Transcript

00:00So let's talk about this year, NFL regular season defensive player of the year for this

00:07season.

00:08Joe, you want to point out how an odd has, odds have moved for one particular player.

00:13Take it away.

00:14Yeah.

00:15TJ Watt was always the favorite for this award and TJ Watt has played out of his mind so

00:18far this year.

00:19But our pick at plus 1600 to start the year was Aiden Hutchinson, a guy who's expected

00:25sack total.

00:26When you look back and see all the data from 2023 was supposed to be significantly higher.

00:31He just had a lot of bad luck in terms of just missing the quarterback guys, throwing

00:35out of sacks, you know, weird flags issues that would come up, right?

00:41Guess what?

00:42Guess who is now number two at plus 470 Aiden Hutchinson.

00:47So that, that number has moved significantly in just two weeks.

00:52Hutchinson looked tremendous last week, uh, except for that one point where he had to

00:56kind of stop Baker Mayfield and Baker Mayfield getting a little juke there, but, uh, Baker

01:00Mayfield is playing like an MVP on his own, but Hutchinson is one of these guys.

01:03I think this is the two horse race potentially this year, TJ Watts had problems staying healthy.

01:08And that was the other reason to go on the Hutchinson side of this award because historically

01:14speaking, what is always one of these favorites, but he ends up with incomplete seasons and

01:18depending on what time that happens, it really does impact his ability to win this award.

01:23So these are two guys, very worthy of it.

01:26Something to monitor.

01:27If you didn't bet any of them yet, you're getting four plus odds on four to one right

01:31now.

01:32I mean, that's a great number for either of these guys.

01:33You can put a little on both and see which one grows and which one stays healthy, but

01:38it's worth noting already what a difference just two weeks can make and why we circled

01:43that number.

01:44And we said, this number is way too high.

01:46It's a great opportunity to get in and it's okay if you already made money on it and you're

01:50offered a cash out in the next couple of weeks because you don't have to see every wager

01:55to its end.

01:56You have to see every wager you can see into its profit.

02:00And I think that changing of the mindset is a great thing of how to go from kind of one

02:05of these people who bets on sports as a casual person to one who bets on it with a little

02:09bit more purpose, understands about the profit at the end of the day, you don't have to see

02:13every single bet to the end just to get there.
