Trust me on this I have some very US sports savy friends over their who would be your target demographic, they will watch NFL or even hockey on TV but they are all season ticket holders to premiership clubs and wouldn't miss a night game at Arsenal to attend a hockey game.
Hell the league can't sell hockey to most of the US at this point.

Agreed, even for NFL 1 game in London is great but 8 games? The NFL still isn't quite sure yet.
41 NHL games in London? Average attendance would be worse than Abbotsford.
