Complete List of Week 2 NFL Lines Can Be Found Below

Week 2 of the 2010 NFL campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 week 2 NFL lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the week 2 NFL lines. Be sure to check out the free NFL picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend…..  

The Manning brothers are going to be highlighting what should be another fantastic week of NFL football wagering action. The New York Giants will send younger brother Eli up against the Indianapolis Colts and older brother Peyton. These teams started off the year in two vastly different directions, as the Colts were run over by the Houston Texans 34-24, while the Giants were busy making mincemeat out the Carolina Panthers 31-18. The current week two lines at Oddsmaker currently have the Colts listed at 5.5 point favorites in their home opener at Lucas Oil Stadium.

The biggest favorites of all the 2010 week two NFL spreads at this point are the Green Bay Packers. The Pack are coming off of an impressive seven point road win at the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, and they are coming home for the first time to take on the Buffalo Bills, who were scorched by the Miami Dolphins 15-10. Green Bay is listed at a big 13 point favorite.

Whereas Week 1 featured a ton of home underdogs, the second week of the regular season only features three hosts that are pups. On Monday Night Football, the San Francisco 49ers will try to rebound from their embarrassing defeat at the Seattle Seahawks by taking on the defending champions, the New Orleans Saints. The black and gold marched over the Minnesota Vikings 14-9 in the opener last Thursday night. San Fran is a 4.5 point home underdog, making it the largest week 2 spread.

The Washington Redskins were 3.5 point underdogs last week when the Dallas Cowboys came to town, and they are once again 3.5 point pups against the other team from the Lone Star State, the Houston Texans. Houston posted arguably its biggest win in franchise history when RB Arian Foster rushed for 231 yards en route to a romp at home of the Indianapolis Colts.

The Detroit Lions probably got screwed out of what would’ve been their first road win in 22 tries against the Chicago Bears last weekend, but they will take on the Philadelphia Eagles, who could be playing without QB Kevin Kolb on Sunday. Kolb suffered a concussion last week and might be held out, especially considering how well QB Michael Vick played in his absence. The hosts are 3.5 point pups.

In the other potential marquee game on the slate in Week 2, the Minnesota Vikings are six point home favorites in QB Brett Favre’s first contest of the year in front of the hometown faithful against the Miami Dolphins.

Complete List of Week 1 College Football Lines Can Be Found Below

Three huge games are going to be highlighting a tremendous weekend of college football betting action, and here at Bankroll Sports, we’ve got all of the odds and ends covered.

The Alabama Crimson Tide are going to most likely be without the services of RB Mark Ingram for this crucial tilt with the Penn State Nittany Lions. As a result, the Tide roll into this one as 12 point favorites, whereas they might have been significantly larger choices had they been a fully fit squad. Penn State’s new QB Robert Bolden is going to be the first freshman to ever face this type of a test under HC Joe Paterno. This could be a very interesting game with a huge payoff for the winner, especially if it is a PSU team that is in dire need of some respect if it hopes to be in the National Championship picture.

The Florida State Seminoles picked up a big victory to start the HC Jimbo Fisher era last week against Samford, but things can change this week in a hurry against the Oklahoma Sooners. OU is going to have to rebound quickly from a poor showing in a 31-24 win over the Utah State Aggies. QB Landry Jones could be in for a good game against an FSU secondary that was terrorized at times last year. Still, the garnet and gold are only 7.5 point underdogs and could be in a position to pull an upset of similar proportions this year as they did last season at BYU.

That FSU/Oklahoma game is one of the two battles this week that mark rematches of National Championship Games. The other is the duel between the Miami Hurricanes and the Ohio State Buckeyes, who squared off in the Fiesta Bowl in 2003 in an epic overtime tussle won by OSU. This year, the Bucks are going to be the decided 8.5 point favorites as opposed to the double digit dogs they were when all the marbles were on the line seven years ago. There are two major Heisman Trophy contenders in this game, as QB Jacory Harris for the Canes and QB Terrelle Pryor for the Buckeyes. These two are going to need big efforts to not only improve their team’s chances of sticking in the National Championship race, but to bolster their chances of going to New York as a Heisman Trophy finalist in December.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Michigan Wolverines are going to collide in a duel of epic historical proportions. Both of these teams got off to a good start this year by picking off reasonable opponents. Still, both are going to look for a tremendous effort against the other. Though first year head coach Brian Kelly at Notre Dame might not be on a hot seat, HC Rich Rodriguez still needs some more wins at Michigan to save his skin and potentially his coaching career. He’ll have QB Denard Robinson on his side after having a fantastic game last week against the Connecticut Huskies.

