NFL DPOY Odds: Micah misery and a NEW favorite

The battle for NFL Defensive Player Of The Year (DPOY) looked pretty much over a couple of weeks ago if you believed the Futures odds…well not any more.

Dallas Cowboys superstar LB Micah Parsons – who had been Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2021 – was -1000 odds to win DPOY going into Week 13. Fast forward a little while and he is no longer even the favorite…

Parsons lost his position at the head of the Futures line on Sunday when his Cowboys suffered a stunning 40-34 overtime loss to the Jaguars in Jacksonville.

That came three days after San Francisco 49ers DE Nick Bosa had advertised his credentials in a terrific 21-13 win over the Seahawks in Seattle. He grabbed yet another sack to top off a dominant performance and he now leads the league with 15.5. He is also your new DPOY favorite at -114. Then comes Parsons on +110.
