Week 1 NFL Lines

by Thomas Jensen on Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

Week 1 NFL lines for the first games of the season by far have the longest shelf-life of all weeks, surfacing at some online sportsbooks as early as June, yet the amount of line movement for the card is no different than a standard week throughout the NFL season.

Most of the injuries have already been accounted for in the week 1 NFL lines but it still might be worth some time to check the status of key players on Thursday, when all teams are required to have their status reports filed by.

The Atlanta Falcons have seen themselves go from a pick to +3 and back down again, changing with the tides of Michael Vick’s status, but the jury has returned a verdict on replacement QB Joey Harrington and the agreement seems to be the Falcons +2.5 points at SportsBetting.com.

Bettors are slowing starting to believe in the dream of a better Houston Texans team this year, edging Houston up in their opener vs. Kansas City, but with Larry Johnson back onside don’t expect the week 1 NFL lines to go any higher than three in this game.

And even though he’s “just a kicker,” as Rod Woodson would say, you can bet that Dallas Cowboys are a little worried after listing PK Martin Gramatica on injured-reserve Saturday afternoon. The Cowboys are expected to go with rookie Nick Folk as Gramatica’s replacement. There has also been some line movement toward the Dallas Cowboys on the Sunday Night game and the theme present in all three of these games is the same: money is pouring in on the favorites.

The Green Bay Packers are keeping a watchful eye on WR Donald Driver, not to mention both of its projected starters at half-back for their game vs. Philadelphia. Another RB, Frank Gore in San Francisco, is critical to the 49ers game vs. Arizona.
