Week eight of the betting on NFL season is sure to be an exciting one for many reasons, but hogging the national media spotlight heading in to this weekend once again is a certain veteran quarterback that can’t seem to stay out of the news these days. After deciding to return to the Minnesota Vikings for one final season, Brett Favre has struggled through the first seven weeks of the year, leading the purple to a 2-4 record, while making headlines for inappropriate behavior and even worse play on the field. While Favre’s name will continue to be tossed around heading in to this upcoming football betting weekend, a couple of key primetime games and the struggles of the reigning AFC West champions will share the spotlightVikings’ Number Four Should Be Benched This WeekendAfter struggling to a 2-4 start, Minnesota heads in to this Sunday’s game at the New England Patriots with a variety of questions marks. Favre will be in the online sports betting spotlight once again, with a fractured ankle threatening to end the longest streak of games started in NFL history. Number-four has been in the headlines throughout the past couple of weeks for his behavior during his time with the New York Jets, with rumors about sending nude photos and harassing team officials the main source of the controversy. Favre’s play on the field hasn’t been any better than his behavior off of it, and after spending the first few days of the week walking around in a boot, he may concede this Sunday’s start to back up Tarvaris Jackson.Primetime Games Spot On Once AgainThe NFL schedule makers have done a phenomenal job of establishing the key match ups of the week in the prime time games. Steelers’ quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will make his primetime debut for Pittsburgh when they travel to take on the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints Sunday night, two weeks after returning from a four- game suspension. Monday night football will feature the two teams many projected to be battling for the top spot in the AFC South, as the Houston Texans look for their second win of the season over the Indianapolis Colts after taking them down for the first time in franchise history in week one of the NFL betting season.Chargers’ Lacking Much Of A SparkThe San Diego Chargers will look to end a three-game losing streak this Sunday when they take on the Tennessee Titans at home. Consecutive losses to the Oakland Raiders and St. Louis Rams preceded a close loss to the Patriots last weekend, and it will be tough for them to bounce back against Vince Young at home. Head coach Norv Turner is on the hot seat once again after failing to get to the Super Bowl the past two years, and will now have a tough time even making the playoffs with one of the least talented units he has had during his time in California.
