The 49ers are the football gambling choice to finish 1st in 2010 as NFL preseason odds are favoring a new squad and new era in the NFC West Division.
NFL preseason odds also like another title run by the Cardinals with the Seahawks a wild card and the St Louis Rams a football gambling longshot. 
After taking over on an interim basis midway through the 2008 season, Mike Singletary returns for his 2nd full season on the job as head coach of the 49ers. Singletary has shown somewhat of a temper during the past, but is attempting to develop his “coaching etiquette”. The 49ers have developed the persona of their coach as a hard hitting and hard running squad that has seen notable advancement on defense.
With better play, Quarterback Alex Smith is at last starting to arise as the number 1 draft pick that he was in 2005 too. He was competing for the starting quarterback position with Shaun Hill in a number of recent seasons. After losing that battle for a number of seasons, he was named starting quarterback following a Week 7 match when he replaced Hill and performed pretty well. Since then, he has displayed signs of progress, even with the team’s 2-5 losing track record in his 1st 7 starts. San Francisco finished 8-8 straight up and lost just 4 games vs the spread proving to be an excellent value in 2009. It had been the team’s 1st non-losing season since 2002.
With the rest of the division weakened it’s easy to understand why the 49ers are such a popular choice with odds makers.
The Cardinals have won the NFC West the previous two seasons but managed it with the now retired Kurt Warner as their quarterback. Matt Leinart has been a disappointment at this point since being drafted by the Big Red in 2006 as their immediate starter. With a second chance as the starter, Leinart now has the opportunity to resurrect his career.
The remarkable Arizona head coach Ken Whisenhunt is 1 positive that gives gamblers cause for comfort. The team was 10-6 straight up and 9-7 vs the spread last year whilst going under the total in 11 games.
As Pete Carroll arrives in Seattle after a highly effective, though dubious reign, as head man for college football’s USC Trojans, another big name coach joins the division this year.
He was a .500 NFL coach in two earlier gigs with the New York Jets and Patriots and takes control of a squad with lots of question marks that make them a less than popular option with the football odds. The status of oft hurt quarterback Matt Hasselbeck is of immediate concern.
The St Louis Rams are still available for sale and are a lottery kind of longshot with the NFL preseason odds. They are still attempting to sign top draft pick Sam Bradford and will have another long season irrespective of his status as the skill is thin and a 1-15 track record from 2009 doesn’t inspire confidence.
