PrintThe Venetian has released it's annual NFL over/under win total for 2009 but don't worry, I'm not saying you should bet your house on the Arizona Cardinals winning the NFC West. No, the purpose of this post isn't for you to call a bookie or find a site that'll take your wager. Whether you gamble or not, you have to respect Las Vegas' reputation for being near the mark on sports predictions. In the past, Las Vegas odds have been a pretty accurate barometer for NFL win totals, so how did they project the NFC West?
Here are the over/under totals for wins:
- Arizona Cardinals - 9
- Seattle Seahawks - 7.5
- San Francisco 49ers - 7
- St. Louis Rams - 5
For what it's worth there are only five teams with double digit win total line, the Patriots (12), Steelers (11), Giants, Chargers and Colts (all at 10.5). The Cowboys are slightly ahead of the Cardinals at 9.5 wins and the Eagles are even at nine.
I guess if you look at it this way the Cardinals would end up with the #2 seed and a first round bye in the playoffs, if Vegas nailed every line. Do you agree with their projections?

Duh, of course we're going to win the Divison.
Who would win in a fight, Whisenhunt or a Hurricane?
Hold on, hold on, what if the Hurricanes name was Whisenhunt?
Daaaaaaaaaa Cards, Da Cards Da Cards Da Cards Da Cards!!!
Agreed boogatt66
but at the same time, even as a Cardinals fanatic, it is extremely hard to picture a 9+ win season xD I’m sure you understand where i’m coming from though.
I was kind of surprised that the Hawks didn't get more love
I guess Vegas sees their drop off last year as more than just injuries.
New coaching may have something to do with it as well
This next year is going to be a real test for them
Mora doesn't breed confidence after the way his Atlanta tenure imploded
We all leave footprints in the sands of time, just watch out for the discarded fish hooks!
I think I might put a few on the under for Seattle
I see them at 6
