Kudos to Mike Wilkening for being the first to grab and post the William Hill 2013 NFL Season Wins.  They went live in the past hour. Here they are, as compared to the others openers which hit the market within the past week.

Yesterday the LVH released its NFL season win totals and Behind the Bets grabbed them to share for worldwide public consumption.  Here they are in graphical form, as compared to the openers that Cantor Gaming released and Atlantis Casino.

Late Friday night, the second Friday night in a row to feature a late night release, Cantor Gaming released their 2013 NFL Season Win Totals.  The Las Vegas Review Journal posted them around midnight Eastern time.  At their release, Cantor was the 1st book in Vegas to release season wins (2nd book overall the first being Atlantis Casino).

Below you’ll find the comparison for the first 2 books on the market, and I also encourage you to read THIS article from the Beyond the Bets website, comparing some variances between Cantor’s point spreads for every game this season vs. those Atlantis lines.

And if you missed the Week 1 thru 16 point spreads from Cantor Gaming released last Friday night, here they are organized by team.

I’ll be back later this month breaking down the NFL divisions and looking at individual games I’m looking at betting based on these early point spreads, and later, season win totals.  My 2012 Regular Season Wins Plays went 6-2, 75% (Ws: Ind O 5, Jac U 5.5, Min O 6, TB O 6, NYG U 9.5, Ari U 7; Ls: Cin U 8, Buf O 8 )

As indicated on the sheet in the book shared by Beyond the Bets, Cantor is dealing 20 cent lines, while Atlantis is dealing 30 cent lines.

Below you will find all of the lines released by Cantor Gaming for the 2013 NFL season, weeks 1 thru 16.  You can easily jump to your favorite team. An * indicates the home team is an underdog.  The column on the far right displays only the selected team’s line, no matter if they are home or away.

Later this month I will begin a series which was very popular last season, which examines and breaks down all of the opening lines by division, and provides insightful and interesting trends and situational spots which you should prepare for.  Not only was the series well liked by readers, it previewed situational plays which recorded solid results during the 2012 season.

So stay tuned for updates on the “Opening Line Analysis by Division: 2013 Edition” via Twitter (@Sharpfootball), where I will be sharing tweets on several of these angles as well as the reports themselves toward the end of this month.

And kudos to @JoeFortenbaugh for being the first that I saw to share the initial numbers from Cantor.
