NFL Preseason Week 1 Betting: Saturday Game Odds

Houston Texans at Carolina Panthers

What can we expect?:

Cam Newton was completely sensational rookie, but is expected to do even better in 2012 with a full offseason to hone his considerable skills. The quarterback will have a chance to show their development against a Texans defense that stifled his opponents last season.
If Newton manages to find the second and third choice in their progressions will have achieved considerable progress in their awareness of the coverage and recognition. Houston Matt Schaub will try to return to activity after a foot injury ended his 2011 season last November.
Against a Carolina defense that suffered to cover the pass last season, this could be the perfect opportunity to regain its confidence as Schaub creative player from his pocket.

The current betting line at Bovada sportsbook is Carolina Panthers -3 point favorites against the Houston Texans with a total of 35½.

Tennessee Titans at Seattle Seahawks

What can we expect?:

The quarterback competition will dominate the spotlight of this match as both teams are in search of its owner. The Seahawks are holding a triple battle between Matt Flynn, Tarvaris Jackson and Russell Wilson.
While Flynn will be the one to start the game, Wilson will have a chance to move up the order of the quarterbacks you have a good performance against Tennessee alternates. For the Titans, Matt Haselbeck start but Jake Locker, 24, will have every opportunity to unseat the veteran. Locker was impressive in the limited time he played in 2011, but will need to show improvements in accuracy against the Seahawks to take the lead in this competition.

The current betting line at Bovada sportsbook is Seattle Seahawks -3 point favorites against the Houston Texans with a total of 36½.
