WAGERWEB.COM POSTS NFL FOOTBALL BETTING ODDS ON: "WHO WILL GRACE THE COVER OF MADDEN 2007 AND WILL THE CURSE OF THE COVER CONTINUE??
(Zapote, Costa Rica, 6 December 2005) Many of you are avid video gamers and if you are, ?EA Sports Madden Football? is one of the best sports games ever made. NFL players that have graced the cover, though, have a much different opinion. Since 2000 the cover of the must-own football video game has had a picture of an NFL player instead of John Madden. Every single player except for Ray Lewis saw a substantial drop in production after his appearance on the cover. This year was no different has the cover boy was Eagles Qb Donovan McNabb, who not only has had to deal with the T.O. drama, but has been bogged down with a sports hernia that has affected his play all season long.
The first cover boy was RB Eddie George, who saw his numbers drop dramatically the season after he appeared on the cover, going from 1509 rushing yards to 939. The next season it was QB Daunte Culpepper who saw his TD passes drop from 33 to 14. The year 2003 saw RB Marshall Faulk grace the cover and his yardage production drop by over 400 yards. The most infamous of all the cover curses befell QB Mike Vick in 2004, whose numbers had to drop after he hurt himself in the preseason and only played 5 games all year. It is anyone?s guess who could be 2007's cover boy, but it is a pretty safe bet that whoever it is would rather he be on the cover of Playgirl instead.
?It would seem like an honor to be featured on the cover of Madden, but with all the players seemingly having bad years or getting hurt after being on the cover, it is anything but an honor anymore" said Wagerweb.com CEO Dave Johnson. "We have received a large amount of wagers on WR Terrell Owens gracing the cover of Madden 07. At +12 to 1 (Win $1200 for every $100 bet) he's garnering the most attention.
