The Mike Singletary led 49ers start their 2010-11 football betting campaign after finishing the preseason a perfect 4-0. They will give QB Alex Smith another chance to prove that he is the man for the 49ers starting QB job and improve their 22nd ranked passing offense from a year ago. He will look for targets in the form of WR’s Michael Crabtree, Miami castoff Ted Ginn Jr. and TE Vernon Davis to ignite their offense. Newly acquired RB Brian Westbrook will share time with Frank Gore to pace the ground game in 2010 and help improve the 25th ranked rushing attack in the league a year ago.

Seattle drafted OT Russell Okung and signed him to a huge six-year deal in the offseason and hope he can help improve the Offensive Line. The Seahawks look to improve after a letdown last season when they went 5-11 SU & won only six of 16 ATS. The Seahawks will rely on QB Matt Hasselbeck to return to form and improve the 15th ranked passing attack from last season. Unfortunately for him, Deion Branch is the only reliable receiver for him to throw too.
