New Orleans Saints 2009 NFL Predictions, Picks & Betting Odds: The Saints had the league’s top-ranked offense a year ago, but they also had its 23rd-ranked defense. It added up to an 8–8 record, which just doesn’t cut it when your offense is led by Drew Brees, a Super Bowl-caliber quarterback in his prime. The NFL Prediction Experts at online sportsbook Bodog.com have the New Orleans Saints 22-1 odds to win the 2010 NFL Superbowl.
Brees came within one long completion of breaking Dan Marino’s 1984 record of 5,084 passing yards in a season. The Saints’ running game will rely on the two-headed attack of Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas, the former undrafted rookie. The Saints have a deep, versatile corps of receivers. Marques Colston and Lance Moore complement each other well and have emerged as one of the most productive young combinations in the league. The 6-4 Colston has tremendous size and great hands. NFL betting odds makers Bodog.com have the New Orleans Saints listed at 9 to 5 odds to win the NFC South Division.
It’s time for highly paid bookends Will Smith and Charles Grant to earn their money. The unit underwent an offseason overhaul after allowing far too many big plays in the passing game. Four of the team’s five newcomers in the backfield are expected to challenge for starting spots, including rookie cornerback Malcolm Jenkins, free agent cornerback Jabari Greer, free agent safety Darren Sharper and rookie safety Chip Vaughn. The New Orleans Saints OVER 9 WINS for the season is among the top NFL football picks on the board currently at Bodog.com.
All Garrett Hartley did last season was convert 13-of-13 field goals and all 28 extra points after arriving in Week 10. Hartley has a strong leg and has improved the Saints’ kickoff coverage with his deep directional kicks, though he must gain consistency there. The New Orleans Saints are listed at 10/1 odds to win the NFC Championship by the NFL Picks Experts at Bodog.com.
