00:00Joe Burrow and Kirk Cousins now both plus 325, co-favorites atop the market.

00:04J.K. Dobbins, who had a substandard game on Monday night on the road at the Arizona Cardinals.

00:09Dobbins plus 350.

00:11Aaron Rodgers now at plus 550, along with Tamar Hamlin.

00:14I'm like, I guess he can win.

00:16I would never bet him, just saying.

00:18And Nick Chubb, Nick Chubb's at nine to one here.

00:21I feel like you have a lot to say, so go ahead and say it.

00:23Yeah, Nick Chubb will start there because he was the big mover in the market.

00:28If you bet Nick Chubb at 50 to one, 30 to one, 40 to one, whatever, you have a great bet.

00:33I just don't know if it has the upside to win based on the team quality.

00:36Now, I don't think most people think about Comeback Player of the Year as a team award,

00:40but it kind of is.

00:40You need your team to be playing well to be a relevant part of the NFL discussion

00:45once we get into the month of December, which is when everyone starts to make up their minds

00:48on what they want to do with the rewards ballots.

00:51I was looking this up this morning.

00:52I'm always trying to figure out, what are the trends?

00:54What are things that have to take place for somebody to win an award?

00:57Do you know that we have not had a Comeback Player of the Year winner

01:00win that was not on a playoff team since 2003?

01:03That's the last time.

01:042003 was the last time somebody won this award and didn't make the playoffs.

01:08Now, ask yourself.

01:10It was the Cincinnati Bengals.

01:13I don't want to take up too much time here.

01:15I'm not going to know who it is off the top of my head.

01:17It's John Kitna.

01:18John Kitna won the award in 2003.

01:20The Bengals went eight and eight.

01:21So ask yourself, if you think Cleveland can make the playoffs, then go crazy.

01:26Bet Nick Chubb.

01:27But he, last week, had 22 yards and a touchdown.

01:30This week, he goes up against the Baltimore Ravens.

01:32They're an underdog in the market.

01:34There's a good chance they're trailing in the second half.

01:36You think this is going to be a big Nick Chubb game for him to rack up rushing yards?

01:40I don't think that's what it's going to be.

01:41Not to say it can't be that, but just be realistic about the situation.

01:44Do you think the Browns are going to have a lead in the fourth quarter going into that game?

01:47I don't think so.

01:48So if this team continues a downward spiral, they fall to one and seven,

01:52and they can't make the postseason.

01:54I don't think Nick Chubb has the upside to actually win this award,

01:57even though everybody loves him.

01:58I still think it's Kirk Cousins right now.

02:00Unless the Falcons have a complete collapse,

02:02but with Tampa's injuries at wide receiver,

02:04the Falcons, it's all out there.

02:06The red carpet has been laid out for them to win the NFC South.

02:08If they do that, Kirk Cousins, I think, wins comeback player of the year.

02:11I don't like everybody else that's being priced around him.

02:13I think that this is actually a pretty gross misprice in the market.

02:16That is an excellent job by Femi with all of the award takes today.

02:21Yeah, I would not have guessed Kitna.

02:25I don't know who I even would have guessed there.
