The Seattle Seahawks are considered a considerable contender in NFL lines this season in NFL betting in the NFC West. 
The San Francisco 49ers are the lukewarm faves to secure the division with the Arizona Cardinals the 2nd pick. Seattle is the 3-1 third pick in NFL preseason wagering.
NFL preseason odds list the Seattle Seahawks as 48-1 underdogs to claim the Super Bowl. While the Seahawks might not win the Super Bowl they could win their own division. The Cardinals seem much weaker without retired quarterback Kurt Warner and receiver Anquan Boldin though San Francisco isn’t considered a sure thing either.
The Seahawks have restored optimism and a new head coach in Pete Carroll coming into the 2010 season. The squad still has got Matt Hasselbeck at quarterback. Hasselbeck has led Seattle to 5 playoff appearances and a Super Bowl appearance in addition to being selected three times for the Pro Bowl since becoming the starter in 2003. And the squad has a reliable wide receiver in T.J. Houshmandzadeh. Houshmandzadeh was signed by the Seattle Seahawks in March of 2009 to a five-year $40 million contract with $15 million assured.
They’ve also got lots of questions to answer. In three of their 4 preseason competitions, the Seattle Seahawks could be favored. They kick off by hosting Tennessee on August 14th and they will be favored in NFL preseason odds in that contest. They could additionally be a slight fave at home in Week 2 vs Green Bay. They will be underdogs at Minnesota in Week 3 though anything is feasible for their preseason finale vs Oakland on September second.
Carroll starts off the issues for Seattle in NFL preseason wagering. He has never won consistently in the NFL though he was a amazing coach at USC. Carroll is placing his faith this year in 35 year old Matt Hasselbeck who has been through better days. It is up to Charlie Whitehurst if Hasselbeck doesn’t get the job done, and he doesn’t inspire lots of confidence. Whitehurst doesn’t have an outstanding history. He basically doesn’t have several claims to fame. He was traded to the Seattle Seahawks in March of this year in trade for a third-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft and a trade with the Chargers for a better 2nd round pick in this year’s draft. He was brought in by the Seahawks to a two-year, $10 million contract. That doesn’t really speak volumes about the Seahawks’ confidence in Whitehurst as a quarterback.
The Seahawks received left tackle Russell Okung, free safety Earl Thomas and receiver Golden Tate, so they did have a solid draft. They require all three to contribute straight away. A year ago they had almost nothing, so this year the offense also wants to find someone that can run the ball.
Last season the defense for Seattle wasn’t pretty excellent. They couldn’t stop the pass at all. They need Thomas to play straight away as a rookie and they need cornerback Marcus Trufant to be healthy. Aaron Curry, who had a nice rookie season, will be with the Seattle Seahawks, and receiving Lofa Tatupu back will help.
