For the Minnesota Vikings, 39-year-old quarterback Brett Favre made headlines once again this week. According 
to Favre, he has no problem sitting out some games this year if his body doesn’t feel right. This of course means that his proud streak of 269 straight regular season games started could be in jeopardy.
“I may not finish the year. If you would have asked me my first year if I would finish I’d have said, ‘I may not,”’ Favre said. “No one thought I’d play 18 straight years without missing a game, me included. I have no idea what’s going to happen. None.”
This Sunday in Cleveland, Favre will be one game closer to reaching the 282 mark, which is believed to be the NFL’s all-time record for consecutive games played by a non-kicker held by former Vikings defensive lineman Jim Marshall (1961-1979). The OVER/UNDER for this, NFL Picks: Minnesota Vikings vs. Cleveland Browns NFL Betting Odds has been officially set at a combined total of 40 points scored.
For the Cleveland Browns, the quarterback mystery appears to finally be over in The Forest City… or is it? According to various reports, Browns’ coach Eric Mangini met with both Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson and divulged the news to them. However, the coach's decision was supposed to be kept a secret in order to gain an edge on the Minnesota Vikings in the opener.
"He talked to us about it, but he hasn't told us anything about a final decision for us," Quinn said. Nevertheless, the surprise has been spoiled, as sources in the NFL Network have confirmed the rumors that the former Notre Dame star has beaten out Anderson for the starting job.
