Brett Favre has officially retired and while we have heard this song and dance before this time it is for real. Favre claims that he is “just tired mentally”. The surprise move really shouldn’t be that much of a surprise as the grizzled 17-year NFL veteran’s body has been through hell and back in his illustrious career. Favre was coming off one of his best bodies of work as pro going to his 9th pro-bowl after setting the all-time record for TD passes. SBGglobal.com has the Green Bay Packers at 7-1 football betting odds to win the NFC championship.
The Packers almost made it to the Superbowl last year dropping a 20-23 overtime loss to the Giants in the NFC championship game. SBGglobal.com currently has the Green Bay Packers at 20-1 odds to win the 2008 Superbowl but Favre’s retirement will leave the starting QB duties to solid but unspectacular Aaron Rodgers.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the odds rose to around 35-1 by the start of the regular season with Rodgers at the helm. The 6’2” 225 Lb. 24-year old Rodgers is an accurate passer with a good head on his shoulders but filling Favre’s shoes in production and leadership will be an impossible act to follow. Rodgers has thrown 59 passes in his 3-year career in a backup role, posting a mediocre 73.3 passer rating.
