Defending Super Bowl champ Saints are posted by NFL preseason odds as a 9/1 choice to repeat as world winners but there are other leading football gambling choices offered.



NFL preseason odds had San Diego, Baltimore, Dallas, the Jets, Minnesota, New England, Indianapolis, Dallas, and Green Bay as the leading football gambling contenders to dethrone the Saints.

After losing last season on Super Sunday to the Saints, the defending AFC Champ Indianapolis Colts opened as a 9/1 choice to win the Super Bowl. The huge advantage for Indianapolis is quarterback Peyton Manning, the 4-time NFL MVP. Manning is deemed one of the greatest quarterbacks ever. The difficulty with the Colts is age and a weak running game along with a defense that isn’t dominant.

The Saints will have the most volatile offense in the NFL in live football odds directed by quarterback Drew Brees but still have a leaky defense and will be the target of every opponent that they encounter. No Super Bowl champ has repeated since New England in 2004.

Since they emerged from nowhere to almost upset Indianapolis in the AFC Championship competition, the Jets are an appealing choice at 10/1. But New York did so devoid of a reliable quarterback as rookie Mark Sanchez struggled and it took a strong running game and defense to make the Jets soar.

Since the surprise element is absent, the Jets will not offer much board value.

The Dallas Cowboys were a 10/1 choice with the football odds to win the Super Bowl as they try to become the first squad in NFL history to play at home on Super Sunday. Dallas is bettering on both sides of the line and quarterback Tony Romo appears to be peaking.

The Minnesota Vikings have been at 12/1 with their NFC North foe, the Green Bay Packers, at 14/1 to take home the Super Bowl.

Green Bay was one of the better squads on both sides of the line last year but Minnesota has a strong defense and quarterback Brett Favre is arriving off a wonderful season, even though he went back to his old dangerous ways in the Vikings’ loss at New Orleans in the NFC title competition. Favre also hasn’t made it clear yet whether or not he will be playing with the Vikings for the 2010 season. Before he can play again, NFL injuries are a concern as he needs to address an ankle injury that he sustained during the 2009 NFC Championship Game, which hadn’t healed and would require surgery. Basically he has a choice between retirement and the surgery. After a great 19-year run (Favre has been in the league since 1991), it wouldn’t be shocking if he opted to retire.

Due to the fact they have gotten to playoffs in back to back seasons and offer a strong defense and running game, Baltimore makes for an appealing 11/1 choice with the NFL preseason odds to win the Super Bowl. If quarterback Joe Flacco returns to his form of 2008 this is a squad that can go all the way.

The seasoned New England Patriots were also at 12/1 and will always be dangerous with Tom Brady.
