Odds of Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson Playing in the NFL Again
Bookmaker.eu on Monday morning released odds on whether disgraced former Ravens star Ray Rice will ever play another NFL game and whether Adrian Peterson will be playing any games prior to the end of the 2014-2015 season.
The league terminated Rice's contract indefinitely following the release of a surveillance video showing him punch his then fiancé and dragging her unconscious out of an Atlantic City casino elevator.
The incident occurred last February at the now shuttered Revel Casino, resulting in a two-game suspension by the National Football Association.
Janay Palmer has since married Rice, a move widely seen as a way to prevent her from testifying against him. A wife cannot testify against her husband in the US court system with some states applying the law to both criminal and civil cases.
Roger Goodell has come under fire for claiming he had never seen the newly released video. Bookmaker.eu has since offered odds on whether he will remain as Commissioner.
Rice’s odds of returning to the NFL were at YES -150 and NO +120.
The long-established online sportsbook also released odds on whether Adrian Peterson plays this season but that betting option was expected to be taken off the board after the Vikings announced shortly after Noon Eastern Time that Peteron would be practicing this week.
The star Vikings running back has been charged with child endangerment in the state of Texas. He was deactivated for Sunday’s game against New England.
Peterso turned himself into Texas authorities over the weekend and was later released on bond.
