Currently, the nationwide sportsbooks I use for this column are not posting in-season odds for Defensive Rookie of the Year or Coach of the Year. So, if you are debating an in-season play on either of those or the other awards discussed in this column, feel free to reach out to me via Twitter @RyanReynNJ or via email [email protected]. My offseason study is the foundation for my awards process, and that can be found here.
Once the season starts, the main purpose of this column is to identify decision points on an awards bet. Before certain games there is a decision whether to sell or hold one’s position in an awards bet, just as there are opportunities to buy (or in some cases, buy back). Feel free to reach out via email or Twitter if you’re pondering that type of move as well.

The MVP Contenders
Russell Wilson (+100 DraftKings, FanDuel, Fox Bet): Wilson’s Seahawks lost their first game in Arizona last Sunday Night in overtime. Wilson had three interceptions in that contest, but he also had 388 yards passing and 84 rushing while his team scored 34 points. So, he lost very little ground in the MVP race despite not really playing all that well on a national stage. On the season, Wilson is first in passing touchdowns while already having his bye in the books, he’s eighth in QBR which is pretty surprising, he’s first in rating, and his Seahawks are now 5-1.
