Giants fan Jack Vecchio of San Diego reacts to a play as he watches the Super Bowl at the Las Vegas Hotel’s Superbook Sunday, February 5, 2012.

Tuesday’s release of the NFL schedule captured the fascination of football-hungry fans across the country, and in Las Vegas that means a clamoring for the Week 1 betting lines.
The LVH SuperBook’s Jay Kornegay heard the masses and on Wednesday he will oblige with the full list of Week 1 sides, totals and money lines.
“We weren’t planning on posting the numbers until Saturday, but it’s a hot topic and a lot of people were asking what the lines were going to be,” Kornegay said.
There were plenty of people at the counters asking about the numbers, but Kornegay said equally important was the buzz about the schedule on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook.
“We understood that the demand was there,” he said.
Everything will be available at the LVH SuperBook in the mid-afternoon Wednesday. Kornegay said if they were just posting the sides it wouldn’t take very long as those had already been under discussion. But getting everything up, into the system and onto the sheets will take a little more time.
That should be OK with most NFL bettors, especially when you consider the season-opening game — Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants — is still 20 weeks away.
