So that's how you catch the ball.
Player props that come out of Las Vegas are always an interesting gauge of a pretty generalized public opinion. Also, they're fun to bet on. And sometimes humiliating for the player involved.In the case of some of BoDog's Week 3 lines -- you may see how they don't think Steve Smith will crack 70 receiving yards against the Vikings here -- all three of those apply to Braylon Edwards.
How many drops will Braylon Edwards have in week 3 of the 2008 NFL season?In other words, the favored end of this bet is to take the under. Clearly. But that's not the important thing. The important thing is that there is a freaking prop bet on how many passes Edwards will drop. There's also one on Brady Quinn's starts for this year, which is awkward, because I thought Derek Anderson and Braylon were boys. Maybe not.
Player must start game to have action.

At -130, wouldn't the "favored bet" be the under? (Favored by the book, meaning the more likely outcome.)

Yeah, but for every one he drops, he also catches one on a dive, rolls through two defenders somehow untouched, pops to his feet, and runs in for a touchdown.
