This is the term used to describe a zero point spread. Just "pick" one team or another.

Well, I can find value this early if I look hard enough sir. So needless to say I can totally understand why somebody would place wagers this early. Now of course the drawbacks are tying up your funds for roughly two months and the preseason injury factor.

There is absolutely NO reason to bet these lines, for several reasons:

1) I see 30 cent lines for NFL week 1 games
2) You will lose interest on the money you lay
3) There is no way you can wager on teams that dont even have finalized rosters
4) Its F'n crazy

Absolutely. This goes for futures in general, as well, IMHO. You've gotta have a pretty incredible handicapping edge to book a bet much further out than one week.

Even so, us NFL maniacs are chomping at the bit to get at it! Please forgive us!

I now see value in the Detroit as a pick, even though the games are still far, far away. Detroit should kick the Falcons in the shins real hard.

Its soo difficult to predict week 1 winners... Look at all the week 1's for the last few years, look at how many "upsets" there are.

Teams play differently week 1, they know they have a fresh start and dont want last years failures to come into this year. Why do you think books even have lines like this out? its obvious, to take money from SUCKERS... Real sharps wouldnt touch these lines with a 10 foot pole, and neither will I.

Regardless of your views on week 1, your completely ignoring the fact that you can get some VALUE lines here. I can guarantee most of these lines will change a fair bit between now and then, and if you get on the right side now you can always scalp out later. Or, if you don't mind betting on week 1, just take your good position and keep it.

With extra juice plus interest, any "apparent value" will be negated. Just wait untill preseason, or do what the books want you to do, bite an early line...

I respectfully disagree sir. If anything you would collect interest if you do your homework correctly.

How would you collect interest? Your money is tied up with bookie, and I dont know any bookies that give interest on account balances...

Why are the pinny totals 10 cents? I thought all NFL stuff was 8 cents.

If you scalp it out later and hit a middle. Then you get more than just interest.
