NFL Preseason Odds For Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks are regarded as a significant contender in NFL lines this season in NFL betting in the NFC West.

The San Francisco 49ers are the lukewarm favorites to win the division with the Arizona Cardinals the second pick. Seattle is the 3-1 third choice in NFL preseason wagering.

NFL preseason odds list the Seahawks as 48-1 longshots to secure the Super Bowl. The Seahawks may win their own division, though they might not win the Super Bowl. The Cardinals look much weaker without retired quarterback Kurt Warner and receiver Anquan Boldin whereas San Francisco isn't regarded as a certainty either.

The Seahawks have renewed optimism and a fresh head coach in Pete Carroll coming into the 2010 season. The squad still has Matt Hasselbeck at quarterback. Since becoming the starter in 2003, Hasselbeck has directed Seattle to 5 playoff appearances and a Super Bowl appearance as well as being selected three times for the Pro Bowl. And the squad has a sound wide receiver in T.J. Houshmandzadeh. Houshmandzadeh was signed to a five-year $40 million contract with $15 million assured by the Seahawks on in March of 2009.

They also have a lot of doubts to answer. The Seahawks may be liked in three of their 4 preseason games. They will be liked in NFL preseason odds in that contest when they kick off by hosting Tennessee on August 14th. They may furthermore be a slight fave at home in Week 2 vs Green Bay. They will be underdogs at Minnesota in Week 3 though anything is possible for their preseason finale vs Oakland on September second.

Carroll starts off the concerns for Seattle in NFL preseason wagering. He was a exceptional coach at USC but he has never won consistently in the NFL. Carroll is putting his faith this year in 35 year old Matt Hasselbeck who's seen better days. It is up to Charlie Whitehurst if Hasselbeck does not get the job done, and he does not inspire a lot of confidence. Whitehurst does not have an outstanding history. He simply does not have a lot of claims to fame. He was traded to the Seattle Seahawks in March of this year in return for a third-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft and a trade with the Chargers for a better second round pick in this year's draft. The Seahawks signed him to a two-year, $10 million contract. That does not quite speak volumes about the Seahawks' confidence in Whitehurst as a quarterback.

The Seahawks did have a great draft as they received left tackle Russell Okung, free safety Earl Thomas and receiver Golden Tate. They need all three to contribute immediately. Last year they had next to nothing, so this year the offense also needs to find someone that can run the ball.

Last season the defense for Seattle was not very great. They could not stop the pass in any way. They need Thomas to play immediately as a rookie and they need cornerback Marcus Trufant to be healthy. The Seahawks do have Aaron Curry who had a nice rookie season and getting Lofa Tatupu back will support.
