NFL Week 1 Point Spreads: Now that the NFL Preseason is done it’s finally time to play some Football! However not for everyone, as many teams have made their final cuts before roster have to be trimmed down and start of the NFL Week 1 Point Spreads.
The quarterback situation out in Tampa Bay was more confusing than the Buccaneers’ end to last year’s regular season. Now things are a bit more defined, after the Bucs dealt backup quarterback Luke McCown to Jacksonville 
for a late-round conditional 2010 NFL draft pick. In the NFL Week 1 Point Spreads, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers [+6] are currently listed as the sports betting odds underdogs against the visiting Dallas Cowboys [-6].
Taking a look at the Bay Area on the other side of the country, former Buccaneer QB Jeff Garcia was released by the Oakland Raiders due to a roster cutdown. The Raiders certainly hope that JaMarcus Russell can finally steer the pirate ship in a positive direction this season.
For now, Russell’s backups will appear to be 4-year man out of Toledo Bruce Gradkowski and Akron’s Charlie Frye who will be entering his 5th year in the league. In their NFL Week 1 Point Spreads, the Oakland Raiders [+9] appear on the sports betting odds underdog column, as they host interstate rivals San Diego Chargers [-9] on Monday Night’s Football’s late game.
Last season’s AFC East co-divisional champion New England Patriots made a move at the tight end position. New England released former Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Alex Smith. The move comes as a surprise especially after the Pats traded a fifth-round draft pick for Smith several months ago. As expected with Tom Brady back at the help of the offense, the New England Patriots [-11] will enter their NFL Week 1 Point Spreads as the sports betting odds favorites as they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers [+11] at Gillette Stadium on Monday Night Football’s early game.
Some other notable NFL roster moves include:
Jacksonville Jaguars releasing (OT) Tony Pashos
(LB) Zach Thomas being cut from Kansas City
Winner of Michael Irvin’s show (WR) Jesse Holley was cut
The Eagles used exemption to keep (QB) Michael Vick off 53-man roster to start the season
Finally the defending Super Bowl champs released 21 players in total and placed (TE) Sean McHugh on injured reserve
