It could be easy to just select Patrick Mahomes for MVP, or Caleb Williams for Offensive Rookie of the Year, but what fun would that be? In order to be selected here, you cannot be the favorite pick at any of the major Sportsbooks.
NFL MVP: Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers
With a new coach in Jim Harbaugh, a new surrounding cast on offense and another opportunity to take that next step and become a superstar, 2024 will be a huge season for Herbert. His talent is clear, he is extremely athletic and many teams across the NFL would love to have him under center. Can he get it done in Los Angeles and take the Chargers somewhere they have never been?
Caesars Sportsbook: +2200 (Best Odds)
BetMGM Sportsbook: +1400 (Worst Odds)
NFL Offensive Player of the Year: Breece Hall, New York Jets
If Breece can stay healthy, and well, the rest of the Jets offense can stay healthy, he may be in for a phenomenal year. He can catch the ball out of the backfield, and even lined up as a receiver. His ability with the ball in his hands on the ground is also impressive, and with more weapons surrounding him than ever before, a healthy season may have no ceiling.
DraftKings Sportsbook: +1500 (Worst Odds)
Fanduel Sportsbook: +2200 (Best Odds)
Caesars Sportsbook: +1500 (Worst Odds)
NFL Defensive Player of the Year: T.J. Watt, Pittsburgh Steelers
Watt has been an absolute animal when he is able to stay on the field (a common theme, I know). He has been able to dominate nearly any match up that has come his way, and his presence on the field tends to completely alter the Pittsburgh defense. He, in most sportsbooks, is among the top 2 favorites for Defensive Player of the Year, alongside Micah Parsons. Fanduel offers the best odds currently, as they have Myles Garrett slated ahead of him at +600.
DraftKings Sportsbook: +550 (Worst Odds)
Fanduel Sportsbook: +750 (Best Odds)
BetMGM Sportsbook: +550 (Worst Odds)
ESPN Sportsbook: +550 (Worst Odds)
