Any NFL betting fan knows lots of players have fought for headlines this season. Some are positive — Brees and Warner’s yardage-record chase, the phenomenal offensive rookie class — and some are negative — Mr. Burress’ gun adventures, for example.

Why is it, then, that DeMarcus Ware’s monster year seems so overlooked? He sits at 19 sacks with two games to go, leaving him three behind Michael Strahan’s single-season record. Will he do it? It’s an intriguing NFL odds proposition for anyone looking to bet online.

Online sports betting aside, all I know is that it takes a brave man to hang in the pocket with a guy like Ware rushing him. D-linemen have a special mentality. Don’t believe me? Look at the Jags’ John Henderson’s pre-game ritual. Terrifying!
