Russell Wilson is officially a member of the Denver Broncos. Tom Brady’s short-lived retirement has come to an end. So who will have the better season statistically?

According to one oddsmaker, it’s Brady by a hair.

MaximBet comparing how the two quarterbacks would fare head-to-head in number of touchdown passes, total yards passing and fewest interceptions thrown during the regular season.

Brady, 44, has -152 odds — meaning a $152 bet would win $100 — to throw more touchdowns than Wilson. The Buccaneers QB also has an edge (-200) to pass for more yards than his Denver counterpart. Both are tied (-118) to throw the fewest number of picks.

Last season, Brady completed 67.5% of his passes for 5,316 yards, 43 touchdowns and six interceptions in 17 games. Wilson completed 64.8% of his passes for 3,113 yards, 25 touchdowns and six interceptions in 14 games.
