So I'm thinking betting on single games will have some slant towards the house and may not be even worth doing. We'll see I guess. It just seems like a big leap from having to pick 3 games and now being able to bet on just one. But they do it in other places and maybe it gets more people betting.

Sportselect is terrible because you have to get three games right to win anything, and not only does the team have to win, they have to win by more than 3 points. Unless you want to have some fun throwing $5 at trying to pick 3-4 tie games or enter pools it's not worth the effort.
Betting single games moneyline, the payouts are a bit less because a 1 point win still counts, and you only need to get that game right.
Right now you can get the Browns +6.5 on play Alberta at 1.76 to 1, on play Alberta...on Sportselect it's 1.70 to 1 and you need to get two other games correct. Nobody should every play Spread on Sportselect. The more advanced sites out there will have lines move and options to buy points. At this minute I would rather take the -1.76:1 on Cleveland +6.5 than get 1.91:1 for Cleveland +5.5 that bet 365 is offering.