For the second straight week, the San Jose State Spartans are the biggest underdog on the board. They are 38.5 point underdogs at Camp Randall in the home opener for the Wisconsin Badgers.

Full List of 2010 Week 1 NFL Lines Can Be Found Below

The first week of the 2010 NFL football regular season is nearly here! In order to get you prepped for all of the festivities, Bankroll Sports has our analysis along with quick rundown of all the week 1 NFL lines and everything else you need to know for the opening week of the year!

Where else could we start than with a rematch of the epic NFC Championship Game?!?! The New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings will get the season started with their opening game broadcasted on NBC. We now know that the Vikings are going to have QB Brett Favre under center, but there is still a significant question whether or not he is really ready to go. Favre took a beating in this game last year and after throwing no TDs and two picks in the preseason, there is reason to believe that this could be a long night in the Bayou.

The biggest favorites of Week 1 at this point are the New York Giants against the Carolina Panthers. The G-Men are favored by a full seven points. This is a rare week with a ton of chalk coming on the road, but double digit favorites will inevitably become avaiable for hosts again next week.

Brand new quarterbacks are going to be en vouge for various NFL teams in Week 1, the Panthers of which are one of them. In all likelihood, Matt Moore will be starting on Opening Day for Carolina, marking the first time that Jake Delhomme didn’t start under center for the team in a number of years. Speaking of Delhomme, he’ll be the new man in charge for the Cleveland Browns, who are three point underdogs against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1.

The quarterback changes continue in Pittsburgh, where QB Ben Roethlisberger will be suspended for at least the first month of the season. With Byron Leftwich battling an injured knee, it appears as though Dennis Dixon is going to be given the task of leading the troops in black and gold into battle against the Atlanta Falcons. The hosts are rare underdogs at home, as they are 2.5 point pups.

The only rookie quarterback that is starting in Week 1 is Sam Bradford with the St. Louis Rams. Bradford, the team’s top pick in the NFL Draft, clearly outplayed QB AJ Feeley for the starting job, particularly in a road win at the New England Patriots in the third week of the preseason. St. Louis is hosting the Arizona Cardinals, another team getting used to a new quarterback. QB Derek Anderson performed well enough in the Cards’ exhibitions that QB Matt Leinart, once considered the future of the franchise, was released outright. Anderson and the rest of his Arizona mates are four point road favorites at the Edward Jones Dome.

Both the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins will be playing new QBs as well. The ‘Skins made arguably the move of the offseason by trading for long-time Eagles QB Donovan McNabb. McNabb’s Redskins were once 3.5 point pups to their rivals, the Dallas Cowboys at home in Week 1, but with McNabb still up in the air injured, the line has been taken off the board. For Philadelphia, QB Kevin Kolb is the man in charge of the team now that McNabb is gone. Kolb showed plenty of promise in his few appearances before McNabb departed, but the oddsmakers aren’t showing the Eagles any love. They are short three point home underdogs to the Green Bay Packers in Week 1.

New Meadowlands Stadium will be opening with both the New York Giants and New York Jets will be playing in Week 1. The Giants will kick off against Carolina, while the Jets are going to be playing on Monday Night Football against the Baltimore Ravens. The home team is favored by 2.5 points in that NFL betting encounter.

Complete List of Week 1 College Football Lines Can Be Found Below

Most of the 120 teams across the country in FBS are set to kick it off between Thursday and next Monday, and here at Bankroll Sports, we’ve got all you need to know when you’re ready to analyze the Week 1 college football betting lines!

As always, there are a number of huge favorites that are going to be all over the board in the first week of play across the nation. The Ohio State Buckeyes, USC Trojans, Michigan State Spartans, Florida Gators, Mississippi State Bulldogs, Oregon Ducks, Alabama Crimson Tide, Oklahoma Sooners, Wisconsin Badgers, Georgia Bulldogs, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Clemson Tigers, and Auburn Tigers are all favored by at least three touchdowns will be likely coast to easy victories against their lesser foes.

However, not every game on the slate has such little intrigue. On the opening day of the season on Thursday, the Utah Utes and Pittsburgh Panthers will square off in a rematch of the first ever BCS busting game. The Utes became the first team from a non-BCS conference to make it to a major bowl game, and they crippled the Panthers that day at the Fiesta Bowl. This will be the first time these two squads meet. Second year men will be on display, as RB Dion Lewis for Pitt and QB Jordan Wynn for Utah will be at center stage.

