The defending Super Bowl champion the New Orleans Saints are preferred in 2010 NFL preseason probabilities to win the AFC South. You can review NFL odds at the online sportsbook.
The New Orleans Saints are -200 to acquire the division in 2010 NFL preseason betting followed by Atlanta, Carolina and Tampa Bay.
Atlanta is showed by 2010 NFL preseason odds as the 2-1 2nd choice. Carolina is 5-1 whereas Tampa Bay is provided no chance at 20-1. The Saints are the defending Super Bowl victors but in the NFC South, the defending victor practically never wins the following season. That may mean Atlanta takes the championship from New Orleans in 2010.
The last time the Atlanta Falcons appeared in the Super Bowl was in 1999. It is furthermore the sole time they’ve been at the Super Bowl. They were whipped by the Broncos. They also hold the record for the lengthiest streak of seasons without consecutive winning seasons among all major American sports leagues. Their epic run persisted from 1966 to 2008. They finally broke that streak last season when they finished the season with a 9-7 record.
The New Orleans Saints still have Drew Brees and a effective offense but there are some issues. The New Orleans defense was not that great however they got enough turnovers to survive. The Saints may have won the division last season and won the Super Bowl but they are not a squad that seems like a repeat champion.
Atlanta might be right with New Orleans this season. Quarterback Matt Ryan is ready for a major season and the Falcons have a few good weapons with running back Michael Turner, wide receiver Roddy White and tight end Tony Gonzalez. The defense was a huge difficulty for Atlanta last season so they must get better if they wish to contain Brees and the Saints. Since Super Bowl champions can struggle the next season, though, history is on their side.
Carolina didn’t get enough from quarterback Jake Delhomme and he is now gone, though they had a great running game last season with DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart. Matt Moore will head an offense that also features wide receiver Steve Smith. In total the Panthers look like a .500 squad yet again. Losing Julius Peppers weakens the defense.
They have developed a history of 115-121 in the 15 years that the Carolina Panthers have been established. They made an appearance in the 2004 Super Bowl, but were defeated by the Patriots. That same season they attained the nickname “The Cardiac Cats” for winning 7 matches in the last 2 minutes or in overtime.
Tampa Bay is a quite young squad that will likely struggle again this season. Quarterback Josh Freeman had his moments as a rookie but he might take a step back in his sophomore season. Tampa Bay has quite few offensive weapons and the defense is poor. The Bucs actually will have difficulty to contend in this division.
Although Carolina has the capacity to stay in the race for a while, the NFC South ought to be all about New Orleans and Atlanta.
