Tonight’s Monday Night Football matchup figures to be an interesting affair between two teams with starting quarterbacks that are nearly two decades apart in age.

The Denver Broncos have one of the best young quarterback prospects in the game today in 24-year-old second-year player, Jay Cutler while the Green Bay Packers start 38-year-old Hall of Fame bound veteran, Brett Favre.

The clever oddsmakers at BetUS.com have once again come up with several interesting props wagers for tonight’s matchup – and I have the answers to these often-interesting bets than can be quite bountiful for football bettors.

Under 38½ Yards -120

If there is no FG's in the game, the under is the winner.

Longest FG in the game

Over 43½ Yards -120

Crossing by kickoff returns, punt returns, or defense do not qualify. Also, receiving possession in the opposing team's territory does not count.
