PERUSING THE PLAYERS
???? Only seven players have better NFL MVP odds than Justin Fields right now. Chicago’s dual-threat QB opened at +3000, and is now tied for the eighth-lowest odds at +1500 with Trevor Lawrence. Not only has Fields received the most bets to win the award (18.7%), he’s also gotten over twice as many bets as any other player for MVP outside of Jalen Hurts ????. Fields comes in second in handle at 16.8%, just behind Joe Burrow at 17.1%.
???? While Matt Eberflus isn’t getting snaps anytime soon, we’ll make an exception in this section for the second-year Bears head coach ????. Eberflus was originally posted at +1500 for Coach of the Year, and he’s all the way down to +750. That’s good for the second-lowest Coach of the Year odds, only trailing Dan Campbell at +700. Eberflus is also second in both tickets (13.9%) and handle (28.9%) in this market.
