The NFL regular season has come to a close, and with it, most major awards have all but found their respective home. However, we still have a handful of races that are coming down to the wire. Let's get into our NFL award odds & predictions and pick some winners. The awards will be handed out at NFL Honors at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco during Super Bowl week (Thursday, Feb. 5).


🏆 NFL MVP odds 2026

MVP prediction

The NFL MVP odds show a tight race between Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and Patriots signal-caller Drake Maye. If you're seeking value, place your wager on Maye at +150. He owned the favorite status up until Week 18, when Stafford beat up on the lowly Arizona Cardinals.


🙌 NFL Offensive Player of the Year odds 2026

Live NFL Offensive Player of the Year odds via the best NFL betting sites.

Matthew Stafford +40000 0.25% $4000.00
Drake Maye +40000 0.25% $4000.00

OPOY prediction

Jaxon Smith-Njigba has absolutely ran away on the NFL Offensive Player of the Year odds board, but Puka Nacua is still a sneaky good play. Playing fewer games, his stats are similar to Smith-Njigba's. Bet on Nacua with caution here. 


🏈 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds 2026

R.J. Harvey +40000 0.25% $4000.00
Ashton Jeanty +40000 0.25% $4000.00

OROY prediction

McMillan has taken the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds by storm here. Although Tyler Shough made a valiant effort late in the season, this is TMac's award.


🛡️ NFL Defensive Player of the Year odds 2026

Nik Bonitto +20000 0.50% $2000.00
Aidan Hutchinson +20000 0.50% $2000.00

DPOY prediction

Yeah, there's no touching Myles Garrett on the NFL Defensive Player of the Year odds board. Breaking the single-season sack record cements you as the winner.


🏈 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year odds 2026

NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year odds via FanDuel.

Player Odds Implied Probability Profit on $10 Bet
Carson Schwesinger -700 87.50% $1.43
James Pearce Jr +550 15.38% $55.00
Nick Emmanwori +3500 2.78% $350.00

DROY prediction

Carson Schwesinger came out of nowhere and tore this award away from James Pearce Jr. and Nick Emmanwori down the stretch. He's the runaway favorite on the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year odds.


📓 NFL Coach of the Year odds 2026

NFL Coach of the Year odds via FanDuel.

Coach Odds Implied probability Profit ($10 bet)
Mike Vrabel, Patriots -370 78.72% $2.70

Liam Coen, Jaguars +700 12.50% $70

Sean Payton, Broncos +20000 0.50% $2000
Kyle Shanahan, 49ers +30000 0.33% $3000

COY prediction

What Mike Vrabel did in New England this year was incredible. He turned Drake Maye into an MVP favorite and turned a team that finished last in the AFC East a year ago into Super Bowl contenders. That's all there is to it on the NFL Coach of the Year odds


🩹 NFL Comeback Player of the Year odds 2026 

NFL Comeback Player of the Year odds via FanDuel.

Player Odds Implied Probability Profit on $10 Bet
Christian McCaffrey -700 87.50% $1.43

Aidan Hutchinson +10000 0.99% $1000.00

Stefon Diggs +10000 0.99% $1000.00
Philip Rivers +15000 0.66% $1500.00

CPOY prediction

Christian McCaffrey was pretty close to a 1,000-yard receiving and 1,000-yard rushing campaign. He did finish with 2,000 all-purpose yards, however, allowing him to run away on the NFL Comeback Player of the Year odds board.


⚔️ NFL Protector of the Year odds

Tristan Wirfs +2500 3.85% $250.00

Protector of the Year prediction

This is anyone's game, although Penei Sewell has been the favorite on the NFL Protector of the Year odds board from wire-to-wire.
