- Tuesday, 20 Dec 2005
Sports gambling sites would surly agree that the Green Bay Packers has been one of the saddest stories of this season. For those of us who followed Brett Favre throughout his career in Green Bay, it’s hard to face the realization that this might be his last season in the league. Although the burden of running the offense ultimately rest on the shoulders of the quarterback, he is not responsible for every single thing that is happening on the field. Sports gambling bookmakers have been mentioning the Packer’s offensive woes, while disregarding the defensive woes.
Sports gambling experts need to get it through their head that even if Favre was at the top of his game professionally, the team still would have done miserably given their anemic defense. Sports gambling site shouldn’t read into it as if Favre hasn’t played a role in the team"s struggles en route to a disappointing record, although he hasn’t helped dispel that theory lately. Favre has failed to throw more touchdown passes than interceptions since a 23-20 home loss at Minnesota on October 23rd and remains on pace to throw a career-worst 26 picks. In fact, Favre has thrown an interception in the opponent"s end zone each of the last two games that could have helped lead his team to victories if they resulted in TDs.
For better or worse, the online gambling fans are riding with Favre into the sunset in what could be his last season and his last prime-time game on national television before he retires. Favre will have more motivation than that though to bury the Lions since he is close friends with former Detroit head coach Steve Mariucci, who was fired by the team less than two weeks ago and was his quarterbacks coach in Green Bay. Favre has also lost just one divisional revenge game at Lambeau Field in 12 years, and the Packers will have an excellent opportunity to bounce back after getting held to the lowest point total in his career back in the season opener, a 17-3 loss at Detroit.
