The New Orleans Saints are reigning Super Bowl champs and the sportsbook has them as the 2nd choice in NFL betting at SBG to win this season’s game. 
History is against the Saints though as only the Broncos and New England Patriots have defended their Super Bowl title since the 1995 season. The schedule may help the Saints though as they ought to be favored in sportsbook online probabilities in their 1st 10 games this season.
A highly enthusiastic Dallas team who’s seeking to be the 1st team in NFL history to play the Super Bowl at their home stadium is going to cause difficulty for the Saints. The Dallas Cowboys hold the record for the most Super Bowl appearances in addition to the most NFC championships, and they’re the richest team in the NFL. So even if the Saints make it out of the NFC South, which they’re supposed to do, they might find some resistance still between them and the 2011 Super Bowl.
It ought to be noted that no team has ever won consecutive titles in this division since it started in 2002, even though the Saints are the favorite to win the NFC South. As reigning champions, the Saints are going to have a target on their backs all year. The excellent news for the Saints is that they have one of the least difficult schedules in the league. They’ve got just 5 games against teams that made the playoffs last season.
A rematch of the NFC Championship game against the Minnesota Vikings will begin the season for the Saints. New Orleans is a four-point home favorite in that game. History is on the side of the Saints, although it won’t be an simple game. Defending Super Bowl winners opening at home have worked out well the past few years.
In what is likely to be a disappointment spot after playing the Vikings, the Saints will visit San Francisco in Week 2. The Saints have won the past 5 meetings against the 49ers though and they will be preferred. Week 3 is a pretty difficult home competition against the Atlanta Falcons and then another possible disappointment game against Carolina. The Saints have a winnable two-game road trip with games at Arizona and Tampa Bay. After that, they sponsor Cleveland and Pittsburgh before proceeding to Carolina. The Saints then have their bye week prior to hosting the Seahawks. The Saints most difficult game is likely to be at Dallas on November 25th. They then go to Cincinnati in what will be a difficult game since the Saints usually do not fare well in cold weather. They then come home to sponsor St. Louis before another difficult cold weather game at Baltimore on December 19th. Before completing at home against Tampa Bay, the Saints then have to go to Atlanta in a match that might determine the division.
