At this upcoming UFC odds event, we’ll see Matt Serra and Matt Hughes fight - two guys that have recovered from some serious surgeries. Brett Favre is apparently encouraged and might be going under the knife himself.

If I could place and online bet right now on whether Favre will play in 2009 or not, I would bet on ‘yes’.

Favre visited with Dr. James Andrews - the chief NFL medical expert - and we all know what that means. If he was staying retired, he wouldn’t have to do it. Since he’s not, he’s looking for ways to recover from his biceps injury.

It’s too early to care about the NFL season right now, especially with French Open betting and Indy 500 odds up on the board. Even so, it looks like Favre will be wearing purple and playing this season.

Other sporting events are taking center stage right now such as the French Open odds, UFC odds and Preakness odds and even though the NFL is quiet in the offseason, there is a huge story brewing in the NFL that is grabbing everyone’s attention: Brett Favre is coming back…or is he?

Favre was supposedly coming back after he set up some kind of a clandestine meeting with Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress. Then there were x-rays sent back and forth and now it seems unclear what is happening.

NFL betting fans, what do you think? Should Favre make another comeback?

Other sporting events are taking center stage right now such as the French Open odds, UFC odds and Preakness odds and even though the NFL is quiet in the offseason, , there is a huge story brewing in the NFL that is grabbing everyone’s attention: Brett Favre is coming back.

It appears to be pretty serious now. Favre has met with Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress and he’s going to take the steps that he needs to take to recover from a torn biceps.

NFL betting fans know that Favre is over the hill but he’s better than what the Vikings have at quarterback. The NFC North has gone from being a terible division to know - with Favre, Jay Cutler and Matthew Stafford - could be very interesting.

There are many sporting that will be in the forefront more than the NFL this month, such as the French Open odds, UFC odds and Preakness odds, but there is a huge story brewing in the NFL:

Legendary quarterback, Brett Favre, is getting set to make his return to the sport. It sounds kind of crazy after two retirements and plenty of tears and plus, two ugly finishes to both the 2008 and 2007 season, but the Wranglers man isn’t ready to hang them up yet.

NFL betting fans might be getting tired of this act but the reality is that Favre is still an upgrade of Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels. He could make the Vikings a Super Bowl contender.

Stay tuned for more.

At this point, Kentucky Derby odds and boxing betting have been pushed to the background and NFL Draft betting is in the forefront.

One team that isn’t paying attention is the Buffalo Bills. Good work, guys. You trade your Pro Bowl left tackle, release Derrick Dockery, and don’t draft a tackle in a tackle-rich draft.

NFL betting fans have to be wondering how the Bills plan to protect their young quarterback, Trent Edwards, without a left tackle.  And if Edwards can’t get Terrell Owens the ball…sounds like a combustable situation.

While half the league is asleep - paying attention to the Kentucky Derby odds, boxing betting or NFL Draft betting - the Atlanta Falcons significantly improved their team.

The young Falcons acquired Pro Bowl - and likely Hall of Fame - tight end, Tony Gonzalez, who will help out quarterback Matt Ryan a great deal. As they say, a quarterback is a tight end’s best friend - or is it the other way around?

NFL betting fans should be weary of the Falcons even more-so than usual now. The Falcons have Ryan, Gonzalez, which teams with their Pro Bowl wide receiver Roddy White and Pro Bowl running back, Michael Turner. This is all of the sudden a dangerous team and they haven’t even improved their defense yet, which they will do via the draft.

A lot of NFL owners part take in the Kentucky Derby odds as many of them have some sort of investment in the tracks but one team that might want to buy into a horse of a different kind is the Cleveland Browns.

NFL betting fans know that the Browns traded away Kellen Winslow Jr. in the offseason and even though they haven’t settled on a quarterback, they have to find whoever that guy will be some weapons.

NFL betting need to realize that the Browns might trade away Braylon Edwards and they will probably be without Donte Stallworth for a little while too, which means they don’t have so many wideouts. They are also contemplating cutting Jamal Lewis, which could leave them shorthanded in the backfield as well.

Who knows how good LeBron James would be in terms of NFL betting but the Browns do need more playmakers, that’s for sure.

Maybe the Buffalo Bills are more focused on the Kentucky Derby odds than NFL betting - or running an NFL franchise for that matter. They just traded away Jason Peters, who is a two-time Pro Bowl left tackle for a first-round pick.

The Philadelphia Eagles were drafting 28th overall, which means the pick isn’t even that high.

NFL betting fans know that Pro Bowl left tackles don’t grow on trees and although Peters had a so-so year in Buffalo because he was unmotivated, the Eagles could have just traded a low first-round pick for the best left tackle in football.

Now the Bills head into next season with a young quarterback who hasn’t proven a lot yet and an offensive line that just took a big hit. Actually, the Bills lost Derrick Dockery and Peters in the offseason,which doesn’t leave them with much. The sportsbook odds won’t show a lot of faith in the Bills.

TO is a ticking timebomb.

While most people are wondering about the Liddell v Rua odds, the Cavs odds for the NBA Championship or the Red Wings odds for the Stanley Cup, we’re still squarely focused on the NFL.

The New York Giants recently released Plaxico Burress and given the way the team finished the season without him - with Eli Manning struggling - the Giants could use a big target to replace him.

Now dating back to the last two years, the Giants have cut Burress and Jeremy Shockey out of their diet, which is good for off-the-field antics, but not necessarily on-the-field productivity.

NFL betting fans understand that Eli Manning needs someone to lean on. Maybe Braylon Edwards is that guy, especially since the Cleveland Browns are selling him on the cheap? The Giants should invest in Edwards because the dropsies can be cured. But to find another guy with talent like that in the second, third or fourth round of the NFL Draft is a longshot.

Back to hoops betting you go.

There might be some upsets in the upcoming UFC 97 betting, but it doesn’t look like there will be any NFL betting upsets at the 2009 NFL Draft.

Matt Stafford has apparently been telling his former Georgia teammates that he will be the top pick in the 2009 NFL Draft and that the Detroit Lions have made up their minds.

NFL betting fans probably aren’t too surprised with this. The sportsbook odds indicate that Stafford is the top dog in the draft but there has been no official announcement.

The draft is just two weeks away. Hopefully it is Stafford and then we can add him invite him in to Dirty Harry’s Backyard.
