Rodgers Is Out But NFL Betting Promos Are In, Including FanDuel’s $150 Cash Offer For Packers-Chiefs

Remember when Aaron Rodgers was upset that the Green Bay Packers used a first-round pick on QB Jordan Love instead of addressing other roster needs? For NFL Week 9, at least, it looks like a pretty good decision.

News broke on Wednesday that Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19, so Love will be behind center. Coach Matt LaFleur told reporters he doesn’t know how much time his star quarterback will miss.

“I just know he won’t be available this week. We’ll address next week when we get there.”

Keep that in mind for Green Bay Packers bets as they visit the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Iowa sportsbooks are promoting some great betting offers for NFL Week 9.

Rodgers positive COVID-19 test shifts Packers odds

Kevin Hennessy at FanDuel Sportsbook Iowa said the Rodgers announcement shifted odds at all levels.

“At the FanDuel Sportsbook we were at KC -1 versus the Packers for Sunday and have moved all the way to -7.5 now that Rodgers has been ruled out.”

FanDuel also adjusted its futures markets.

Green Bay still has a big lead to win the NFC North at -1100. The sportsbook pushed out the odds for the Packers to claim the top seed in the NFC, as well. The line moved from +350 to +450, according to Hennessy.

The MVP race isn’t an approved wager in Iowa, but for what it’s worth, FanDuel updated the Rodgers odds there, too. Hennessy said the Packers star went from +800 to +850.
