+1400 for a kickoff TD but only +1050 for a safety?

Yes sir

But I think we all will agree that a K-Return at those odds has so much more value than a safety at less and it has to be because they are leery of those 3 safeties in week 1...

No sir. I guess you have not noticed there there Is almost no such thing as a ko return anymore. Safety much more likely

I guess there are more ways of a safety happening, but it still should seem like even odds. Guess it depends what kind of KR you have...Holliday on DEN is stupid nice.

Well you're right Chop. But even so, a safety should still pay off at least 2-3 times those odds.

any kick return would be a nice bet. but with all these touchbacks and kickers kicking it 8 yards deep in the endzone, returns are not oging to happen

Hester got close with an 80 yard return but that's about it.

My main point about all of this is the low odds on a safety.

We all know how rare they are and just because there were 3 in week one, they are scared to put out fair odds.

+1050?? Please.....It should to be about $3000 before anyone should even CONSIDER rolling the dice on such a longshot...
