Favre Saga Comes to an End

Thursday August 7, 2008
Brett Favre is now a member of the New York Jets and some sportsbooks have already taken down Super Bowl odds and regular season win totals to make some adjustments. While Favre doesn't guarantee the Jets a playoff berth, he is a solid upgrade over Kellen Clemens or Chad Pennington. Still, it appears that anybody betting the Jets to win the Super Bowl because of the Favre factor, is taking quite a risk.

From a betting standpoint, Favre's influence should make itself known much earlier. The Jets play the Browns tonight and it will be interesting to see how his addition affects the other quarterbacks. Obviously, jobs are now in jeopardy, especially for the third- and fourth-string quarterbacks.

Today's free football play is in the New York Jets game and can be found at Free Sports Betting Picks located in the Sports Gambling 101 section of the site.
