Now that Favre's a Jet what's the Impact?by BetUS StaffBrett Favre has already become the second most popular player to ever strap on a helmet for the New York Jets. After Joe Namath, there just isn't another player in the history of the Jets who demands as much attention as Favre. Arguably the NFL's biggest market team, it doesn't get any bigger than New York, now has arguably the NFL's biggest name taking snaps under center. After all, what Favre brings to the table is something that Jets' fans haven't had in a long time. Namely, a leader at the most important position on the field. Ken O'Brien? Not even close. Vinny Testaverde? Over the hill. Chad Pennington? There was a chance but the kid blew it. Curtis Martin is the last Jet that brings the same work ethic as Favre to New York. The difference is that Favre is a quarterback that has no problems leading a team while Martin was a capable, brilliant, running back. But for BetUS online sportsbook football fans the Favre trade brings a slew of other questions. I'm going to try and answer a couple of those questions right now. A lot of those questions have to do with the impact on the New York Jets, the Green Bay Packers, and the divisions that both teams play in.

Does getting Brett Favre impact the Jets' chances of making the playoffs? The answer to this question is an emphatic yes. In fact getting a guy like Favre impacts the Jets chances to not only make the playoffs but to represent the AFC in this season's Super Bowl. There were high expectations regarding this Jets team at the beginning of the 2007 - 2008 NFL Betting Season. The Jets suffered some injuries that ended their chances of making the playoffs. But now that they are healthy, what's to stop the Jets from suddenly turning things around? They have some talent on the offensive side of the ball with Alan Faneca suddenly adding some stability to the offensive line. Faneca, D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Nick Mangold and Brandon Moore make an imposing o-line. These guys will give Favre plenty of protection. Let's not forget that the Jets' have a solid running back in Thomas Jones and a very good wide receiver in Laveranues Coles. Oh, did anybody notice that Bubba Franks, who caught many of Favre's passes at Green Bay, is with the Jets as well? In any case, the offense should be downright scary if everybody stays healthy. As far as the defense is concerned, it should be much better with Shaun Ellis and Calvin Pace coming over in free agency. Ellis is perfect for the 3-4 that the Jets play. Pace could dominate at times. Kerry Rhodes at the free safety position is already a stud and first-round draft pick Vernon Gholston will wreck havoc from that outside linebacker position. All of this means that the New York Jets are big overlays in the BetUS sportsbook for a number of online wagers. Some of those online wagers are listed below: + 800 to finish first in the AFC East + 2000 to win the AFC Conference + 175 to make the playoffs + 850 to reach the AFC Conference Final + 3500 to win the Super Bowl An online bet on any one of the above wagers makes sense for the simple fact that Favre, along with the improved defense, makes the Jets one of the top teams in the AFC. Coach Mangini has no excuses. The Jets should challenge the New England Patriots for supremacy in the AFC East. The team that wins the AFC East could find themselves in the drivers' seat to make it to the Super Bowl. Does trading Brett Favre and starting Aaron Rodgers impact the chances of the Green Bay Packers to make the playoffs? The answer to this question is the same as the answer to the one above - - an emphatic yes. The difference is that while getting Brett Favre obviously helped the Jets, losing Brett Favre and being stubborn and stupid enough to believe that Aaron Rodgers is the answer will ultimately hurt the Green Bay Packers. For online betting fans, this is easy. The Packers would have had a serious chance of getting to the Super Bowl this upcoming NFL Season with Brett Favre under center. With Brett in New York, the chances of the Packers even making the playoffs are minimal. A lot of teams have improved this off season in the NFC. The Saints are solid in almost every position. The Vikings picked up a serious wide receiver in Bernard Berrian. The Carolina Panthers revamped their offensive line. The Washington Redskins got a coach that is on the same page with their young quarterback. The Philadelphia Eagles signed the top cover corner in the league. With all of these changes going on to teams that they will have to compete with this year, what did the Green Bay Packers do? They traded their franchise quarterback so that they could get a "new identity". Some say the Packers are just trying to "move on". I say they're idiots. How in could anybody in his right mind ever believe that Aaron Rodgers is going to do the same things that Brett Favre did? Forget it. The only reason the Packers were in a position to make it to the Super Bowl last season was because of Brett Favre. Let's take a look at some of the BetUS online sportsbook betting odds regarding the Green Bay Packers. + 1000 to win the NFC Conference + 110 to make the playoffs + 190 to finish first in the NFC North + 800 to make it to the NFC Championship + 2500 to win the Super Bowl The online NFL odds are simply too low to suggest a wager on anything regarding the Green Bay Packers. The Packers will go through some serious growing pains with Rodgers at the helm. Rodgers just doesn't have the physical abilities that Favre has. He doesn't have the experience either. More importantly, the rest of the Green Bay Packer squad isn't as good as people think. Favre made Donald Driver the wide receiver that he is. Without Favre, Driver could have a down year. Ryan Grant turned out to be a very good running back, but he will have to improve this season. The defense is good but not great. The Packers play the Minnesota Vikings, travel to Detroit to face the Lions, battle the Dallas Cowboys at home, and then travel to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers in their first four games. 0 and 4 is not out of the question. They also have to face the Seattle Seahawks, Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints, Tennessee Titans, Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars this season. Talk about throwing Rodgers into the fire! Things are going to be tough for Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers this season. Because of that, I'm going to say lay off this team in all online future wagers. Put your money on the Jets. They should be the team that succeeds because they are the team that now starts Brett Favre at quarterback. + 3500 to win the Super Bowl An online bet on any one of the above wagers makes sense for the simple fact that Favre, along with the improved defense, makes the Jets one of the top teams in the AFC.
