Dpoy Nfl Odds
Last year's NFL DPOY winner, Patriots cornerback Stephen Gilmore is fifth at +1,600. Who are some long shots who could win the NFL DPOY Award? With sacks being one of the sexiest stats for defensive players to put up, there are several pass rushers on the NFL DPOY odds. Nearly taking down the season single sack record, Donald finished with 45 votes out of 50 to bring home his second DPOY award. He also was the Defensive Rookie of the Year back in 2014. The next closest competitor in terms of odds is, Khalil Mack at +420. Aaron Donald +700. Team: Los Angeles Rams. Position: Defensive Tackle. Size: 6’1”, 280 pounds.

First and foremost, we are not talking about the Associated Press choosing Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald for Defensive Player of the Year over Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt. The vote was very close and it could have gone either way. Both players had elite seasons and should be applauded for it.
But as NFL reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala points out, it is time to stop linking T.J. to his big brother J.J. Watt and let his play and career stand on its own. What Watt has done the last two seasons was DPOY worthy and the fact he shares DNA with the Texans defensive end has no bearing on that.
It really does minimize his accomplishments when you can’t mention him without reminding everyone who his older brother is, as if that has something to do with why he is an elite player.
The NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award has been dominated by pass rushers in recent history. Since 2010, seven of the last 10 winners have been pass rushers in some form, whether on the edge or at defensive tackle.
The New England Patriots’ Stephon Gilmore broke the mold last year by winning it as a cornerback, but it’s rare for a defensive back to take home this award.
In 2020, there’s a host of quality candidates, many of whom are unsurprisingly pass rushers. However, among the top eight favorites, there are two defensive backs.
- Aaron Donald of the Los Angeles Rams won Defensive Player Of The Year, which was the second time in a row from 2017 to 2018. Donald finished with 20.5 sacks and also forced four fumbles. He also had 59 combined tackles. How Does NFL Defensive Player Of The Year Voting Work? The Defensive Player Of The Year award is voted on by the Associated Press.

2020 Defensive Player of the Year best bets
Defensive Player Of The Year Odds Nfl
Best bet: Aaron Donald +750
Donald is the favorite, and for good reason. He’s won the award twice in his career and although his numbers dipped a bit last season, he was still deserving of consideration for the award because of the impact he has that doesn’t show up on the box score.
With DTs Michael Brockers back and A’Shawn Robinson also on the defensive line, Donald has a decent supporting cast – even though the loss of LB Dante Fowler Jr. will hurt from a pass-rush perspective. But Donald has had double-digit sacks in four of the last five years and should eclipse 10 in 2020.
Value play: T.J. Watt +1500
Dpoy Nfl Odds This Week
Watt had a strong case to win the award last season, but was beat out by Gilmore, who had a phenomenal season on arguably the best defense in the NFL. Watt had 14.5 sacks and tied for the NFL high with eight forced fumbles, hitting the QB 36 times in 16 games.
Nfl Opoy Odds
He’s durable and productive and his numbers have only improved each season he’s been in the NFL. Next season should be his best yet and he’ll certainly be in the running to win the award. At +1500, there’s a ton of upside, too.
Long-shot pick: Chandler Jones +3000
Dpoy Nfl Odds
The Cardinals’ Jones has never won Defensive Player of the Year, despite leading the NFL with 96 sacks since arriving in Arizona in 2016. He had a career-high 19 sacks and an NFL-leading eight forced fumbles last season, finishing second in Defensive Player of the Year voting with only seven fewer votes than Gilmore.
The Cardinals should be much-improved in 2020, too, which will only help Jones’ exposure as an impact player.
