Denver Broncos at Oakland Raiders
Monday, 10:15 pm Eastern – ESPN

SBG Global Opening Line: Broncos  -  1   ,  Total  41.5

The Oakland Raiders host the Denver Broncos in the late game on ESPN’s opening Monday Night Football doubleheader as rookie Darren McFadden makes his NFL regular season debut.  The Raiders’ running back is expected to make an immediate impact this season. He will be facing a Denver defense that was terrible against the run last season, allowing 145.9 yards per game.  In the two teams final meeting last season Raiders’ running back

Justin Fargas had 146 yards. SBG Global reports that early NFL betting has the public taking Broncos on the Road.

Both teams will be looking for improved play out of their quarterbacks this season.  Denver’s Jay Cutler was up and down last season, throwing for 20 touchdowns but also throwing 14 interceptions.  He was diagnosed with Diabetes in the off-season and is now receiving insulin that should help his overall energy level.  Cutler will be missing his favorite receiver in Monday’s game as Brandon Marshall is out due to a one-game suspension.

The Raiders are also hoping for better quarterback play this season.  JaMarcus Russell is the full-time starter this season and he will look to put up solid numbers this season. “You can never be Superman when you have other teammates,” Russell said. “So just go out there and do the basics and do what you do each and every day.” The Raiders signed former Bronco wide receivers Javon Walker and Ashley Lelie in the off-season to give Russell some deep threats.

Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers
Sunday, 7:00 pm Eastern – ESPN

SBG Global Opening Line: Packers  -  3   ,  Total  39

The Green Bay Packers will look decidedly different as they open up the 2008 regular season on Monday as long-time quarterback Brett Favre is gone and understudy Aaron Rodgers has the job.  Rodgers will get a real test of what it should be like as he opens up at home against NFC North rival Minnesota. It has been Favre at quarterback since 1992 so things will definitely be different on Monday. “It’s been a difficult time the last few months as far as the attention I’ve gotten, but I think I’m ready for it.” Rodgers said, “I know it’s going to be amped up once the season starts, I’m going to be scrutinized, but that’s the job of being an NFL quarterback.” SBG Global reports that early NFL betting has the public taking Packers at Home.

Rodgers has a lot of weapons at his disposal.  Receivers Donald Driver and Greg Jennings had more than 900 yards last season and running back Ryan Grant finished the season spectacularly.  Green Bay also had a defense that was superb, allowing only 18.2 points per game last season, second in the NFC. “I think we’re going to be tough to run on, tough to pass on,” defensive tackle Ryan Pickett said. “I think we’ll be a top defense in the NFL.”

Minnesota also has a tough defense.  They were the best in the NFL last season against the run but struggled against the pass.  That may change this season since they signed pass rushing specialist Jared Allen.  The question for Minnesota is on offense where quarterback Tarvaris Jackson has yet to play well in the regular season.  The good news is that the Vikings have one of the best players in the NFL in running back Adrian Peterson who had 1,341 yards rushing while scoring 13 touchdowns last season.

Dallas Cowboys at Cleveland Browns
Sunday, 4:15 pm Eastern – FOX

SBG Global Opening Line: Cowboys  -  3   ,  Total  48.5          

The nationally televised late game Sunday on FOX has the Cleveland Browns hosting the Dallas Cowboys.  The Cowboys are one of the Super Bowl favorites this year while the Browns are the trendy pick by some to be a contender in the AFC.   The Cowboys are coming off another playoff failure, as last season they went 13-3 in the regular season but lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants in the divisional playoffs. “We obviously didn’t finish the season the way we wanted to last year.” Dallas wide receiver Terrell Owens said, “This is another opportunity, another year, to erase those negative thoughts.” SBG Global reports that early NFL betting has the public taking Cowboys  on the Road.

The Cowboys had the third ranked offense in the league last season at 365.7 yards per game.  The defense was ninth best, holding opponents to 307.6 yards per game.  Quarterback Tony Romo was third in the league with 4,211 passing yards and second with 36 touchdowns.

The Browns look to build upon last year’s success when they were 10-6 but failed to make the playoffs.   The Cleveland offense was eighth in total yards last season and quarterback Derek Anderson had 3,787 yards and 29 TDs.

The problem last season for Cleveland was on defense but the Browns added nose tackle Shaun Rogers and defensive tackle Corey Williams in the offseason. “Everyone is excited that they’re here,” said linebacker Willie McGinest, “We know what they can do. They’re very high-level players and should complement the guys that are already here.”

Here are the NFL betting stats for Sunday’s game.  The two teams last met in 2004 at Dallas when the Cowboys won 19-12. The Cowboys are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games in September. The Cowboys are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

The Browns are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 home games. The Browns are 11-2 ATS in their last 13 games on grass. The Browns are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The Browns are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in September.

The Browns are 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 games in Week 1.

