How NFL Awards Odds Work

NFL awards odds are season-long futures odds on which player will win a specific award, such as NFL MVP, Offensive Player of the Year or Rookie of the Year. A bet wins only if the player receives that award at the end of the season.

Odds with a plus sign show the potential profit on a $100 bet. For example, a $100 bet on Josh Allen at +600 would profit $600 if Allen wins NFL MVP. A $100 bet on Myles Garrett at +450 would profit $450 if Garrett wins Defensive Player of the Year.

This page lists the top 10 players in each NFL awards market, plus any players tied at the top-10 cutoff. Significant movers outside the top 10 may also be highlighted in the key-takeaway sections.

This page tracks three odds checkpoints for every player:

  • Current odds: The latest NFL awards odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook.
  • Previous update: The odds from this page’s prior update.
