Washington Redskins 2007 Draft Preview
Football Betting Lines
04/04/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Washington places little to no value on the draft, as evidenced by the fact that it has one pick among the first 142 and has an NFL- low five selections overall. Which isn't to say that the Redskins are without needs, particularly on a defense that was comical for its inability to make plays last year. If it keeps the No. 6 pick, it is likely that Washington would draft a pass rusher such as Clemson's Gaines Adams or Arkansas' Jamaal Anderson. An impact cornerback or safety is also needed, but unless they make some deals to get another pick or two on the first day, one of the Skins' major voids will go unfilled. The Redskins' flirtation with the Bears' Lance Briggs shows that they are looking for an upgrade at outside linebacker. Creating depth at receiver, along the offensive line, and on the defensive interior will have to be a second-day priority.
2006 Record: 5-11
First Pick: No. 6
Number of Selections: 5 (1, 5, 6, 6, 7)

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines
Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
