MVP

We know this is a quarterback only award, so it’s no surprise to see nothing but gunslingers on this list. Three QBs have won the last six MVPs, two of them are on this list, and the other is Aaron Rodgers (+2500). Stroud has lot on his shoulders, Allen doesn’t have half the team around him that he has had. If Burrow can get through a season healthy, he might have a chance. Jackson knows how hard it is to win back-to-back, so I’m going with the obvious choice of Patrick Mahomes who has a revamped WR corp.

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR

Since the MVP is dominated by QBs, the Offensive POY is reserved for the rest of the league. If Tyreek Hill gets 2,000 yard receiving, then he is a shoe in, but that’s not going to be the easiest thing to reach. I’m going with one of the other receivers on the list. Give me Ja’Marr Chase with a healthy Burrow back under center, he’s going to remind us of how much of a game changer he is.

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR

It’s tough to say who the most dominant player on the list is. Garrett, Bosa and Watt are the last three winners of the DPOY, so I think it’s Parsons turn. Obviously being on a good defense helps you win the award, so his teammates might have to step up and help their anchor.

OFFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

I know who everyone is going to want to win the award. Caleb Williams has been a media darling for the last few years, and it’s going to take something special to knock him off track for Offensive Rookie of the Year. He is equipped with a better team than Jayden Daniels, but don’t sleep on Marvin Harrison Jr. who I think is going to have a historic rookie season in Arizona.

DEFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

Can’t say I’ve done as much studying of the rookie defenders coming into the league this year. I love a defender that has a name is worthy of a Rookie of the Year, and there are plenty to choose from on this list. Chop is my man, Latu is a killer, but I’m going with Dallas Turner. His parents knew they had a football player on their hands as soon as they named him Dallas.

COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR

This might be the toughest one of all to call. Joe Flacco won the award at 39 years old, so don’t count out Rodgers at 40. Having said that, I’m not willing to put my money on a middle aged QB to come off an Achilles injury and dominate the league. That means Kirk is out too. Let’s go with Burrow. He’s young, he’s knows what it takes to get to the Super Bowl, and this year I think he’s swinging for the fences.

COACH OF THE YEAR

Look at this. It wasn’t so long ago that Matt Eberflus had a foot and a half out of the Windy City and now he’s the favorite to win the Coach of the Year. I don’t know if I’m completely buying into to the Bears and Eberflus just yet, but I do think his NFC North counter part, Matt LaFleur, is going to have a huge season with Jordan Love and and that defense in the Frozen Tundra.
