The NFL season awards market lets bettors look past team results and wager on individual honors, from the marquee MVP race to Coach of the Year and the top rookies. BetUS Sportsbook posts NFL odds on each major award well before Week 1, and those numbers move throughout the season as performances, injuries, and narratives take shape.
Most Valuable Player
MVP award remains quarterback-driven, and the 2026 market reflects it. Josh Allen headlines the field at +550, just ahead of Lamar Jackson at +650 — the two dual-threat quarterbacks the market trusts most to carry an offense and a win total. Joe Burrow (+900) leads the next tier, followed by a cluster of Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, and reigning AFC-champion quarterback Drake Maye, all at +1000. From there the board widens quickly, with names like Dak Prescott (+1200), Caleb Williams (+1300), and Matthew Stafford (+1400) offering longer numbers for bettors who expect a passer outside the top group to break through.
Offensive Player of the Year
With MVP so heavily tilted toward quarterbacks, OPOY is where the league’s best skill-position players draw betting interest. Detroit’s Jahmyr Gibbs is the favorite at +750, followed closely by Bijan Robinson (+850) and Ja’Marr Chase (+900). Puka Nacua (+1000) and Christian McCaffrey (+1200) round out the short end of the board. It’s a market built around running backs and receivers, and the tight pricing at the top reflects how open the race is among the league’s premier offensive weapons.
Defensive Player of the Year
Myles Garrett is the clear DPOY favorite at +400 — the shortest price on any of these award boards, signaling strong market conviction. Behind him, the edge rushers dominate: Maxx Crosby and Will Anderson Jr. are tied at +750, with Micah Parsons and Aidan Hutchinson right behind at +850. Nik Bonitto and Nick Bosa (both +1200) and T.J. Watt (+1400) anchor the next group. As usual, pass rushers drive this market, with defensive backs like Kyle Hamilton and Patrick Surtain II sitting further down the board.
Coach of the Year
Coach of the Year often rewards the biggest surprise, but the 2026 market opens with proven names near the top. John Harbaugh leads at +650, followed by first-year Raiders head coach Jesse Minter at +750 — a notable price for a debut coach, reflecting expectations for a quick turnaround. Robert Saleh (+1000), Joe Brady and Kellen Moore (both +1200), and Mike McCarthy and Kevin Stefanski (both +1400) fill out the top of a typically wide-open field where a single unexpected playoff push can decide the award.
Rookie of the Year Awards
The Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year markets round out the season awards board, pricing the incoming class of first-year offensive skill players and defenders. These races tend to be the most volatile on the board, since rookie roles and playing time can shift dramatically over the first few weeks of the season.
