Primarily the St Louis Rams don’t look to be contenders in NFL betting for the NFC West.
NFL preseason wager odds list the 49ers as the 6-5 fave to win the NFC West this season. Arizona is the 8-5 2nd pick with Seattle at 3-1 followed by St Louis at 10-1. The Cardinals are the defending winners in this division but devoid of quarterback Kurt Warner who retired and receiver Anquan Boldin who went to Baltimore, the Cardinals are no longer favored in the NFC West. That honor goes to San Francisco, but just hardly.
The 49ers have plenty of young expertise nonetheless they still have Alex Smith at quarterback so that is a huge concern. Smith was a first round, first pick of the 2005 NFL Draft and has played with the San Francisco 49ers ever since. He was previously a player for the University of Utah’s Utes. The 49ers can run the ball with Frank Gore and they have intriguing receivers like Michael Crabtree and Vernon Davis but Smith doesn’t consistently get them the ball. The defense is headed by Patrick Willis nonetheless they do have concerns, especially in the secondary.
The performance of quarterback Matt Leinart is what the results of Arizona this year hinges on. This is his last chance to demonstrate he can be an NFL quarterback. Warner is gone so it is up to Leinart to get the job done. Leinart was the 10th pick total in the 2006 NFL Draft by the Cardinals. He doesn’t have plenty of incredibly outstanding plays to his name, but after Kurt Warner retired, he was promoted to starting quarterback. The Cardinals still have Larry Fitzgerald and Beanie Wells so the offense isn’t devoid of expertise. Karlos Dansby and Antrel Rolle are going to be missed by the defense this year.
The Seahawks have a fresh head coach in Pete Carroll and plenty of optimism for 2010. Matt Hasselbeck is still the quarterback and he might not have the ability to lead a team like he did years ago. The team will get Lofa Tatupu back from injury and he will heavily assist the defense.
The Rams have number 1 pick Sam Bradford along with running back Steven Jackson and very little else. Bradford was picked number 1 total in the 2010 NFL Draft. With 36, he holds the NCAA record for touchdown passes by a freshman. He’s won a variety of other honors and may in fact prove very useful for the Rams as a team. The Rams still are lacking expertise in a variety of areas though head coach Steve Spagnuolo is doing a great job.
The popular pick in the NFC West in NFL preseason odds is San Francisco, nonetheless they are no lock to win what looks like the weakest division in the NFL.
