PERUSING THE PLAYERS
???? Former No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield is now with his fourth team and is in a battle with Kyle Trask for the starting quarterback gig. Mayfield’s NFL MVP odds opened at +17500 and are down to +12000, and only one bettor has backed him to win the award. With that sole wager, the Buccaneers are tied with the Texans and Commanders for the fewest MVP bets among all players on the team ????.
???? There is some betting optimism in Tampa Bay, though. The Buccaneers took Calijah Kancey with the No. 19 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and the defensive lineman has gotten attention for Defensive Rookie of the Year. Kancey has racked up 10.4% of the handle, the third-highest mark for DROY. His odds originally swung from +2500 to +1600 but were moved back to +2500 after he suffered a calf strain last week.