Keep as close eye as well on the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders on Thursday, as QB Dwight Dasher might be able to lead the hosts to a big win over the Minnesota Golden Gophers. MTSU is a three point underdog but is certainly a live dog that might be worth backing.

The Connecticut Huskies and Michigan Wolverines will fight it out in the Big House in what could be a huge game for both programs. The Huskies are still searching for some respect, and Heisman Trophy candidate, RB Jordan Todman will be the main focus of the attack. This is a do or die year for HC Rich Rodriguez in Ann Arbor, and he’ll need to come forth with a good effort to start the season or risk the wrath of the media and boosters calling for his head before the Big Ten season even gets started. This is a game that Michigan certainly expects to win even though it is just a three point favorite.

There are two big time rivalry games to keep on your radar as well. The Colorado Buffaloes will meet the Colorado State Rams at Mile High in a neutral site game to determine the top team in the Rockies for another year. It’s a big one for HC Dan Hawkins, who knows that a second straight loss to a poor CSU squad will ultimately probably cost him his job. The Buffs are 13 point favorites.

It’ll also be a battle to see whether the Bluegrass becomes a red state or a blue state, as Joker Phillips takes over the Kentucky Wildcats and Charlie Strong starts his coaching career with the Louisville Cardinals. Both of these new coaches would love a win over their arch rivals to get the teams going in 2010, but only one will cover the NCAA football odds in this one. The visiting Wildcats are favored by 3.5 points.

Saturday night wraps up with a crucial tilt between the Cincinnati Bearcats and the Fresno State Bulldogs. We all know HC Pat Hill’s mantra… Anyone, anytime, anywhere. Cincinnati has no fear of coming West, as it did so last year in beating Oregon State en route to its perfect regular season. QB Zach Collaros will have a ton of pressure on his backside in this game, as he is taking over for QB Tony Pike. New HC Butch Jones is a 2.5 point underdog in this, his first game at U of C, but the Cats could scratch out a victory to open up their campaign.

However, Week 1 wouldn’t be complete without one of the biggest games of the entire year. The Boise State Broncos are probably going to put their BCS dreams on the line at FedEx Field when they take on the Virginia Tech Hokies in a “neutral site game” that is going to look at lot like Lane Stadium would on your average Saturday. The stars will be shining in this, the first Top 10 battle of the year. The winner will have a massive leg up towards the BCS this year, while the loser will already have their National Championship hopes dashed in Week 1. The Broncos have finally gained some respect against the big boys in the big conferences, as they are 2.5 point favorites in this de facto road game.

NFL preseason betting action started last Sunday with the Hall of Fame Game, as the Dallas Cowboys knocked off the Cincinnati Bengals 16-7. The other 30 teams kick off their season this week, as NFL wagering warriors have a full slate of 16 games to sink their teeth into.

As always, the oddsmakers are having a tough time deciding which team to favor and by how many points in the first week of preseason action. Thirteen of the 16 home teams are favored this week, but none by more than 3.5 points. The only teams that are underdogs at home are the Indianapolis Colts and the Arizona Cardinals.

The Cardinals are playing against the perennial preseason powers, the Houston Texans. The quarterback rotation for the Texans might not be superior to that of the Cardinals, but in the end, the depth that Houston has at its disposal is just better than Arizona’s, which is why the oddsmakers have installed them as slender one point choices.

As for the Colts, they are sluggish during every preseason, as QB Peyton Manning rarely plays and his reserves are basically commanded to try to make the game go by as quickly as possible. When you’re as good as Indy is, you don’t need four preseason games to figure out what your rotation is going to look like in the regular season. You know that #18 is going to be chucking the pigskin all over the field, and everything else will typically work itself out.

The most intriguing game on the slate this week comes between the Minnesota Vikings and St. Louis Rams. Both teams are going to have a fierce battle for the starting quarterback position. The Vikes, mired in the Brett Favre saga, are going to enter battle in the preseason with Tarvaris Jackson, Sage Rosenfels, and Joe Webb battling to become the successor to the great #4 in purple. The city of St. Louis should enjoy the debut of QB Sam Bradford, the #1 overall pick in the NFL Draft from this year. Along with Bradford though, HC Steve Spagnuolo is going to have AJ Feeley, Keith Null, and rookie Thaddeus Lewis to take a look at.

That Vikes/Rams duel on Saturday night has the lowest posted ‘total’ on the board at 31.5. The highest ‘total’ is only 35, with that coming on the first game of the first full week of play in the preseason between the New Orleans Saints and New England Patriots.
