Early WK 1 NFL Spread? Only In Vegas!
Gridiron Experts is packing its bags for one of many trips to Las Vegas this summer, so we thought we’d showcase future bets for the next week or so, for anyone who might be wondering how the betting community is looking at this upcoming season. We plan to have many posts geared towards long shot bets, Super Bowl sleepers, total team wins, and rookie of the year bets for you, so check back!


Here is a super early NFL week 1 spread for you to sink your teeth into. Remember a casino or bookie will change it’s spread throughout one NFL week, so I’m guessing this will look totally different come September. Either way, there is an advantage to getting in early.

Quick thoughts to this future forecast of odds:
1) Denver isn’t getting much love on the road to the Bengals, but Cincinnati might be a team that is finally due for a breakout year.
2) Dallas fans might want to find an early bookie, as a field goal game in Tampa seems too good to be true. Especially seeing how there’s a good chance rookie Josh Freeman could get the start.
3) Are the Patriots back? Well, with a 10 point spread you’d think so wouldn’t you? That seems too high and will probably fall to 6-7 by week 1.
4) Jets fans always think they’re better than they really are, and 4 point underdogs to the Texans should make peoples blood boil. I personally think the Texans are a huge sleeper team in 2009 and wouldn’t touch that game.


These bets are a little ridiculous, as training camp isn’t even close to starting yet; however, the real hardcore gamblers might place bets on the Bills and Cowboys this early. Great odds are hard to come by, and betting on Tom Brady’s slow recovery or the Cowboys vs. a rookie quarterback is smart thinking.
