Bettors are all set to make an NFL bet on Baltimore. There might not be a more popular team going into the 2010 season than the Baltimore Ravens.

The Baltimore Ravens are gaining event in NFL preseason odds on the odds board at the sportsbook to win the Super Bowl and they're also attracting interest for their preseason games.

The Baltimore Ravens are starting up with the Carolina Panthers on Thursday, August 12th according to NFL preseason bet agenda information. Since they're at home, the Baltimore Ravens will be favored in that game. The Baltimore Ravens are at Washington for their rivalry game against the Redskins in Week 2 of the preseason. In week 3 of the preseason, Baltimore hosts the new york giants while they finish off at St Louis on September 2nd.

The Baltimore Ravens is 14-1 to win the Super Bowl and those odds could fall even more before the regular season commences in September. With the addition of wide receiver Anquan Boldin, the Baltimore Ravens have an offense that is expected to be greater this season. Quarterback Joe Flacco at last has a huge play receiver and the addition of Boldin should open up the offense. Boldin is a physical receiver prepared to run routes in traffic. Flacco has the arm to throw into limited spaces. The Baltimore Ravens should throw with more results, more often.

Baltimore thinks they can win the Super Bowl, so they're taking no chances. They brought in quarterback Marc Bulger as an insurance policy just in case anything happens to Flacco. The Baltimore Ravens were not self-assured in their backup quarterbacks, Troy Smith and John Beck. The Baltimore Ravens are going to be paying Bulger $3.8 million and that's plenty of money for a backup quarterback. He can also earn up to $5.3 million with contract bonuses. That tells you that the Baltimore Ravens are really serious about winning the Super Bowl.

The addition of Bulger could be important in NFL preseason odds because now the Baltimore Ravens have another skilled quarterback. Bulger has 27 games of at least 300 yards passing throughout his career. He became the fifth-fastest quarterback in NFL history to reach the 20,000-yard passing milestone in 2008, doing so in only 81 games. Teams that have the best quarterback depth are the kinds to watch in the preseason. The inclusion of Bulger gives the Baltimore Ravens 2 reliable quarterbacks and then 2 respectable backups in Smith and Beck that will need to excel since the Baltimore Ravens will only retain one of them.

The Baltimore Ravens could pretty likely move Smith to a team that needs a backup throughout training camp or preseason, which is a high likelihood. If the Baltimore Ravens do in fact have plans to move Smith to another team, then Beck will easily be the third stringer, behind Bulger, for the 2010 season. Otherwise he may be on the chopping block.

The Baltimore Ravens kick off the regular season on Monday Night Football on ESPN against the New York Jets. The Baltimore Ravens is a 3-point underdog in that game against the Jets with the total at 37.5.
