Aaron Rodgers May Be Set for Another Chapter in His Great Career

Aaron Rodgers went into the 2021/22 NFL campaign as the reining MVP after a stellar year last season. At one point in the off-season, his future in Green Bay looked uncertain. However, off-field disputes were resolved just in time for the new campaign.

Rodgers continues to play at the top of his game and a fourth regular season MVP could be set to go his way. The Packers QB has led his side to a 10-3 win record through their opening 13 games of the season.

Green Bay are looking set to be one of the top seeds in the NFC heading into the playoffs. The NFC North crown looks safe, as the Packers are the only team in the division with a winning record.

Rodgers and Green Bay fans will want much more than a divisional title this season. They are +1000 in the sports betting online at Betfair for the Super Bowl.

Given how well Rodgers is performing, the Packers are one of the leading betting tips every week in the NFL. Regardless of the opposition, Rodgers keeps finding a way of unlocking defenses and putting up big points for his team.

Career Numbers Are Very Impressive

Just like Tom Brady, Rodgers remains one of the leading QBs in the NFL. The 38-year-old is certain to be in the Hall of Fame as soon as he becomes eligible. He is right up there with some of the greatest in history to have played in that position, including Brett Favre, Joe Montana and Dan Marino.

Rodgers was selected in the first round of the NFL Draft in 2005. Since then, he has consistently produced impressive stats every season he has been involved in. Arguably his biggest strength is the way he looks after the ball. He has finished the league leader in touchdowns-to-interceptions ratio five times.

The Green Bay man has recorded 433 regular season touchdowns and has thrown for over 50,000 passing yards. He will have seen what Brady has been able to achieve into his 40s and if he can continue at that age, he may be set to smash many NFL records.

Green Bay Haven’t Reached Super Bowl Since 2010

Although it is not going to impact his inclusion in the Hall of Fame, Rodgers has only won the Super Bowl once in his career. That victory came in 2010 when his side beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25 at the Cowboys Stadium.

In what may be his last year in Wisconsin, the Green Bay QB will be hoping to deliver another Vince Lombardi Trophy to his franchise. Becoming a two-time Super Bowl winner will help the reining MVP elevate himself into an exclusive club of QBs who have prevailed in the biggest game in the sport more than once.

Rodgers will be focussed on finishing this season strongly. If he does get awarded the MVP at the NFL Honors in February, he will be one of only two players to land that prize four times after Peyton Manning.

How to Successfully Bet On Football

Football is one common popular sport in the world. It has made it have a big attraction when it comes to the world of betting. When you consider the number of bets made on football across the globe, you will be amazed by the crazy figure that it has. But that is not surprising because it is popular, attracting many fans globally. The only problem many bettors face is that it is hard to make sure bets will earn you money. While it is simple registering an account and beginning gambling, but it becomes hard to win. Luckily, there are numerous things that one can do to enhance your chances of winning. The below content provides you with clear tips that you can apply in betting to make correct choices.

Before you join gambling, just know that you cannot win always

Before you get into sports betting, it is important to have an open mind. Regardless of what you hear from people or read on the internet, be sure that you will not always win. There is no clear method way that guarantees winning results every other time. Sometimes you may win, while other times, you may lose. If you want to survive in the betting industry, the main secret is to ensure you get minimal losses.

Keep detailed record

Keeping the record is an essential tool you should have as a sports bettor. These records are helpful when making bets as they help one know how strong one team is against the other. With the proper application of records, it is possible to make the right bets for livescore. In addition to the records, you can understand the stronger team while playing. If you take advantage of this method, you will earn a clearer picture of the best strategies that will work for you.

Switch things up

Are you seriously invested in sports betting? Then, you understand there are numerous bookmakers. While some are serious ones, others are jokers. Be skeptical about choosing the best to avoid losing money. You may find a good site, but that doesn't mean you should stick with them. You can always register with other bookmakers with greater promotions and different amazing odds. Always take advantage of the website that is offering the best.

Be impartial always

If you involve your emotions in the world of betting, it won’t be good for you. It is advisable to put aside your emotions even if you are a football fan and be impartial. This helps avoid making unnecessary mistakes when you know the real results that will likely happen. It is important to involve the analytical brain as this helps make a sound decision. However, many football bettors make the mistake of involving their emotions for the love of their teams. Probably, the best bet is to stay away from the games, so you don't need to involve your emotions.

Many things affect the results of a game. It could be the game taking place at its location. Whether you will make livescore or offline betting, it is good to learn these pointers and know how to apply them for better results.

How Will Next Year's NHL Hall of Fame Class Go?

