The last two Super Bowl champions will be at work Thursday night, helping usher in the latest NFL betting campaign. Heading into their Week 1 affair, both the Green Bay Packers and visiting New Orleans Saints will look to justify their lofty spots on the futures board.

Though they were disappointed in the first round of the playoffs by the shocking Seattle Seahawks last season, the Saints sit with 12/1 odds of winning the Super Bowl in 2012. The Packers, coming off a fantastic post-season run and returning many of the stars who got them there, are even better with 7/1 odds.

But the best part about the return of football is that fans are no longer limited to only playing Super Bowl futures. With regular season action just days away, individual tilts with individual NFL betting lines await in the online sportsbook ripe for the plucking.

Can Drew Brees and co. rebound from their early exit last winter? They?ll be looking to do so under one of the biggest spotlights the NFL has to offer.

The Packers, on the other hand, have nothing to fear aside from how they manage the extended pressure that inevitably comes with the newly-set targets on their backs. If Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews III can put forth efforts this season that they did last, they should be just fine.

Bet on the NFL in the online sportsbook now.

Odds Favor Momentum as 2011 and 2010 Super Bowl Champs Collide

Point spread: New England -7

Over/Under: 45.5

The New England Patriots kick-off their regular season against a familiar opponent when they tangle with the Miami Dolphins this Monday night at Sun Life Stadium in this AFC East matchup. The game is slated to get underway at 7 p.m. (ET) and it will be broadcast nationally on ESPN.

New England raced to an NFL-best 14-2 record last season only to lose to its bitter rival, the Jets, 28-21 as 9.5-point home favorite in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. The Patriots have been instilled by Bodog as the favorites to win the Super Bowl this season at 11/2.

Quarterback Tom Brady appeared to be in mid-season form in limited play in the preseason and has the majority of the weapons back from an offense that finished the season ranked eighth in the NFL in total yards per game and first in points with an average of 32.4 a game. Wes Welker and Deion Branch will once again anchor the receiving corps, but New England added Chad Ochocinco as an added twist to the passing game.

Miami?s miraculous 11-5 record and AFC East title in 2008 must seem like a faded memory to fourth-year head coach Tony Sparano after his team posted back-to-back 7-9 seasons. An even bigger issue for this game was the Dolphins dismal performance at home last season, where they went just 1-7 SU.

The much maligned Chad Henne will get the start at quarterback on Monday night for Miami. Henne completed 61.4 percent of his throws in 2010 for 3,301 yards and 15 touchdowns, but he is better known for his 19 interceptions and inconsistent play. The addition of Reggie Bush catching balls out of the backfield will help, but the Dolphins will have to find a way to improve upon the 17.1 points a game they averaged last year, which ranked them 30th in the league.

Head-to-head, the Patriots have won seven of the last 10 games SU. They outscored Miami 79-21 in the two games last season, easily covering the spread in each. The road team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings and the total has gone ?over? in four of the last six games between the two.

Count on Brady to come out firing on Monday in an effort to put this one away early. The Dolphins are just too outmatched in offensive fire power to stand toe-to-toe with this team.

The Pick: New England 34 Miami 13

Point spread: New York -4

Over/Under: 40.5

The Dallas Cowboys will look to start this season on a winning note when they take on the New York Jets on Sunday night at the New Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey. The game is slated to start at 8:20 p.m. (ET) and it will be broadcast nationally on NBC.

Last season did not go anywhere near as planned for Dallas after a 1-6 start completely derailed this team. Jason Garrett was promoted to head coach and helped corral the Cowboys to a 6-10 finish. Heading into this season, he is confident this team has what it takes to return to the top of the NFC East.

Having Tony Romo back as his starting quarterback will definitely help after he missed the final 10 games of the year with a broken collar bone. Also back is wide receiver Dez Bryant, who went down with a broken ankle in early November. Throw in Miles Austin and Jason Witten in the passing game and Felix Jones and Tashard Choice running the ball and this team should be able to put some points on the board.

New York, under head coach Rex Ryan, have been all about creating a solid rushing attack and a shutdown defense. This has gotten the Jets to two straight AFC Championship games, but they will need better production from third-year quarterback Mark Sanchez in order to take the next step. He has managed the game well, but has yet to show the ability to put this team on his back and carry it to a championship.

The first step would be to improve upon a 54.8 completion percentage that is just not getting the job done. Fortunately, Sanchez will have wide receiver Santonio Holmes back as well as Plaxico Burress to try and improve these numbers. The Jets also have that running game to fall back on, led by Shonn Greene and rookie Bilal Powell.

Dallas is 5-0 against the spread in its last five games as an underdog and the total has gone ?over? in six of its last seven games as a dog.

New York is 4-9 ATS in its last 13 games as a favorite of 3.5 points or more. The total has gone ?over? in seven of its last 10 games as a favorite.

Romo could struggle in his first game back after the long layoff, but the Cowboys keep things close enough to cover the four points in a game that stays ?under? the total.

The Pick: New York 17 Dallas 16

The CFL's top two West Division teams will square off in a primetime bout this long weekend when the 6-2 Calgary Stampeders host the 5-3 Edmonton Eskimos on Monday afternoon.

Not only does the match serve as a potential preview of the league's West Division final, it also gives bettors an inside look at two heated story lines that ought to factor into any CFL betting decision.

Though both teams sit towards the top of the Grey Cup futures list, they?re headed in vastly opposite directions.

Having won their last four games, the Stampeders are well on their way to replicating last year?s success when they finished the 2010 campaign with the best record in Canadian football.

The Eskimos, on the other hand, after winning their first five games of the season have been in free fall ever since. With just 5/1 odds of winning the Grey Cup - a low mark considering six of the eight teams in the league make the playoffs - bettor confidence is obviously waning.

In contrast, the Stampeders have 9/4 odds of winning the CFL championship this fall. A mark even more optimistic than the 7-1 Blue Bombers and two-time reigning champion Alouettes.

Will the Stampeders continue their torrid run through the league or will the spotlight be all Edmonton needs to get their wayward season back on track?

Bet CFL Action with Bodog.
