PERUSING THE PLAYERS
One Patriots longshot that has drawn noticeable attention in an awards market? That would be bruiser Rhamondre Stevenson. His odds to win Offensive Player of the Year have swung from +15000 to +7500, as he’s corralled the eighth-most handle in this market (3.3%).
First-round cornerback Christian Gonzalez has gotten rave reviews in training camp, and it’s been reflected in the odds. He was moved from +1200 to +1000 for Defensive Rookie of the Year yesterday, and has brought in the seventh-most handle (3.8%).
