There are moneymaking opportunities, and there is what the bookmakers at the Vegas Hilton have done, which is hand out an invitation to steal. They haven't seen an NFL team's full roster, don't know what kind of schemes a lot of franchises are running and can't even tell you if TO is going to beat out Chad Johnson for AFC's most disruptive receiver. But they are posting lines like it's the Monday before Week 12, not the Wednesday before just another April Thursday. As I said to the Hilton's boss bookmaker Jay Kornegay while we walked through the back halls of the sportsbook, "This is downright irresponsible."  He laughed at me. The truth is, these games will get the majority of action the day they kick off, and by then the lines will have tightened up based on a summer of training camp, injuries and surprise breakouts. But until then, you can find weakness in these lines. Here are three (in addition to the Bears plus-three against the Packers, which you can read about here) I think are worth your attention and your dollars: The early plays on Rams-Seahawks, 49ers-Cards and Jags-Colts -- are available exclusively to ESPN Insiders.