New York Jets at Miami Dolphins
Sunday, 1:00 pm Eastern – CBS

SBG Global Opening Line: Jets  -  3   ,  Total  36

What looked like a dull game before the season now has a lot of intrigue as Brett Favre and the New York Jets face Chad Pennington and the Miami Dolphins.  Favre will make his 276th consecutive start on Sunday.  Last year he threw for 4,155 yards and 28 touchdowns with Green Bay. “I understand that most people think the odds are against me, and that’s fine,” Favre said. “I’m not here to be a god. I’m not here to get trashed, either. I’m here to help this team win. I still think I can offer something to the game of football, to myself. That’s all I can do. I hope it works out, believe me.” SBG Global reports that early NFL betting has the public taking Jets on the Road.

The Jets went 4-12 last season but made a number of addition in the off-season in addition to Favre.  They added Alan Faneca and Damien Woody on the offensive line and first-round pick Vernon Gholston and defensive tackle Kris Jenkins on defense.

The Dolphins are looking to rebound from a 1-15 season and already look much better with Bill Parcells in management and new head coach Tony Sparano at the helm.  Getting Pennington is an added bonus for the Dolphins. “I think the guy will do a great job of managing our team,” Sparano said, “And the team has responded really well to him, and that’s where we are going.”  The Dolphins are counting on #1 draft pick Jake Long in addition to a rejuvenated Ricky Williams and last year’s #1 pick Ted Ginn on offense.  The problems for Miami on Sunday could be on defense as they allowed 437 total points last season including a combined 71 to the Jets in their two games.

Here are the NFL betting stats for Sunday’s game. The Jets have won four straight and seven of eight against Miami. The Jets are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Miami. The Jets are 19-4-2 ATS in the last 25 meetings between the two teams.

The Dolphins are 8-3-2 ATS in their last 13 games in Week 1. The Dolphins are 17-35-2 ATS in their last 54 vs. the AFC. The Dolphins are 10-27-1 ATS in their last 38 home games. The Dolphins are 5-21-2 ATS in their last 28 vs. the AFC East.

Cincinnati at Oklahoma

SBG Global Opening Line: Oklahoma  -  21  ,  Total  53.5

Two teams coming off blowout opening wins meet on Saturday as #4 Oklahoma hosts Cincinnati.  The Sooners routed a hapless Chattanooga team 57-2 last week while the Bearcats routed Eastern Kentucky 40-7. Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford threw for 183 yards and two touchdowns but only played into the second quarter before Oklahoma backups came in. Chris Brown had three rushing touchdowns and DeMarco Murray ran for 124 yards and two TDs.  The Sooners defense was untouchable as the only Chattanooga score was on a safety. “It’s game one. You keep it in perspective,” Sooners defensive coordinator Brent Venables said. “There’s certainly things that you still don’t know about guys, but it’s off to a good start.”
SBG Global reports that early NCAA Football betting has the public taking Oklahoma at Home.

Cincinnati had no trouble last week against Eastern Kentucky as they gained 557 yards. Dustin Grutza threw for 296 yards and set a career high with three touchdown passes.  This is the first ever meeting between the two teams.  Oklahoma is 27-2 at Owen Field against non-conference opponents under head coach Bob Stoops winning by almost 30 points per game.

Oregon State at Penn State
Saturday, 3:30 pm Eastern – ABC

SBG Global Opening Line: Penn State  -  16.5  ,  Total  46.5

Two teams going in opposite directions meet on Saturday as 19^th ranked Penn State hosts Oregon State.  The Nittany Lions routed Coastal Carolina last week while the Beavers were upset by Stanford.  Penn State played very well last week against an overmatched Coastal Carolina club but this week they will get a much stiffer test from Oregon State. SBG Global reports that early NCAA Football betting has the public taking Penn State  at Home.

The Nittany Lions have two quarterbacks running the offense this season as Daryll Clark and Pat Devlin are competing for the job. Clark completed 11 of 14 passes for 146 yards and a touchdown while Devlin was 5-for-8 for 83 yards last week. “Both quarterbacks played well,” head coach Joe Paterno said. “I think Daryll Clark has earned the job, but I think Devlin is very close. I think it’s a good situation for us.”

Oregon State committed three turnovers last week in the loss to Stanford including a costly fumble late in the game that cost them a potential tying touchdown. Quarterback Lyle Moevao threw for three touchdowns in the loss to Stanford but also had two interceptions.

Here is a look at the NCAA Football betting stats for Saturday’s game. Penn State is 22-11 all-time against Pac-10 opponents but has never faced Oregon State.

