Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens is off to a hot start in the NFL. The former MVP for the league, Jackson is considered the favorite to win the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year award. Here's a look at his betting odds and the other players in the market with bet365 sportsbook.
- Lamar Jackson +600
- Cooper Kupp +700
- Justin Jefferson +700
- Jalen Hurts +800
- Stefon Diggs +900
Josh Allen is a notable absence in the above list. The quarterback for the Buffalo Bills is the MVP favorite with bet365. However, he is out at 12 to 1 in the above market, which would tie him with Jonathan Taylor, Saquon Barkley, and Nick Chubb. Last year, a receiver won Offensive Player of the Year (Cooper Kupp).
Jackson, who is in a contract year, earns the favorite designation in this market. That follows a start to the season that includes tons of rushing yards and tons of passing touchdowns. He is tied for 5th in the league in rushing with Christian McCaffrey. Each player has 243 yards rushing on the season. The award for Offensive Player of the Year usually goes to a prolific passer or prolific rusher. That Jackson holds both skillsets makes him a strong favorite.
Jackson leads the NFL outright in touchdowns with 10. He also has the second-best QBR with 78.4. Tua Tagovailoa is the outright leader in that category.
Baltimore's next game is on Sunday when they face the Buffalo Bills. That will be a showdown between two strong teams in the NFL.
