Aaron Donald +700. Team: Los Angeles Rams. Position: Defensive Tackle. Size: 6’1”, 280 pounds. Some usual suspects are up top in terms of odds. Khalil Mack is sitting at +1100, and Nick Bosa has taken a major jump at +1300. Mack has won the award once already, doing it back in 2016. He posted 78 combined tackles, 11/0 sacks, and also forced five fumbles, recovering three of them.

Surely you have a hunch on who’s going to win the NFL MVP. Maybe you want to gamble on Kevin Stefanski taking home the Coach of the Year honors.

In any case, time is running out to bet on the individual awards.

With less than a month remaining in the regular season, this could be your last opportunity to grab hold of some favorable odds.

Check out the updated odds and my latest NFL awards predictions.

Boy am I happy I latched onto Patrick Mahomes winning the NFL MVP award way back in May. That +600 price tag has sailed far, far away, to a land that no longer exists. On the heels of a video-game-like 31/2 TD/INT ratio, the Chiefs QB has been virtually unstoppable.

He’s leading the league in passing yards by a mile, he’s tops in QBR, and his team is tied for the best record in football.

Patrick’s most definitely my pick to win, although a bet on A-Rod (+275) is certainly worth a look. Sporting a league-high 36 touchdown passes, Rodgers is the only man who can even sniff Mahomes’ territory.

I swear this blog wasn’t designed for me to toot my own horn. At the same time, it’s worth noting that when I picked T.J. Watt to win the 2020 NFL DPOY, J.J.’s little brother was hanging out at +1100.

Divide that by 10 at that’s the current price you’ll get for the league’s most dominant defender.

Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett are worthy of consideration, and Xavien Howard has been lights out for an upstart Dolphins defense. With that being said, it’ll take monumental efforts on their behalf to chase down the Steelers outside linebacker.

As great as these other candidates have played, Watt has simply been better.

NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Odds and Prediction

This is a two-horse race that should be a lot tighter than what the current odds are portraying. Herbert has a built-in edge simply because he’s a quarterback, but what happens if the Chargers finish 4-12 and the Vikings make the playoffs?

Save for a dismal performance against a Bill Belichick-coached defense, Justin has fully-demonstrated that he’s going to be a star in this league. Averaging north of 293 passing yards per game, his arm strength and athleticism has been on full display. Nevertheless, the Bolts 22-year-old signal-caller ranks 18^th in QBR and 19^th in Passer Rating.

Flip the coin and Justin Jefferson has been terrorizing DBs all season long and putting his name in the same conversations as Randy Moss.

The LSU product is among the highest-graded players in all football (according to PFF) and he’s a major reason why Minnesota still has a fighting chance.

By all accounts, +225 appears to be a fairly substantial price.

Patrick Queen has come on strong. Antoine Winfield has done a nice job anchoring the back-end of the Bucs defense. The two DBs from the University of Utah are equally deserving of a ton of praise, but the 2020 DROY Award looks to be a battle between Chase Young and Jeremy Chinn.

The 2^nd overall pick versus the player drafted at the tail end of the second round (64th overall).

Young is a difference-maker and a guy capable of penetrating the line of scrimmage, but let’ look at performances over the last five weeks.

Chase has contributed a total of 10 tackles and two sacks.

On the other hand, the Panthers do-it-all safety racked up 13 tackles and scored two touchdowns during a week 12 game in Minnesota. Chinn won the NFC’s Defensive Rookie of the Month in October and again in November. There’s no reason he shouldn’t win the award that culminates the year.

NFL Comeback Player of the Year Odds and Prediction

There’s no real reason to dive deeply into who will win the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award. Go ahead and pencil Alex Smith in. The league may as well get a head start on engraving the hardware.

Big Ben is going to finish the season with better numbers, and Pittsburgh is going to end the year with a much better record than Washington. However, in November of 2018, it didn’t look like Alex Smith was ever going to walk again, much less play quarterback in the National Football League.

Well, not only is Alex playing, but he’s leading Washington to a potential NFC East title.

NFL Coach of the Year Odds and Prediction

Mike Tomlin might be the favorite according to the top betting sites, but most people “in the know” expected the Steelers to be among the best teams in football. This doesn’t take away from the masterful job Tomlin has done, especially considering all of the scheduling curveballs the league has thrown at Pittsburgh.

Kevin Stefanski needs to be extolled for turning the tide in Cleveland and is a great bet to take this award home. And then there’s Brian Flores.

The coach in Miami was staring at a win total of six before the year began, yet here the Phins are sitting pretty at 8-4. Teetering between Ryan Fitzpatrick and Tua Tagovailoa, Flores has managed his offense and allowed his defense and special teams to shine.

In the event that the Dolphins stamp their ticket to the postseason, the Bill Belichick disciple should be recognized.

Aaron Donald has another accolade to add to his ever-growing list of accomplishments. The Professional Football Writers of America named Donald the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year for 2020, an award that’s voted on by accredited writers across the country.

This is the second time Donald has won the award. He also won it in 2018 when he led the NFL with 20.5 sacks, setting a single-season record for a defensive tackle.

This isn’t the official Defensive Player of the Year award recognized by the NFL, as that’s the one handed out by the Associated Press, but it’s still an incredible accomplishment for No. 99. He finished the season with 13.5 sacks, a league-high 98 total pressures, 27 QB hits and 14 tackles for loss – all of which led the Rams.

Donald is one of two Rams players to ever win this award, with Robert Quinn (2013) being the other. Only three other defensive tackles have won PFWA Defensive Player of the Year, but Donald is the only one to win it multiple times.

The AP Defensive Player of the Year will be announced at the NFL Honors show the night before Super Bowl LV, so we’ll have to wait and see if Donald wins it for the third time in four years. T.J. Watt is his stiffest competition after leading the league in sacks with 15.

Since 2000, there have only been three instances of a player winning PFWA Defensive Player of the Year but not winning AP Defensive Player of the Year. One of those examples was in 2017 when Calais Campbell won PFWA’s award, while Donald won AP’s.

So Donald has a good chance to win the AP’s version of the award in a couple of weeks, too.
