A quarterback has taken home the NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award each of the last three seasons. Alex Smith won it last season with Ryan Tannehill and Andrew Luck before him. That made it 13 of 19 seasons that a field general took home the distinguished award. A quick glance of the 2021-22 CBOY Award odds finds a quadrant of field generals sitting atop the heap led by none other than Dak Prescott who was on the verge of smashing Dallas Cowboys record books before a gruesome ankle injury en... 

Defensive Player of the Year Award talks have begun and ended with Los Angeles Rams’ defensive tackle Aaron Donald who became one of only three players to win the award three times after beating out T.J. Watt a season ago. Online sportsbooks pegged him the odds on favorite to win it a fourth straight time in 2021, but the betting markets have reshaped things just a bit heading into Week 1 of the NFL betting season. A defensive lineman has taken home the honors in six of the last ten seasons, and... 

The table listed below relays the current odds for the first NFL coach to be fired as well as where they originally hit the board. A quick glance at online sportsbook’s offerings lets it be known who is safe and who finds their derrières situated on the hot seat entering the regular season. Mike McCarthy undoubtedly has the most pressure thrust upon his shoulders with the Dallas Cowboy... 

The best running back in the NFL is looking to become the first running back since Emmitt Smith to lead the league in rushing for three consecutive seasons. Derrick Henry has been awfully impressive throughout the course of his career. Henry became the all-time leading national rusher in high school by running for over 12,000 yards at tiny Yulee HS north of Jacksonville. He went on to excel at Alabama, winning the Heisman Trophy as a junior after running for 2,219 yards and 28 touchdowns.... 

Dalvin Cook has proven to be one of the best running backs in the NFL over the last two seasons. The former Florida State star was taken by Minnesota in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft, and the Vikings have been happy with his production. After dealing with injuries his rookie season and only playing four games, Cook ran for 1,135 yards and 13 touchdowns in 14 games in 2019. His 2020 campaign was even better, as Cook rattled off 1,557 yards and 16 touchdowns. He immediately rewarded the V... 

After three seasons as the No. 1 back in Cleveland, the Browns decided to reward Nick Chubb with a contract extension this summer. Chubb signed a three-year extension worth $36.6 million in late July, quieting any concerns of a potential holdout. It’s money well spent for Cleveland considering what we have seen from Chubb when he has been on the field. Nick Chubb has averaged a... 

One of the best all-around running backs in the NFL over the last four seasons has been Alvin Kamara. The Tennessee product was criminally underused by Butch Jones during his time with the Volunteers, but that allowed Sean Payton to scoop up Kamara in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Since his debut, Kamara has been remarkably consistent as an efficient runner and one of the best receivers out of the backfield in the NFL. ... 

The offseason proved to be very lucrative for Green Bay Packers’ running back Aaron Jones. Green Bay signed Jones to a four-year deal worth $48 million to keep the young, talented runner in green and gold for the near future. The deal included a $13 million signing bonus that is more than twice as much as he made in the first four years of his rookie contract as a fifth-round... 

Thankfully we have one less preseason week to have to deal with in 2021. Instead, we will get an extra regular-season game to put to good use. NFL Teams will use the final week of preseason action to judge marginal players on the cut bubble. Also, many teams will be giving new rookies enough playing time to assess if they are ready for the regular season. Of course, new quarterbacks are getting the majority of attention. Mac Jones of the New England Patriots, Justin Fields of the Chicago Bears, Trey Lance of the San Francisco 49ers, Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Zach Wilson of the New York Jets are all prepping for potential starting jobs. ... 

It was a brutal 2020 season for Christian McCaffrey. After having back-to-back Pro Bowl seasons in 2018 and 2019, McCaffrey had the worst year of his career in 2020. In April, he signed a four-year, $64 million extension with the Carolina Panthers, but he could only play in three games after suffering a high ankle sprain and a shoulder injury. That led to McCaffrey finishing ... 

Dallas may have some buyer’s remorse after signing Ezekiel Elliott to a six-year, $90 million contract extension with $50 million of guaranteed money two years ago. Elliott had a solid season in 2019, but he had the worst season of his career in 2020. The three-time Pro Bowl selection ran for a career-low 979 yards and six touchdowns, averaging a career-worst 4.0 YPC. Additionally, he lost four fumbles after losing just five fumbles in his first four seasons in the NFL. ... 

The propositional betting market certainly enjoys a player like Lamar Jackson. With his unique skill set at the most important position on the football field, oddsmakers go crazy coming up with props for him. So of course this season offers a bunch of wagering opportunities on what the Baltimore Ravens quarterback might accomplish. Jackson has done plenty in his brief career winning a MVP award while directing the highest scoring offense in the NFL in 2019. QBs aren’t usually tagged with a prop ... 

No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence enters the 2021 season with more buzz than any player since Andrew Luck. Lawrence was heralded as the best quarterback prospect since Luck in high school, college, and prior to the NFL Draft, and it was a no-brainer that he would be the first player taken in the 2021 NFL Draft. The Jacksonville Jaguars had the fortune of selecting the potential franchise quarterbac...

Propositional bets are a fun way to spice up ones NFL wagering experience, and what better way to do that than looking at one of the most electrifying players in the league. For as much as Patrick Mahomes has accomplished you’d think he’s been slinging the football for more than three seasons. A league MVP, Super Bowl champion and MVP, and three-time Pro Bowler, Mahomes has done more in his brief ti... 

Last week was a big one for many of the quarterbacks taken in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. But perhaps the biggest news was made from a first round draft pick of the 2019 NFL Draft. There is no doubt that Dwayne Haskins will go down as one of the biggest draft busts in NFL History. Perhaps Haskins was destined to serve as the karma that Washington owner Dan Snyder richly deserves. Haskins didn’t last two seasons in Washington before being fired for misconduct. The Pittsburgh Steelers p...

You can wager on just about anything in the NFL and with scoring at an all-time high why not take a shot at which team will score the most points in 2021? It seems easy enough, right. Not so fast. A record five teams averaged more than 30 points in 2020 with the Green Bay Packers topping the list with 509 total points. A touchdown and 2-point conversion is all that separated the Pack from Buffalo on the scoring chart. ... 

What team do you think will finish with the best regular season record in the NFL this season?

Take everything you know about wagering on regular season NFL games and throw it out the window during the exhibition season. That’s because the rules are completely different, the rosters are full of unknowns and coaches are looking to evaluate personnel. In other words, there isn’t much of an emphasis on winning. And that’s why there are some vanilla lines at top NFL sportsbooks during the preseason, and especially when it comes to the first week of games.... 

If anything there should be a little more interest the Hall of Fame game than what we’ve seen in years past. With the game and enshrinement ceremony cancelled last year due to the COVID pandemic, the NFL will embark on a shortened preseason starting Thursday when the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers tangle. This will actually be the first preseason NFL game since 2019 since the entire exhibiti... 

The Seattle Seahawks have been an interesting case study this offseason. Regardless of working behind the best pass-blocking offensive line throughout his tenure in the Emerald City and watching D.K. Metcalf evolve into a game changer his second season, Russell Wilson wasn’t happy. So much so that reports surfaced about him wanting out! He was attached to a bevy of rumors leading up to the NFL Draft with him headed to Chicago or Miami. Blah blah blah; it was all hot noise! The 2021-22 NFL bettin...
