The long anticipated 2014/2015 NFL season opener is just a few days away, NFL Week 1 will start with the Thursday football game between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks and today we will take a look at the latest betting numbers posted by the sportsbooks, particularly the point spread on the Green Bay vs Seattle game.

The current NFL Champions, Seattle Seahawks will have the oportunity to begin this new season at home, although facing the ever-tough opponents in the face of the Green Bay Packers. This has certainly been taken into account by the sportsbooks and currently at the popular betting website Bookmaker, we have the Green Bay Packers vs. Seattle Seahawks point spread at -5.5 chalk the Seahawks. Comparing the posit spread with another US sportsbook, 5Dimes, we find the Seattle Seahawks even smaller favorite to cover the spread at just -5 points. The current odds there are -235 on the Seahawks and the Green Bay Packers are value at +195 to deliver an upset in the NFL Week 1 opener. Keep in mind that these are a rather early spreads and odds, and they are bound to change as the bettors finally start to put in their money, after a few months of no action.

As far as the odds, those will be available by the sportsbooks on the day the games are played, as it has been traditional with the preseason NFL games.

We are opening this week’s NFL games line and point spread preview with the betting numbers on the Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Tennessee Titans match up. The Jaguars (0-8) have had an awful season so far and will certainly try to seize the opportunity to finally get a win when they travel the face the Titans (4-4), who are also having a shaky season up to this point. As many of you are expecting, however, the betting numbers are hardly favorable to the Jags.

As always, we visited our top sportsbook for US players, Bookmaker, where we found the line on the Tennessee Titans to be huge at -556, while the Jacksonville Jaguars line is +429. The money lines on the game will eventually round up as the week draws closer, but for now, the betting patterns dictate the line movement. The Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Tennessee Titans point spread is currently at -11.5 points and it’s the spread where most bettors will likely place their action. The total (over/under) on the game is set at just 41.5 points.

Whether you will bet the line or the point spreads, the following stats are sure to help somewhat in your betting decision. Jacksonville has covered the spread just once in its last 9 games, while Tennessee is 6-2-1 against the spread in its last 9 games. The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Jacksonville’s last 7 games when playing the Titans, who have beat the line (4-1 SU) in its last 5 games when playing at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars. At this time there are no injuries reported on either team.

Sunday football will mark the Week 9 NFL games and we will begin with one of the more anticipated games, Minnesota Vikings @ Dallas Cowboys, showing you the point spread, line and odds on the football game. The Minnesota Vikings (1-6) are in  a real though spot this season, having recorded just one win and will travel to face off the Dallas Cowboys (4-4) who are still recovering from the 1-point loss in Detroit last week. Even so, the Cowboys will take advantage of the home field, according to the sportsbooks and if they are to be believed – will go above .500 once again.

Let’s take a look at the Vikings Cowboys line, as posted by some of the recommended USA online sportsbooks. At Bookmaker we find the Dallas Cowboys an absolute favorite to win Sunday’s game with money line -450, while the Vikings hold underdog line +355 for an upset in Week 9. At Bovada Sports the line is quite similar, the Cowboys big favorite to win the game there too. The Minnesota Vikings vs. Dallas Cowboys point spread is currently at -9.5 points chalk the Cowboys at both sportsbooks, with the total expected set at 47.5 points. Keep in mind that the Minnesota Vikings are just 3-7 against the spread in their last 10 games on the road and the Dallas Cowboys have covered the spread just twice in their last 6 games when playing at home against the Vikings. If you plan on betting any Minnesota v. Dallas line, note that the Cowboys are 1-7 straight-up in their last 8 games when playing Minnesota.

Luckily for both teams, there are no major injuries to report at this time and most players are considered available for this Week 9 NFL game.
