Sportsbook Website – Brett Favre’s Return Impacts More than Just Football Odds. The big news this week that impacted odds at the sportsbook website was Brett Favre’s return to the Minnesota Vikings. There is no doubt that Minnesota is better with Favre and odds at the sportsbook company had to be adjusted. What has also been affected is fantasy football as the value of Minnesota players just went way up.
Sportsbook website odds at SBG on the Vikings went down when the return of Favre was announced. The Vikings are Super Bowl contenders with Favre. Without him they were just 50-50 to make the playoffs. What is sometimes forgotten with Farve is how much he helps players around him. He affects the chances of Minnesota winning the Super Bowl and he also impacts a number of players in fantasy football.
Minnesota’s Explosive Offense: The Vikings are loaded with offensive talent with Adrian Peterson, Sidney Rice, Percy Harvin, Visanthe Shiancoe and Bernard Berrian. All of these players except for Peterson are better with Favre in the lineup. Peterson’s value in fantasy football goes down a bit as Minnesota will throw the ball more with Favre than they would have with Tarvaris Jackson. Peterson will get more chances to catch the ball though this season as Chester Taylor is in Chicago.
Brett Favre’s Impact: Favre had a fantastic season in 2010 and he made the Vikings into Super Bowl contenders at the sportsbook company. He also won some leagues for fantasy football owners. Favre put up great numbers of his own and he made Rice one of the best receivers in the league and Shiancoe into a must-have tight end. Do you know just how good Rice was with Favre? He had 83 catches for 1,312 yards and eight TDs last season after doing nothing the previous two years. Favre threw for 33 touchdowns and 4,202 yards last season and Rice was his favorite target. If you won your league last season the chances are very good you had at least one Minnesota player on your team. You may not love Favre but there is no denying his impact. He makes the NFL even more popular than it already is and he makes every one of the Minnesota offensive players better. You are definitely going to be watching on Thursday, September 9th when Minnesota visits New Orleans aren’t you?