It is a tradition that dates back to 1945: the annual induction class to the NHL Hall of Fame. Aside from winning the Stanley Cup, it is the ultimate honor for players of the game and a way to immortalize themselves amongst the greatest players to ever hit the ice. The Hockey Hall of Fame enshrines a maximum of four players every year along with spots for builders as well. It has also recently started to induct female hockey players. The Hockey Hall of Fame has 289 players inducted which include eight female players and more being added each year!

Next year’s NHL Hall of Fame class is going to be extra competitive with nearly double the candidates than a normal year. Why is this the case? Due to the lack of HOF during 2021 thanks to the pandemic, next year's event will be packed full of legends of the sport. It will take place in June of 2022 in the city of Toronto, Canada. If you are in the area around that time you can go to the Hockey HOF museum that is located in Toronto, go to a live hockey game from the hometown or bet on your favorite team at William Hill CanadaOntario is one of the provinces that has recently signed single-game betting into law, which allows sports bettors to bet on a single game at a time. 

For the most competitive odds, generous bonuses, and easy payment methods, William Hill Canada is a name that has global recognition in the sports betting industry. The William Hill brand has been in the business since 1961, where it originated in Gibraltar, United Kingdom. William Hill is an iconic and legendary brand amongst online sportsbooks, and even offers an easy to use mobile app that allows you to play even when you are on the go. With the new legislation for single-game betting coming into effect across Canada, there has been no better time to check out William Hill Canada to bet on your favorite NHL games. 

Who Will Be Inducted in 2022?

There is a long list of players that have been waiting for the call now for a few years. There are some important names on that list, but two new potential inductees are likely heading into the Hall of Fame together. Let’s take a look at who we believe will be providing an acceptance speech at next year’s NHL Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

Henrik and Daniel Sedin

These super twins from Ornskoldsvik, Sweden headline next year’s potential class of Hall of Fame inductees. The Sedins played every game of their career for the Vancouver Canucks, and both finished with over 1,000 points scored in just over 1,300 games played. At times, the two players were dominant, and were famous for holding the puck between them for minutes on end. The Sedins led the Canucks all the way to game seven in the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals before falling to the Boston Bruins. Both Henrik and Daniel have their jerseys retired in Vancouver, and are now in acting roles with upper management for the team. The Sedin twins won Olympic gold medals with Sweden in 2006 and a silver medal in 2014. 

Daniel Alfredsson 

The long-time captain of the Ottawa Senators, Alfredsson played seventeen of his eighteen seasons with the team. Alfredsson exploded onto the scene in his rookie campaign, winning the Calder Memorial Trophy for the best rookie in the league. Alfredsson scored over 1,150 career points and also won Olympic medals in 2006 and 2014 alongside the Sedin twins for Sweden. 

Alexander Mogilny

Another former Vancouver Canuck that has an excellent chance of making it into the Hall of Fame next summer. Mogilny was a trailblazer for young Russian players as he was the first Soviet player to defect to North America to play in the NHL. Who could ever forget his season in 1992-1993 where he went toe to toe with Finnish legend Teemu Selanne, and the two snipers tied for the league lead in goal scoring with 76 each. The next year, Mogilny was named the first European captain in the history of the NHL, and is an IIHF triple-crown winner with an Olympic gold medal, World Junior Championship gold medal, and a Stanley Cup with the New Jersey Devils in 2000.

Caroline Oullette

An iconic Canadian women’s hockey player, Oullette has an impressive resume that boasts four Olympic gold medals and six World Championship gold medals as well. Oullette dominated the women’s NCAA divisions as well, as she ranks in the top ten of all-time NCAA women’s scorers with 229 points. But it will be Oullette’s international success that she will be remembered for, in an age that was dominated by Canadian women’s hockey. 

Roberto Luongo

The march of ex-Canucks continues as long-time Vancouver goalie Roberto Luongo also appears on the list this year. In terms of on-ice performance, Luongo ranks amongst the top goaltenders in history. Bobby Lu never won a Vezina or Hart trophy for individual successes but did take the Canucks to game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals in 2011. He sits fourth in NHL history in all-time wins with 489, and also ranks in the top ten in total shutouts. Luongo is also only one of three goaltenders to play over 1,000 games and won Olympic Gold medals with Canada in both 2010 and 2014. 


Rod Brind’Amour

Could this be the year for Rod the Bod? The current head coach of the Carolina Hurricanes was one of the best two-way forwards in NHL history. Brind’Amour amassed a total of 1,184 points and also won two Selke trophies for the league’s best defensive forward. It also helps that Brind’Amour lifted the Stanley Cup with the Hurricanes back in 2006. Brind’Amour has coached the Hurricanes to an impressive 20-7 record to start this NHL season and maybe up for some Jack Adams award buzz which is awarded to the best coach in the league each season.
