Super Bowl Gambling: Pennington to Start Instead Of Henne

Tony Sparano, the head coach for Miami Dolphins, has decided to allow Chad Pennington to start instead of Chad Henne, in the match against the Tennessee Titans, to be held on Sunday. The Super Bowl Gambling fans are hoping that this decision of the coach proves to be a right one and helps the team to win the match.

This season The Dolphins are off to a 4-4 start and still have to win a home game over three tries.

Henne has a record of completing 63.5 percent of his passes, for 1,900 yards, along with eight touchdowns and 10 interceptions during this season.