SBG Global Opening Line: South Carolina  -  9.5  ,  Total  41

South Carolina and Vanderbilt open up the SEC part of their schedules on Thursday as the Commodores host the Gamecocks on ESPN.  Vanderbilt has had very little success in SEC openers in the past as they are just 4-21 in their last 25 conference openers. SBG Global reports that early NCAA Football betting has the public taking South Carolina on the Road

Vanderbilt has also struggled at home in SEC openers. The Commodores have lost their last 10 conference openers played at home.  They could have trouble scoring against a South Carolina defense that shutout North Carolina State last week by a score of 34-0.  It was the first shutout for South Carolina since 2006 when they won at Mississippi State.  The offense was led by running back Mike Davis who had over 100 yards on the ground and quarterback Chris Smelley who threw two touchdown passes in relief of quarterback Tommy Beecher who suffered a concussion.  It could be Smelley that gets the start on Thursday for South Carolina.

SBG Global Current Line: South Carolina  -  9.5  ,  Total  41

Vanderbilt dispatched Miami of Ohio last week 34-13 and looked good doing it.  They have a solid defense that could cause South Carolina some problems on Thursday. “Defensively Vandy’s a very good team. We’ve got to execute, protect the quarterback run and everything.” South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier said, “We’re looking forward to see if we can improve.”

Here is a look at the NCAA Football betting stats for Thursday’s game.  The two teams are meeting for the 18^th time in history.  South Carolina is 14-3 straight up in those meetings.  They met last season at South Carolina and Vanderbilt upset the Gamecocks by a score of 17-6.  The last time they played at Vandy the Gamecocks won 31-13 in 2006.  South Carolina is 8-1 in Nashville against the Commodores and has won the last four meetings.  Before last season the Commodores had lost seven straight to South Carolina.  The Gamecocks are 11-4 against the spread in the last 15 games against Vanderbilt.  Three of the last five games have gone Under the total.

SBG Global Opening Line: Giants -  3.5  ,  Total  40

The defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants begin the 2008 season at home against the Washington Redskins.  It’s the second time in six seasons that the Redskins are part of the NFL’s first game of the season.  They won in 2003 against the Jets 16-13.  In 2004 the NFL started a tradition in which the previous season’s Super Bowl winner hosts the NFL Thursday night game to start the regular season. SBG Global reports that early NFL betting has the public taking Giants at Home.

Thursday’s game is the first regular season test for Washington head coach Jim Zorn.  The Redskins were 3-2 in the preseason as they had to play an extra week in the Hall of Fame game.  The Giants finished the preseason at 2-2.  The Giants didn’t play their starters much during the preseason and quarterback Eli Manning threw very few passes.  A lot of starters missed time during the preseason.  Wide receiver Plaxico Burress didn’t play at all and Amani Toomer caught just one pass. Manning didn’t even play in the preseason finale against New England.  “I feel great,” Manning said. “I think our guys are ready and I think we have a slew of receivers who can play, so whoever they have in the game and whatever we do, we have a lot of weapons. I think that is a great situation to have. If we can have three wides or four wides, there is not one guy you have to target on and say, ‘Hey, we have to prevent this guy from getting catches.’ We can work to a number of receivers and guys do a good job of getting open. Our running attack is looking good with some healthy running backs, our line is looking good, so I feel positive about where our offense stands, where our team stands, and I am looking forward to the start of the season.”

Tennessee at UCLA
Monday, 8:00 pm Eastern - ESPN

SBG Global Opening Line: Tennessee   -  7  ,  Total  49

The excitement is back at UCLA as new head coach Rick Neuheisel takes over this season. The Bruins under Neuheisel should be improved, but maybe not right away.  New offensive coordinator Norm Chow is another reason why optimism is high at UCLA.  The problem for UCLA is that both of their projected starting quarterbacks are out. Patrick Cowan is out with a knee injury and will miss the entire season while Ben Olson is out for at least two months with a foot injury.  Third-stringer Kevin Craft, who started five games at San Diego State in 2006, and redshirt freshman Chris Forcier will be running the UCLA offense. “I do think Kevin and Chris Forcier are on the verge of blossoming into very good players. Hopefully it could be as soon as Monday night,” Neuheisel said. SBG Global reports that early NCAA Football betting has the public taking Tennessee on the Road.

The Bruins don’t start the Neuheisel era with cupcakes as they have to face #18 Tennessee on Monday and #16 Brigham Young on Sept. 13^th.  “I just believe that we’ve got to be relentlessly optimistic about what can be and keep giving ourselves chances to win football games,” Neuheisel said.

“So we’re going to work hard to be in every game and give ourselves a chance for good things to happen at the end. I think we’re going to find a way to surprise some folks.”

Tennessee went 9-4 last season and is thought of as a contender in the SEC this season.  Last year the Vols were 2-4 on the road and that lack of success on the road cost them a BCS bowl game. “Going on the road, and I’ve talked about it with the team, there is a mental and physical toughness you have to have to go and play and win in those settings,” coach Phillip Fulmer said.

Tennesse will have a new quarterback in Jonathan Crompton and a new offensive coordinator in Dave Clawson.   The good news is that Arian Foster is back.  He had 1,193 yards and 12 touchdowns last season.
