Anybody seen any opening lines on the UFL games for next weekend? :toast:

I've seen no lines at all. I figured the big books would offer betting on the league, but nothing so far.

UFL is what I meant to put sorry

 

[YourAllAmerican]

Las Vegas and Florida look to have the most talent at the skill positions. I can't make a call about the lines, though.

There's always room for more football, right?

That's what commissioner Michael Huyghue is counting on as he launches the United Football League Thursday night.

The UFL, with franchises in Las Vegas, New York, Orlando and San Francisco, is kicking off an eight-week schedule with a matchup of the California Redwoods and Las Vegas Locomotives at 9 p.m. ET on Versus.

Huyghue, a former NFL executive and player agent, has developed a model he believes will enable the UFL to be successful where several other pro football leagues have failed in the past. Keep the costs low, bring the game to cities that don't have great access to the NFL (games will also be played in Hartford, Conn., and Los Angeles) and play in the fall — to capitalize on what he said is a fan base that craves football every day of the week.

"If you do those things and provide affordable prices to fans," Huyghue said, "we believe that's the right model to be successful."

The average price of tickets is $20. Players' salaries range from $35,000 to $60,000, well below the NFL minimum of $310,000.

Former NFL coaches such as Dennis Green, Jim Haslett and Jim Fassel are headlining UFL teams. And veteran NFL players such as J.P. Losman, Simeon Rice and Michael Pittman are on UFL rosters, hoping a strong performance can be a springboard to a new chance in the NFL.

Rice, 35, a three-time Pro Bowl defensive end, said he hopes to be back on an NFL roster after the UFL wraps in late November (league rules prevent players from joining the NFL until the UFL schedule finishes). Rice wants to use the new league as a showcase to NFL teams. "Everybody has a story," Rice said. "This league allows you to tell it ... through dramatic play."

All of the UFL's games will be televised on either Versus or HDNet. Fans will notice several rule changes that will differentiate the UFL from the NFL. Among them:

• There is no tuck rule

• Intentional grounding is allowed

• "Tasteful" group celebrations are permissible

• Both teams will get a possession in overtime

Rice said that, with rules that limit blitzing, he expects boatloads of touchdowns to be a hallmark of the UFL. "You should see a lot of high-scoring games," he said.

"It lends itself to a college atmosphere because you have a lot of guys that are playing with such motivation."

liked the over myself. I dont think the "league" can afford to be boring trying to build an audience in such a short time period, and since most of the players will be unknown to the casual fan, the way to build an audience is threw excitement, which means points

I got inside info from a guy that works in the league. He said California's OL is fat and out of shape. He also said the QB play for Vegas is much better than California's. My money will be on Vegas.
