This is the first of a series of occasional looks at the various pro-football props offered throughout Las Vegas.

The Venetian has put out its odds for the 2008-09 "Pro Football Most Receiving Yards" proposition bet.

The favorite: Colts WR Reggie Wayne, who led the NFL with 1,510 receiving yards a season ago. Wayne is 5-1 to repeat as receiving-yards champion.

The other favorites, in order of their odds. 2007 receiving yards are in parentheses:

Bengals WR Chad Johnson (1.440): 6-1
Patriots WR Randy Moss (1,493): 8-1
Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald (1,409): 8-1
Panthers WR Steve Smith (1,002): 8-1
Cowboys WR Terrell Owens (1,355): 8-1

Here's the second tier of contenders, all with odds 12-to-15-1:

Broncos WR Brandon Marshall (1,325): 12-1
Colts WR Marvin Harrison (247): 15-1
Lions WR Roy Williams (838): 15-1
Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin (853): 15-1
Rams WR Torry Holt (1,189): 15-1

Three WRs check in at 18-1: Houston's Andre Johnson (851 yards in '07), New Orleans' Marques Colston (1,202) and Cleveland's Braylon Edwards (1,289).

Thirty-six other betting interests, including a Field wager at 15-1, are offered.
