Player Wagering props - Vick - Favre
By SportsBettingStats

Brett Favre was supposed to be retired. Michael Vick was supposed to be in jail or, if not, at least suspended.

But here they are, these former QB stars recently re-introduced to the league, and dominating the NFL prop betting landscape. And in Favre's case, he is changing the Super Bowl XLIV future odds discussion, bumping the Vikings to shorter odds to win it all.

On Monday, the future betting lines at Bookmaker.com were +1800 on Minnesota to win the Super Bowl 44. With Favre signed, the odds fell to +1000, meaning if you risked $100 on Monday, you would have made $1800. If you made the same bet today, a Viking victory in the Super Bowl would pay $1000.

The NFC North future odds shortened as well. Minnesota was +160 to win the NFC North Monday and fell to +125 by Wednesday.

AD here?

Moving back to Philly, the Mike Vick prop bets at Bodog.com present an interesting array of odds. For example, will his first TD of the year be as a QB, RB or WR? Considering how the Eagles could potentially use Vick as a weapon in their offensive arsenal, it's a cool question.

Bodog.com posted the rushing option as the favored position.

Passing TD 3/2

Rushing TD 10/17

Receiving TD 4/1
