Football betting for Week 1 of the 2008 regular season wraps up with the second half of an ESPN Monday Night Football doubleheader as the Oakland Raiders host the Denver Broncos.Football on the Dallas Cowboys is always popular and that should be the case again this season. The Cowboys open up the 2008 NFL betting season at Cleveland as a 3.5 point favorite in NFL Odds Week 1 numbers. The Browns are a popular pick by many football experts but their schedule is difficult beginning with this Sunday afternoon game.
Football stats show that the Cowboys went 13-3 straight up and 9-7 against the football betting pointspread last year. The Browns were 10-6 straight up and a super 12-4 versus the NFL betting number a year ago. While the Browns seasons was thought of as a success even though they missed the playoffs, the Cowboys season was considered a failure after they lost to the Giants in the NFC playoffs.
