Not only are the New England Patriots favored to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars by nearly two touchdowns, NFL bettors and oddsmakers think their quarterback is going to kill it through the air.

Tom Brady holds NFL player prop odds of 27/20 to lead the league in passing yards during this weekend’s divisional playoff games. Despite the fact Brady will be playing in the cold outdoors and that Jacksonville will do whatever it can to force New England to win with the run, Brady is favored to out pace the other seven quarterbacks.

The Colts’ Peyton Manning is the 3/1 second choice and Tony Romo of Dallas is 17/4. The long shot is the Jaguars’ David Garrard with 25/1 odds.
