The Saints are reigning Super Bowl winners and the sports books has them as the second choice in NFL betting at SBG to win this season’s match.
History is vs the Saints though as only the Broncos and New England Patriots have defended their Super Bowl title since the 1995 year. The schedule may support the Saints however as they’re likely to be liked in sportsbook online probabilities in their 1st ten games this year.
A really motivated Dallas team who’s seeking to be the 1st squad in NFL history to play the Super Bowl at their home stadium is going to cause difficulty for the Saints. The Cowboys are the richest team in the NFL and hold the record for the most Super Bowl appearances in addition to the most NFC championships. So they might find some resistance still between them and the 2011 Super Bowl, even if the New Orleans Saints make it from the NFC South, which they are anticipated to do.
It ought to be noted that no team has ever won consecutive titles in this division since it started in 2002, despite the fact that the New Orleans Saints are the fave to win the NFC South. As defending champions, the Saints are going to have a target on their backs all year. The good news for the Saints is that they’ve got one of the least complicated schedules in the league. They have just five competitions vs squads that made the playoffs last season.
A rematch of the NFC Championship game versus the Minnesota Vikings will commence the year for the Saints. New Orleans is a four-point home fave in that competition. It is not going to be an easy match but history is on the side of the New Orleans Saints. Reigning Super Bowl champs opening at home have worked out well the last few seasons.
The Saints will visit San Francisco in Week 2 in what figures to be a letdown spot after playing the Vikings. Nevertheless, the Saints will be preferred since they have won the past five meetings versus the 49ers. Week 3 is a quite tough home matchup vs the Atlanta Falcons and then another potential disappointment game against Carolina. The New Orleans Saints have a winnable two-game road trip with matches at Arizona and Tampa Bay. They then sponsor Cleveland and Pittsburgh before going to Carolina. The Saints then have their bye week prior to hosting the Seahawks. The Saints most difficult competition looks to be at Dallas on November 25th. Since the New Orleans Saints usually do not fare well in cold weather, they then go to Cincinnati in what will be a difficult game. They then return home to sponsor St. Louis prior to another difficult cold weather competition at Baltimore on December 19th. The Saints then have to go to Atlanta in a match that may determine the division before finishing up at home vs Tampa Bay.
