NFL Week 6 prop bets: When will Peyton break all-time TD record?

Peyton Manning became just the second quarterback in NFL history to pass for 500 touchdowns when he hit Julius Thomas in the end zone in the first quarter of Denver's game against Arizona last week. But Manning wasn't done there, also racking up Nos. 501, 502 and 503 in a four-touchdown, 479 passing yard day.

It is a matter of “when” and not “if” Peyton Manning breaks Brett Favre's all-time NFL record of 508 touchdown passes. And one prop bet gives bettors the chance to bet on when that record-breaking pass will be thrown. Week 6 against the Jets is the longest shot at 12/1 at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Touchdown No. 509 is favored to come in the second half of a Week 7 matchup against San Francisco at 9/5. “Week 7 First Half” and “Week 8 First Half” are both 5/2, “Week 8 Second Half” is 5/1, and “Week 9 or Later” is 10/1.
