The NFL regular season kicks off next week and offseason action on futures has been pouring in. Let’s look at which teams and players have been getting the most betting interest in various markets before the real games begin.
Here are the players that have gotten the most action to win NFL Offensive Player of the Year.
MOST TICKETS TO WIN OPOY
1. Justin Jefferson (+1200) 7.6%
The reigning OPOY winner will try to be the first player to repeat since Marshall Faulk ripped off three in a row from 1999-2001.
2. Garrett Wilson (+2000) 6.3%
The Jets’ second-year wideout opened at +3300 for the award and reached as low as +1200 before settling in at +2000.
3. Justin Fields (+2000) 6.3%
Fields is the only QB in the top 10 for tickets, with Jalen Hurts having the next-most OPOY bets at 2.2% (T-12th).
MOST HANDLE TO WIN OPOY
1. Garrett Wilson 16.4%
Hard to fault bettors’ excitement here considering Wilson topped 1,000 receiving yards as a rookie with the triumvirate of Zach Wilson/Mike White/Joe Flacco throwing him passes.
2. Christian McCaffrey (+1300) 14.6%
McCaffrey racked up 1,210 total yards and 10 touchdowns in 11 regular season games after he was traded to the 49ers. Now imagine a full year with Kyle Shanahan.
3. Nick Chubb (+1700) 8.8%
Only Jamaal Charles (5.4) has averaged more yards per carry than Chubb (5.2) among all running backs in the Super Bowl era. And Chubb has the Cleveland backfield to himself with Kareem Hunt gone.
