The second Sunday in September of 2022 marks the first full card of NFL action that we have seen since the 2021 regular season ended on Jan. 9 earlier this year.
It feels like the anticipation grows with every coming year. It was indeed a special off-season though as my dear friends and colleagues, Vinny Magliulo and Jimmy Vaccaro, and myself, were all fortunate enough to be elected into the Sports Betting Hall of Fame over the summer. We feel like a lot of this honor is based upon not only our longevity in the industry but how we have treated our players over the years and our attention to an amicable relationship with our customers rather than one that is adversarial. With that, come on over to South Point this football season and say hello. We're excited about this season kicking off as much as you are. Let's get to Week 1 in the NFL and as always, we'll run down the games in official Nevada rotation order.Baltimore Ravens (-6.5, 44) at New York Jets
Note that we opened these games so long ago, May 15 to be exact. Most of the action all the way up until just the last couple of weeks has been small in dollar amounts. We opened 5 in favor of the Ravens and it slowly ticked up. When Zach Wilson was injured, they continued to lay it, all the way to 7, and the public kept on even at Ravens -7 but that is when the sharps jumped in and took the points. Personally, I didn't make much of an adjustment at all for Wilson versus Joe Flacco at quarterback. The wise guys are betting the number, a home dog getting a touchdown on opening day.
