NFL preseason odds have 2 favorites in the NFC North Division with the Vikings and Green Bay Packers as the leading 2 football betting choices in online betting.
The Monsters of the Midway may prove to be a football betting sleeper that offers fantastic value although NFL preseason odds have longer odds on the Chicago Bears. 
The Vikings rallied to conclude 12-4 straight up in NFL betting at SBG and secure the NFC North Division last year when covering the spread nine times. Brett Favre agreed to play a more controlled style under head coach Brad Childress and had one of the nicest seasons of his career while throwing only 7 interceptions, an all time low for the future hall of famer. Favre, however, may not be heading back this year as a result of an ankle injury he sustained during the 2009 NFC Championship Game. As Favre said, he’s facing either surgery on his ankle or retirement. For the 40-year-old, 19-year NFL veteran, retirement is not out of the question. However, Favre has also confessed to a passion for the sport that keeps him heading back for more.
The defense was ambitious and a turnover/sack machine while Adrian Peterson was a powerful runner, though prone to fumbles. Minnesota defeated themselves in the NFC championship competition with 5 turnovers at New Orleans. The Vikings are at their greatest and must take advantage of that before the window of opportunity closes.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has emerged into elite position and the Green Bay Packers were a top five team in the NFL on both sides of the line last year. The Green Bay Packers defense showed noticeable improvement, and the team ended 11-5 straight up and a super 11-4-1 against the spread.
It will be tricky for Green Bay to cover 11 games for the second sequential season as well as lead the NFL in turnover percentage as they did last year. Based on those 2 factors, gamblers may want to use caution.
The Chicago Bears are going to have a far more positive outlook and new coordinators for both offense and defense as super star linebacker and team leader Brian Urlacher returns after missing last year because of an injury. Urlacher is seen as one of the top defensive competitors in the league. He has won the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award in 2000 and the NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award in 2005, becoming only the 5th competitor in NFL history to win both, and he’s been to the Pro Bowl six times.
Under new offensive coordinator Mike Martz, quarterback Jay Cutler should blossom and rebound with a powerful year. Chicago could be an unanticipated value bet with the football odds this year.
The Lions are still digging out from the debacle that was the Matt Millen era, so they are a well justified longshot with the NFL preseason odds. Detroit did win 2 games last year after losing all 16 in 2008 and covered only 4 games against the spread last year.
Quarterback Matt Stafford must show noticeable improvement and better toughness after a difficult rookie season in 2009, and there are simply too many holes yet to fill on the Lions.
