Reid confirms Bowles as secondary coach; Castillo remains DC

Football Betting Lines

01/31/2012 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid said Tuesday that Juan Castillo will remain the team's defensive coordinator and also confirmed that Todd Bowles will join the staff as secondary coach.

Bowles finished the 2011 season as the interim head coach for Miami after Tony Sparano was fired with three games remaining. He was considered for the full- time position with the Dolphins, who instead went with Green Bay offensive coordinator Joe Philbin.

Castillo, meanwhile, had come under fire last season, his first as defensive coordinator. He moved over from the offensive side of the ball and the Eagles struggled defensively.

There had been speculation that Reid might make a change, especially when former Eagles assistant Steve Spagnuolo became available after being fired as Rams head coach.

"Steve and I are good friends," Reid stated Tuesday. "When Steve was released from the Rams, I did offer him a spot here to coach if he needed one.

"My feeling was if you could have two great coaches on defense, it was better than one. That's as far as it went. I didn't offer him any titles. He wanted to look at other places."

Spagnuolo did and is set to become the defensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints. He left Philadelphia after eight seasons to become the defensive coordinator for the division-rival Giants in 2007, and spent two years with New York before taking the Rams' top job in 2009.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl

NFL Super Bowl Betting

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.

Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.

The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.
