The latest news regarding quarterback Brett Favre has caused a seismic change in the NFC odds at BroburySports.com.

Favre has reportedly informed Minnesota that he will not play this season. Coach Brad Childress is claiming to be unaware of the situation, but official news should come out soon.
Childress recently went to visit Favre in Mississippi and wasn’t acting like a coach who would be without his star quarterback. He and the rest of management will surely be angry with Favre for not making up his mind sooner.
The Vikings will now turn to quarterback Tarvaris Jackson. The 27-year-old has 19 career starts under his belt, not including some playoff experience in 2008. However, the Vikings are not nearly as dangerous without Favre, and the odds reflect that.
Minnesota was one of four relatively equal favorites to win the NFC along with Dallas, New Orleans and Green Bay. Now, those three other teams are tied at 7/2, with Minnesota lumped in at 10/1 with Atlanta, Philly, San Francisco and the NY Giants.
Green Bay is gaining the most from this news. Favre spent 16 years with the team, even leading them to a Super Bowl win. The Vikings beat Green Bay twice last year on the way to winning the NFC North. That made many Packers’ fans hate their former iconic quarterback.
Green Bay (5/8) is now the heavy favorite to win the NFC North. Minnesota (14/5) is a distant second, with Chicago (7/2) right on their heels. The path to the playoffs just got much easier for Green Bay and they could be favored to win the conference the next time odds are adjusted.
And while there’s a chance that Favre changes his mind (once again), you can’t count on that right now.
