 2008
Week 1 NFL Lines
The Week 1 NFL lines
for the 2008/2009
season are now up
and you can actually
bet on them at
SBG Global
The first game -
September 4 -
features the
reigning Super Bowl
champions at home as
a -3 1/2 favorite
against the
Washington Redskins.
Okay, someone forget
to get the memo that
the Giants are the
best team in the
league? Maybe
not. New head
coach at Washington
in Jim Zorn, who
also drafted the
highly-touted
tight-end Fred Davis
from the University
of Southern
California.
The Skins are
looking like a solid
team both
offensively and
defensively.
Still, that line is
crying "BET THE
GIANTS" considering
SBG has made the
Redskins +4000 long
shots to win the
2008 Super Bowl
compared to the
Giants promising a
$2000 payout for
every $100 bet.
Washington would
pay $4000 for every
$100 bet.
The Patriots,
Cowboys, Colts,
Chargers and even
the Packers are
among the favorites
to win this upcoming
season. But
check out these Week
1 NFL line
disparities.
New England is
listed as a huge -14
1/2 favorite against
the Kansas City
Chiefs. They
are at home.
The Chargers are -10
at home against the
Panthers. The
Colts are -9 1/2 at
home against the
Bears.
Most of the 2008
Week 1 NFL lines are
being offered around
-3 and they will
change as the new
season approaches so
the savvy sports
bettor tends to lock
them in now.
The numbers you see
now are yours
provided you
bet them now.
And how about the
Raiders vs. Broncos
Monday night game.
Denver -1 on the
road? Do the
oddsmakers believe
we are in for a
treat with the
Raiders this
upcoming season?
Perhaps.
Oh yeah, and while
we are on the
subject of 2009
Super Bowl betting
futures, how about
those Atlanta
Falcons now being
listed with +1500
odds for a payout
potential of $1500
with every $100 bet.

The National
Football League
hasn't seriously
talked about adding
an expansion team in
quite some time --
so the Atlanta
Falcons went ahead
and became one on
their own.
Yes, they've been
around for decades,
but the Falcons
spent the past six
months talking about
a new start. It's
not just talk.
Almost everything is
new with the
Falcons, and that's
a wonderful thing.
The previous year
was as difficult as
any franchise has
ever had, and owner
Arthur Blank did
everything he could
think of to erase
it. He restructured
his front office and
cut ties with
popular veteran
players Warrick Dunn
and Alge Crumpler as
well as the
not-so-popular
DeAngelo Hall.
But, most important,
Blank brought in the
anti-Bobby Petrino
and the anti-Michael
Vick. New coach Mike
Smith actually talks
to his players, and
rookie quarterback
Matt Ryan doesn't
even own a dog. It
may take a long time
for the Falcons to
fully heal, but
they've done a good
job of covering the
scars left behind by
Petrino and Vick.
Oh we can just taste
the new NFL season
already.
