Sports betting odds list the Philadelphia Eagles at 16-1 to win next year’s Super Bowl. The Eagles have been in the news recently as trade rumors surround quarterback Donovan McNabb. The Eagles also made sports betting online news when they signed New Orleans running back Mike Bell to a one-year, $1.7 million offer sheet.
Sports betting success with the Eagles has come in the regular season but the Eagles have not been able to win a Super Bowl with head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Donovan McNabb. Reid will return this season but rumors are that McNabb may not. The Eagles will not be bringing back running back Brian Westbrook so the addition of Mike Bell makes sense.
Bell was the third running back behind Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush in New Orleans but he got a lot of work anyway, especially near the goal line. “He has a lot of respect for the (Saints) organization and (Coach) Sean Payton and (General Manager) Mickey Loomis. He has a lot of gratitude for the opportunity they gave him. And he has a love affair with the fans there,” Mike Bell’s agent Josh Luchs said, “But he has such a small window to capitalize on the window of opportunity to take his career that was resuscitated by the Saints to another level.”
Philadelphia will definitely put Bell to work next sports betting online NFL season alongside running back LeSean McCoy. The Eagles were just 22nd in the league in rushing a year ago so Bell could be helpful. Philadelphia relied more on the short passing game to move the ball. Bell is considered more of a running back than a receiver so look for him to get goal line carries next season.
It seems that every year the Eagles are addressing the situation regarding quarterback Donovan McNabb. That is happening again this sports betting NFL off-season. The team really likes backup Kevin Kolb and would make a deal involving McNabb if they could get enough in return. McNabb has said that he does not want to leave Philadelphia but is prepared for anything. “My position hasn’t changed. I’ve said all along that I would like to win a Super Bowl and finish my career in Philadelphia.” McNabb said, “I understand the situation well and just hope whichever direction the Eagles decide to go in, they do it quickly. I think that would be best for me, Kevin, Michael, the Eagles, and any other teams involved. No matter what happens, I’ve already begun preparing to have an outstanding season in 2010.”
