Online Gambling – Seahawks Stun the Saints and the fans love it. One of the biggest NFL upsets in online gambling in recent memory occurred on Saturday as the Seattle Seahawks stunned the New Orleans Saints. The Seahawks were getting about 10 points at Internet gambling companies and given very little chance of winning the game.
Super Bowl Champs are Gone
The Seahawks were given almost no chance by gamblers at the Sbg global sportsbook to upset the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints. The Seahawks were considered a laughingstock at 7-9. They are not considered a joke anymore though after pulling out a 41-36 win. Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck threw four touchdown passes and Marshawn Lynch had one of the best TD runs in playoff history as the Seahawks became the first team in NFL history with a losing record to win a playoff game. The Saints continued their road misery in the playoffs. The Saints won the Super Bowl last season but they didn’t have to play on the road to get there. New Orleans is now 0-4 all-time on the road in the playoffs. New Orleans was considered the second best team in the NFC behind the Atlanta Falcons but now they are gone.
NFC West Success
The NFC West is 9-5 in the playoffs since 2005. You can thank the Cardinals for much of that success but the division has won at least one game in the playoffs every year since 2005. The division has the best postseason record at 9-5 of any division in the NFL the past five years.
Seattle Going on the Road
The Seahawks were not a bad team this season at home but on the road they were awful. Winning at Qwest field is one thing but winning on the road in the playoffs is another story. Seattle has won its last five playoff games at Qwest Field. Seattle had a great performance against the Saints but winning at either Chicago or Atlanta will be very difficult. Some people at Internet gambling companies are comparing the Seahawks to the Cardinals of a few years ago but that is not a valid comparison. This is still a bad Seattle team. They were really poor on the road this season in online gambling so the magic should end this weekend.
