The New Orleans Saints are defending Super Bowl champs and the sports books has them as the second choice in NFL betting at SBG to win this year’s match.




History is against the New Orleans Saints though as only the Broncos and New England Patriots have defended their Super Bowl title since the 1995 year. The schedule might support the New Orleans Saints however as they’re likely to be favored in sports books online probabilities in their first ten games this year.

They are also going to have to compete with a highly determined Dallas team who’s trying to be the first team in NFL history to play the Super Bowl at their home stadium. The Cowboys hold the record for the most Super Bowl appearances in addition to the most NFC championships, and they are the richest team in the NFL. So they could find some resistance still between them and the 2011 Super Bowl, even if the New Orleans Saints make it out of the NFC South, which they are anticipated to do.

It should be noted that no team has ever won consecutive titles in this division since it started in 2002, although the New Orleans Saints are the favorite to win the NFC South. As defending champs, the New Orleans Saints are going to have a target on their backs all year. The good news for the New Orleans Saints is that they have one of the simplest schedules in the league. They have just 5 games vs teams that got to playoffs last year.

The Saints commence the year with a rematch of the NFC Championship game against the Minnesota Vikings. New Orleans is a four-point home favorite in that match. It won’t be an easy match but history is on the side of the New Orleans Saints. Reigning Super Bowl victors starting at home have worked out nicely the previous few years.

In what is likely to be a letdown spot after playing the Vikings, the New Orleans Saints will visit San Francisco in Week 2. The Saints have won the past 5 meetings against the 49ers though and they will be liked. Week 3 is a very challenging home game vs the Atlanta Falcons and then another likely letdown match vs Carolina. The New Orleans Saints have a winnable two-game road trip with games at Arizona and Tampa Bay. After that, they sponsor Cleveland and Pittsburgh before going to Carolina. The New Orleans Saints then get their bye week just before hosting the Seahawks. The Saints hardest match is likely to be at Dallas on November 25th. They then go to Cincinnati in what will be a challenging match since the New Orleans Saints usually do not fare well in cold weather. They then come home to sponsor St. Louis before another challenging cold weather match at Baltimore on December 19th. The Saints then have to go to Atlanta in a game that might decide the division before completing at home against Tampa Bay.
