Gamblers making an NFL preseason wager may have a challenging time choosing between the San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks as their football betting pick, since the NFC West wants to be 1 of the most competitive divisions this season.



Only the St Louis Rams do not look to be contenders in NFL betting for the NFC West.

NFL preseason wager odds list the 49ers as the 6-5 favorite to win the NFC West this season. Arizona is the 8-5 second pick with Seattle at 3-1 followed by St Louis at 10-1. The Cardinals are the reigning winners in this division but without quarterback Kurt Warner who retired and receiver Anquan Boldin who went to Baltimore, the Arizona Cardinals are no longer favored in the NFC West. That honor goes to San Francisco, but only scarcely.

The 49ers still have Alex Smith at quarterback so that is a serious concern, as well as all the young expertise they have. Smith has competed with the San Francisco 49ers ever since he was a 1st round, 1st pick of the 2005 NFL Draft. He was earlier a competitor for the University of Utah’s Utes. The 49ers can run the ball with Frank Gore and they’ve interesting receivers like Michael Crabtree and Vernon Davis but Smith doesn’t consistently get them the ball. They do have worries, particularly in the secondary, though the defense is led by Patrick Willis.

The play of quarterback Matt Leinart is what the results of Arizona this season hinges on. This is his remaining chance to show he can be an NFL quarterback. It is up to Leinart to get the job done since Warner is gone. Leinart was the 10th pick in total in the 2006 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals. After Kurt Warner retired, he was promoted to starting quarterback even though he doesn’t have a lot of incredibly extraordinary plays to his name. The offense is not without expertise since the Arizona Cardinals still have Larry Fitzgerald and Beanie Wells. The defense is likely to miss Karlos Dansby and Antrel Rolle this season.

The Seattle Seahawks have a fresh head coach in Pete Carroll and a lot of anticipation for 2010. Matt Hasselbeck may not have the ability to lead a team like he did years ago, but he is still the quarterback. Lofa Tatupu will very assist the defense, once the team gets him back from injury.

The Rams have number 1 pick Sam Bradford and also running back Steven Jackson and pretty little else. In the 2010 NFL Draft, Bradford was picked number 1 in total. He holds the NCAA record for touchdown passes by a freshman with 36. He’s won several other honors and may in fact prove pretty useful for the Rams as a team. The Rams still are lacking expertise in several areas though head coach Steve Spagnuolo is doing a great job.

The hot pick in the NFC West in NFL preseason odds is San Francisco, nevertheless they are no lock to win what looks like the poorest division in the NFL.
