About an hour after the regular season schedule was released Wednesday night, the LVH Las Vegas Hotel and Casino had already installed favorites and underdogs for the opening week games.

Jacksonville is the biggest Week One underdog on the LVH SuperBook board. The Eagles are 11-point favorites over the visiting Jaguars in the season opener for both clubs.

No other club is favored by more than a touchdown, and only the Broncos and Bears are favored by more than six points. Denver is a seven-point favorite vs. Indianapolis, while Chicago is a 6.5-point favorite vs. Buffalo.

All but three home teams are favored in Week One. The only home underdogs are the Cowboys (vs. the 49ers), the Buccaneers (vs. the Panthers) and the Dolphins (vs. the Patriots).

Finally, the Seahawks are five-point favorites vs. Green Bay in the opening game of the regular season.

Here are the LVH’s Week One lines:

Thursday, September 4

Green Bay at Seattle (-5)

Sunday, September 7

New Orleans at Atlanta (-2)

Cincinnati at Baltimore (-2.5)

Buffalo at Chicago (-6.5)

Washington at Houston (-2.5)

Tennessee at Kansas City (-5.5)

New England (-3.5) at Miami

Oakland at N.Y. Jets (-4.5)

Jacksonville at Philadelphia (-11)

Cleveland at Pittsburgh (-5)

Minnesota at St. Louis (-5)

It's not often that the Rams are regarded as the favorite. Especially in week 1...

Times, they are a changing.

These odds will change even more once we have drafted Watkins and Robinson!

*does conga round office* la la la la ohh!

We need to start 3-0 and have the young guys feed off of it.

There is nothing like a fast start to get a young team to play sky high well into the season.

Then from week 13 through week 16, we have a 4 game stretch of: Raiders, Redskins, Cards, Giants, with all of them at home except for the game in Washington.

Here it is in a nutshell....

Start out 3-0, get that momentum going with the young guys, then split the next tough 8 games, then win at least 3 of those 4 late games, and we will have at least 10 wins going into Seattle.

I think that's a good plan.

I've never been a huge gambler. Can somebody tell me how the -5 works?

You just subtract 5 points from the Rams' final score.

So if the score in the game is 27-20 to us, the score for the purposes of the bet is 22-20, therefore the Rams still win. If the actual match score is 17-14 to us, the score as far as the bet is concerned is 12-14, so in that case a bet on the Rams would lose.

So only 3 teams, Jags, Vikes, and Oak, have worse odds than the Rams in winning their division. All 3 will be starting rookie QBs this year. Sure, we play in the toughest division, but there is way too much talent on this team to be given less than an 8% chance of winning the division.

Bet Tampa

I will take some futures action on Arizona and Detroit with those odds please. I enjoy futures bets.
I like Oakland hitting their over win number this year too.

I dont know what the odds are in Vegas, but British bookmakers are offering 50-1 against the Rams. A £20 bet would return £1,000 were we to win the Superbowl.

That's pretty hefty as Pounds are concerned. I usually bet on us when we go to Vegas, going to have to look into those odds. I'd imagine our odds would be about 30-1.

If it's only 30-1 in Vegas, send the money to somebody you know in the UK and you can get 50s!
