The New Orleans Saints won 13 games this past season but couldn’t get past the second round of the playoffs. They’ll be looking for better results next season as one of the favorites on the opening Super Bowl XLVII odds at Bovada.
Find the complete NFL betting list for the 2012-13 season at Bovada.
The Saints are listed at 8/1 on the opening Super Bowl XLVII odds at Bovada, which puts them behind only the 6/1 Green Bay Packers and the 7/1 New England Patriots. The Texans, Eagles, and Steelers are all just behind them at 12/1 odds to win the title.
New Orleans went 13-3 straight up and a lucrative 12-4 against the spread during the regular season, then thumped the Lions 45-28 in the first round of the playoffs. The Saints, though, faltered in San Francisco in the second round, losing 36-32 in that contest.
Drew Brees went 40 of 63 for 462 yards passing with four touchdowns and two interceptions in that loss to the Niners, and during the season he posted a QB Rating of 110.6 with 5,476 passing yards, 46 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions en route to being named the league’s Offensive Player of the Year.
And those kind of numbers are going to cost the Saints some big dollars, as Brees is a free agent this offseason. The quarterback is expected to come to a long-term agreement with the team at some point in the next month, although the franchise tag is a possibility too.
The Saints also have offensive guard Carl Nicks and wide receiver Marques Colston set to become free agents this offseason, and they’re both candidates for the franchise tag as well – the deadline for that important decision would be March 5.
