Now that the NFL Draft is behind us and OTAs are underway, NFL betting fans can officially start to analyze the football spreads for Week 1 of the 2010 regular season! Here is a look at all of the lines for the games and a bit of analysis on a few of the juiciest matchups…

1. Minnesota Vikings (+5) @ New Orleans Saints, over/under 51.5… The defending champions open up their 2010 campaign the same way that their 2009 home slate came to an end: hosting the Minnesota Vikings. The question is whether or not QB Brett Favre will be back in purple next year or not. Whether he is or not, we have to think that laying five points on the opening night of the season with the momentum of raising the first Super Bowl banner in the history of the Crescent City is a great idea.

2. Denver Broncos (+1.5) @ Jacksonville Jaguars, over/under 41.5… QB Tim Tebow ironically makes his debut as an NFL player in the city that made him one of the most sought out players at the collegiate level in the history of football. Knowing Jacksonville fans, this could be a very, very pro-Denver crowd. HC Josh McDaniels knows that he has to get off to a good start to the year, while the Jags just don’t look to have improved that much in the offseason. Take any points given to you as a bonus.

3. Green Bay Packers (+1) @ Philadelphia Eagles, over/under 45.5… The QB Kevin Kolb era will officially kick off in the City of Brotherly Love against one of the toughest teams in the NFL. The Packers had a tendency of playing high scoring games last year, and this one might not be much of an exception. Remember, when Kolb had to start in 2009 with QB Donovan McNabb injured, the Eagles scored a total of 56 points. Expect another shootout in Week 1.

4. Dallas Cowboys (-3.5) @ Washington Redskins, over/under 43.5… Speaking of Donovan McNabb… Would there be a better way to start your career as a Redskin than by beating the Cowboys? Though the oddsmakers don’t have a lot of faith in Washington pulling the upset, there’s reason to believe that Dallas could be overmatched in this one. Going into Landover is never fun, and owner Daniel Snyder may have finally found the coach that can take his team to the playoffs again in HC Mike Shanahan. Don’t discount the fact that his son, Kyle will be calling the plays either, as he is one of the most highly thought of offensive coordinators in the league.
