Yes, the rumors of Aaron Rodgers retiring from football next week are real.
PointsBet sports book informs PFT that the Green Bay over-under win overall, which PointsBet had actually re-installed previously this month at 9, was gotten rid of midday Friday. PointsBet says it made the relocation due to speculation that Rodgers will be retiring.
This boosts the report from Bill Huber of SI.com that numerous sports books have ditched different Packers-based wagers based on the belief that Rodgers will retire next week.
It doesnt suggest that he will. However the folks who make their living in part by knowing whats really going on behind the scenes have become sufficiently startled by whatever theyre hearing to not allow bettors to load up on bets based on chances crafted under the presumption that Rodgers will appear and play for the Packers.
And now all of us return to playing the waiting video game. In the homestretch of this three-month journey, nevertheless, one particular possibility has moved to the forefront of the minds of those with clear monetary reasons for knowing the reality– Rodgers revealing next week that hes stepping far from the game.
None of it indicates he cant come back, as we found out several times from his predecessor with the Packers. As the Packers prepare to go to camp, theres now a really great factor to think that Rodgers will not be there, not due to the fact that hes holding out or taking more time to believe things over however due to the fact that hes had sufficient football for one lifetime.
At least up until next year, naturally, when he gets the trade out of Green Bay that he appears to so severely want.
