FRIDAY NIGHT NFL GAME IN WEEK ONE OF THE SEASON IN 54 YEARS. 1970 WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HAD SOMETHING LIKE THIS. SO IN A MATCHUP, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE TWO TEAMS OBVIOUSLY, PLAYOFF TEAMS LAST YEAR. OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS THEY KIND OF FINISH THE SEASON. THE EAGLES WERE SPUTTERING. THE PACKERS GOT INTO THE PLAYOFFS AT 9-8. AND THEN THEY CRUSHED THE DALLAS COWBOYS. AND IN A NARROW LOSS TO THE NINERS, SEEM TO BE GOING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. WE'LL SEE HOW THAT GAME PLAYS OUT TONIGHT. YES, IT IS THE FIRST IN A NUMBER OF INTERNATIONAL NFL GAMES WE WILL SEE THIS YEAR. >> THAT'S ALL THIS YEAR. >> THAT'S JUST THIS SEASON. THIS IS THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. IT IS THE FIRST ONE OF THESE. YOU WANT THE PACKERS AND THE JAGS? TICKETS MIGHT BE AVAILABLE WITH THE WAY THAT'S GOING THIS YEAR. I DON'T KNOW. >> WOW! >> I GET IT. I GET IT. I KNOW. I KNOW. >> WE HAD 20 GREAT YEARS. WE'RE PAYING FOR IT NOW. I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING. >> BUT, YEAH, ALL IN LONDON. MUNICH HAS A GAME, GIANTS/PANTHERS NEXT YEAR. >> LET'S GO TO NBC. >> HOW ABOUT THIS ONE? THIS IS BECOMING QUITE A RIVALRY HERE. YOU HAVE THE RAMS AND THE LIONS. THE QUARTERBACK BACK STORY TO THIS ONE. FOR YEARS, THE FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK OF THE DETROIT LIONS WAS MATTHEW STAFFORD. A COUPLE YEARS AGO HE FIGURED, I'M NEVER GOING TO WIN THAT SUPER BOWL IN DETROIT. HE ASKS FOR A TRADE. THEY TRADE HIM TO THE RAMS. HE WINS THE SUPER BOWL. WHAT DOES GOFF DO? HE TAKES THE LIONS TO HEIGHTS THEY NEVER REALLY BEFORE HAVE BEEN. IN A LONG TIME LAST YEAR ALMOST TO THE SUPER BOWL. AND HERE THEY ARE SQUARING OFF IN DETROIT SUNDAY NIGHT. I LIKE THE LIONS. >> OKAY. DO YOU HAVE SOME TRIVIA? >> YEAH. HERE WE GO. NOW I THINK WE SET THIS ONE UP, DYLAN. I DON'T WANT TO GIVE ANYTHING AWAY HERE, BUT HERE'S YOUR QUESTION. LOOKING AT THE ODDS, WHICH TEAM HAS THE LONGEST SHOT OF WINNING THE SUPER BOWL THIS YEAR? IS IT GIANTS? IS IT THE PATRIOTS? OR IS IT TEXAS? >> IT WILL FEED HER TO ANSWER THIS. >> I KNOW. BUT IT IS THE PATRIOTS. >> ANYONE DISAGREE WITH THIS? >> NOT REALLY. >> IT IS THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS. >> IS THAT 5,000? >> WHAT IT MEANS IS IT IS ESSENTIALLY 350 TO 1. THOSE ARE THE ODDS FOR THE PATRIOTS TO WIN THE SUPER BOWL. >> GIANTS DOING GOOD. >> 350 TO 1 MIGHT BE A LITTLE TOO LOW. >> TOO LOW? WOW! THERE WERE SOME LEAN YEARS IN NEW ENGLAND A LONG TIME AGO. THEN THEY COULDN'T LOSE. NOW WE'RE BACK TO THE LEAN YEARS. >> GREAT SCOTT! ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, STEVE KORNACKI. >> YOU GOT IT. >>> YOU CAN WATCH THE PACKERS
