The Atlanta Falcons could be a real threat to the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints in NFC South Football betting this year. Gamblers who make an Football bet have been thinking about the over, and the Falcons have a victory total at the sports books of 10.



The Falcons are the second choice, though Football sports betting prospects still like the Saints to win the NFC South this year. Atlanta has a quite great coaching staff directed by Mike Smith and he has transformed the culture in Atlanta to one of success. Quarterback Matt Ryan and running back Michael Turner lead the offense for the Falcons. Last year wasn’t a fantastic one for Turner as he battled injuries a lot of the year. He should have a major year in 2010 as he is now healthy. The Falcons have a quite great tight end in Tony Gonazlez and a fantastic receiver in Roddy White.

The defense had a few good games last year but injuries were a problem. Defensive tackle Peria Jerry was hurt in week two and missed the remainder of the year. His return should support right end John Abraham who did not have his biggest year in 2009. Curtis Lofton, who should have gotten to the Pro Bowl, is an great linebacker for the Falcons. A secondary that allowed way too many big plays was the problem for Atlanta last year. They rated 28th in the Football against the pass in sport betting. Since they play in the same division as the Saints, that is a serious problem. They are hoping that the signing of Dunta Robinson will improve the secondary.

Last year the Falcons were beset by injuries and they struggled against a hard schedule. Issues should be much better in 2010. The Falcons have a victory total of ten so they would have to win 11 games to go over that total for those placing an Football bet. The Falcons have a winnable opener against Pittsburgh who’s devoid of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. They should beat Arizona prior to going to New Orleans. They sponsor San Francisco and then go to Cleveland and Philadelphia. A 4-2 start is achievable. They have hard home games against Cincinnati and Baltimore but a winnable competition vs Tampa Bay. That would make them 6-3 if they split the games vs the Bengals and Ravens. They have road games at St. Louis, Tampa, Carolina and Seattle. They should win 3 of those 4 which would make them 9-4. Then they would need to win two of their 3 home games vs Green Bay, New Orleans and Carolina to get to 11 wins.
