bigboydan · 06-13-07, 05:52 PM

Don't get me wrong guys, I'm glad to see that the NFL lines are already out there. However, I'm not going to bet anything this early when we have not even seen any type of training camp reports. Not to mention the injury factors that always seem to pop up during those exhibition games they play in August.

MaxDemo · 06-13-07, 06:06 PM

I'm just glad to see some lines posted because it just means that the games are getting closer and the wait for another season will be over...JMO

Why would you bet a game now? You have no clue who will be playing by then, injuiries, roster moves, ect

Compulsive gambling at its best.

Agree 100%.

Anybody who would bet a September NFL game in June needs serious help...

while i will not be placing any bets right now, espicialy because of the state of the online gaming industry, i don't think it's insane. i think it's smart - you may be able to get some bargains, if you know what you're doing.

Exactly. No way I'm betting an NFL game in June. That being said, as of right now GB +2.5 and Cincy -3 look good.

hitbitritz · 06-13-07, 08:58 PM

do you really think the lines will move more than a point, 2 at absolute most in the case of a major injury?? c'mon

Of course. There will be huge movement before opening day. You think the Pats would still be laying 5.5 if Brady tears his ACL in training camp?

If you don't expect the lines to move much, why did you say there are bargains to be found by placing bets now?

Stranger things have happened in the preseason too...

I won't even be considering the Week 1 lines until after the final preseason games are finished...

Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

gridironguy · 06-14-07, 02:01 AM

There are a few opportunities out there that might be worth tying up a very small percentage of BR in, although I have not had the time to research those opportunities just yet..

gridironguy · 06-14-07, 02:04 AM

At first glance, Buffalo +3.5 hosting Denver looks good, as does SF -3 hosting AZ.

Once again, this is with no research whatsoever, just what I have in my mind from last year moving ahead to this year..

LargeMouthBass · 06-14-07, 03:16 AM

Pats -5.5 will probably go to -7
And I like the under but this one will probably go to 42...

Damn, how are the lines out already? I can't believe it's almost football season already.

tblues2005 · 06-14-07, 03:33 AM

It is way too early for picking opening games I think we are just a little under 3 months away until then so hold on.

Dark Horse · 06-14-07, 07:43 AM

Since it's early why not discuss possible line movements and get some middles?

Dark Horse · 06-14-07, 08:02 AM

What a Sunday!

CHI@SD

SNF: NYG@DAL (my first pick of the season just jumped off the page).

MaxDemo · 06-14-07, 10:27 AM

Its not that one should be betting on a Sept game in June...but for me the early lines like these can also give a glimps to line movements. After the start of Training camp in less than a month it will be interesting to see the movements and the cause of them.....JMO

BuddyBear · 06-14-07, 10:52 AM

I won't even be betting until week 4 of the NFL of the season.....the NFL lines are way too sharp.

austintx05 · 06-14-07, 10:56 AM

actually the first weeks of the season the lines are soft

Not really. A number of pros don't even bet week 1 b/c of the high level of uncertainty associated with each team.

They seem soft only in relation to say week 6 and beyond when the identity of the team is established.

austintx05 · 06-14-07, 11:07 AM

Week 2 is probably when the lines are at their worst

imgv94 · 06-14-07, 11:23 AM

Jack -5 ****
SD -6 ***
Hou +2/ML ***
