Most Passing yards for the season

Looking at the market and most of the gunslingers are high in the market with Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger the equal favourite for this market at $7 and rightly so with how he can take over the game and a great weapon in WR Brown who is a stat monster (and the favourite for the most receiving market too)

But the con in Big Ben is that over the years he has missed some game due to injury. Like last season where he missed 4 games but still passed for almost 4000 yards. The 2 seasons before he played the full 16 games but before he missed at least 1 game from his first 9 years in the league.

Someone I really like for this market but I’m not going to tip is Drew Brees! For so many seasons he has carried the Saints thru thick and thin helping rebuilt New Orleans after so many years. However I think he is going to have a quiet season for his standard with a better running game and father time maybe catching up on him. Look he is equal favourite at $7 and has every right to be that price I just like the guy im going to tip more.

My tip for the most passing yards is the $11 priced Philip Rivers and why? Why the hell not!

Over his pretty poor career he has shown he doesn’t need a star WR to get the yards. Over the past 3 seasons he has passed for over 4,200 yards and back in 2010 and 2010 he passed for over 4,600 in both seasons. Look at 11/1 it’s not really an outsider with him 4th favourite for the market but look he has the best chance to have a great season but not have a great season on making the playoffs. The Chargers have an ok schedule with some hard games in division but the out of division schedule is a bit easier and he could have a few than average high passing yards this season

First Head Coach to be fired

To be honest I’m not a huge fan of these type of markets but we are in the game to make money and I can see a great value in this market. Jim Caldwell who coaches the Lions is the favourite for this market with him set at $6. Look the Lions are going to struggle this season like they did last season where after a 1-7 start it looked like Caldwell was gone but they finished the season on a high and his job is safe. When you lose one of the great receivers of all time in Calvin Johnson without much notice it’s going to be very hard to recover. I think they will let him rebuilt this team and that means he should be safe.

It’s a tough life in LA sometimes and Jeff Fisher is right on the hot seat and at $13 is a great chance to get the chop if the Rams do struggle in LA. Look the hardest thing with fisher is he is coming off contract at the end of the season and he might not get fired but just not renewed.

Im looking outside the box with this one with Marvin Lewis from the Bengals who is $51 to get the sack first. Here is my reasoning. For the past 5 seasons the Bengals have been killing it in the season but are 0-5 when it comes to the playoffs.

They have a tough schedule this season with some hard games that could mean a losing season or not making the playoffs and I believe after 14 seasons with the Bengals It might be time to find a new coach. Look it was reported just a few hours ago Lewis offered long-time assistant Hue Jackson his job in 12 months’ time so could he be shown the door if the Bengals have a poor season at $50 it’s worth a very small bet.
