Thierry Henry odds

[roster1]

SBR Forum oddsmakers have listed Thierry Henry as an underdog to score in his first game with the New York Red Bulls. They've also listed the over/under for his season goals at 9.5, with Henry not favored to go over that total.

Oddsmaker Steve Ricci of SBR Forum isn't buying the Henry hype and thinks he won't be meeting expectations this season. Still, the Red Bulls are 2/1 to win the MLS title. Check out the article in the Lifestyle section on the site.

[Dirty Sanchez]

The key is to look at the Red Bulls schedule for the rest of the season. With the other competitions possible playing a part it's kind of hard to tell how much and when Henry will play. You would assume he'll take a lead role in the League games, but once sides make the playoffs you know how they rest players.

Henry is an aging, but still effective player. His days in the European Leagues were numbered as it was becoming more difficult every week for him to crack the lineup. My opinion, offers for him were far and few between, and he saw the MLS as a chance to grab the headlines and "be the man" once again versus be a guy off the bench in Europe. It also tells you how lower a league the MLS is when someone, such as Thierry, can come in and be a main attraction.

[tomcast]

I will take the over

[Wilforth]

If he plays regularly, he definitely score over 9.5 goals. He can get a hat trick against some of the MLS defenses!

[Dirty Sanchez]

Wil...probably true, but I would assume that the MLS defenses will be focusing on him (as best as they can) and might open up more chances for Angel.

[TheAntidote]

Keep in mind, there's only 15 games left in the regular season for MLS. I'd bet under 9.5.

[mihaita666]

I would take the over, but im rather afraid of injuries.

[wake14]

love the over!!!!

[Gilero]

Wil...probably true, but I would assume that the MLS defenses will be focusing on him (as best as they can) and might open up more chances for Angel.

Yes, it is usual to focus on him, but Henry is an old fox and he knows all of them.

[ejfel01]

You guys are thinking of the past Henry, who with Arsenal really played well.

[spirta]

I am on under for sure, Henry is not so good now... For me no chance to score 10 goals in 15 games. Good Luck All.

[suckerforparlays]

no way in hell ill roll over if he scores that many goals in 15 games

[goblue12]

I'm rooting for him to make a noticable impact on the league. MLS needs these over-the-hill-but-marketable Europeans to be stars in their league.

Without star power, no one cares about the sport. Attendance peaked in 2007 when Beckham signed with the Galaxy and has been going dowhill since.

[treece]

Henry is well past his prime.

[hockeyhy]

He's 32. You have like 37-40 year olds playing in the MLS, it's a joke league, let's be honest.

[Ruifgalmeida]

15 games only in MLS? if that is the case, I will take a big bet on the under.

[BetWeather]

cheaters never prosper...

[secret007]

He's too good for MLS .. believe me..

[fixxer]

I am also sure, that he won't score more than 9....he is not the player he used to be....

[spirta]

14 games left, 0 for Henry in MLS... It will be very hard to score over 9 goals

[infamousbacardi]

He'll do great in MLS

[Taka]

10 goals in 15 games... dunno, maybe a few years ago?

[Gilero]

Henry will give him everything, not like Beckham who only sells t-shirts, henry scoring goals when they attach to their peers, but I know the American League do not know if you give in 15 games to put more than 9 goals, but have previously finishing the league in more than a match scoring twice or more secure.

[althelegend]

overs for sure in a full season, but this one...?

has to be under.

Although Henry still has plenty to offer and will do well here.

[Dirty Sanchez]

They've got him for the play-off run...I don't think they're going to fry him in meaningless games near the end

ya he's aging but he really hasnt played full time in along time so i think he feels good for his age..think he'll have a few more good years especially in the mls

[nj6]

He won't even score 4.

[charley1]

I think, Henry is not in his best form, righ now, but eventually he will and he will give to the Red Bull's team fans good strikes..... just like in the old times, but it wont we righ away, is gona take some time...

[Giuvara]

Under 9.5 I think. Henry isn't the player to score twice every three games anymore.

[McBa1n]

Sheesh - I know the MLS is bad, but 9.5 as an o/u number is pretty soft. The under is too good to be true.

[spirta]

I think after few games he will be in perfect form, but will be to late for scoring 9 goals...

[fixxer]

15 games???? Wow, strong bet for under

[lukahh]

if you are certain of the over - i think it's then better option to be betting him as "anytime scorer" on individual game with martinghale-type progression.
just don't lure yourself into losing a house in case he doesn't ever score...

[atval]

i think the under is the better option.

[zlate22]

think he cant score more than 5
