This weekend, the Pro Football Hall of Fame will officially announce its Class of 2021. Naturally, the oddsmakers have placed some odds on who will earn their gold jacket and a bust in Canton.
This year, some heavy-hitters like longtime Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning and star defensive back Charles Woodson as runaway favorites to land in the Hall of Fame.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets offensive lineman Alan Faneca is also favored with better than even odds.
Other players that could earn a Hall of Fame nod are former Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne, former Detroit Lions star Calvin Johnson, defensive backs LeRoy Butler and Ronde Barber, and linebacker Zach Thomas.
Additionally, odds have been placed on first-time eligible players for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 22, with former Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos pass rusher DeMarcus Ware listed as the only person with better than even odds.
