Age doesn’t seem to be a factor when it comes to Tom Brady, who became the oldest quarterback to lead the NFL in passing yards in 2017. He is dubbed the favorite to repeat that in 2018 +400 on the NFL passing yards odds prop wager.

The ageless wonder and future Hall of Fame quarterback had yes another outstanding performance last season, throwing for 32 touchdowns and racking up 4,577 passing yards to lead the NFL for the third time in his career. Despite Brady’s performance, the Patriots fell short of winning a record-tying sixth Super Bowl last February, falling to the Philadelphia Eagles, but they remain atop the Super Bowl 53 odds as +650 favorites.

Brady followed on the most NFL passing yards by another veteran, with New Orleans Saints’ Drew Brees set at +450. He finished fourth in passing yards in 2017 with 4,334, ending a three-year run as the NFL’s most prolific passer, and has led all NFL quarterbacks in passing yards on seven occasions over his 16-year career. With Brees at the helm, the Saints recorded an 11-5 record and their first NFC South title since 2011, and are set as a solid -135 favorite to make their first return appearance in the NFL playoffs in seven years.

Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers sits atop the odds as a +550 favorite to claim 2018 NFL MVP honors, but lags behind the leaders on the NFL passing yards odds at +1400.
