We've picked over the hot start for Tua Tagovailoa pretty well after two weeks of NFL football. He is leading the lead in passing yards and he is tied for the league lead in touchdowns through two weeks.
Also, he had an epic comeback in Week 2 as the Miami Dolphins overcame a huge deficit against the Baltimore Ravens. That's the kind of victory that earns you a lot of attention among NFL fans and writers.
The Pick: How About Tagovailoa for Offensive Player of the Year?
We looked at Tagovailoa in the MVP market and found that he could be taken at 18 to 1 with bet365. We also found that the same sportsbook had him at 100 to 1 for NFL Offensive Player of the Year. Those are odds that severely underrate this emerging quarterback given the start that he is off to.
The favorite in this market is Justin Jefferson, however, the Minnesota Vikings' wide receiver cooled off in Week 2. He seemed to be the target of the opposing defense too much and it looked like he was crowded as Minnesota lost on Monday night.
Jonathan Taylor is the second favorite in this market. The Indianapolis Colts' running back might lead the league in rushing yards again, however, he's not leading the league at this point. It's not clear if he can reproduce his numbers from a year ago in the Colts' new offense.
The third favorite is Cooper Kupp and he is off to a great start to the season. He doesn't look like a bad pick for Offensive Player of the Year at odds of 9 to 1.
However, 100 to 1 on a quarterback that has a 2-0 team is worth a look. This looks like a betting market that will be changing some in the weeks ahead.
Offensive Player of the Year - Betting Recommendation
- Tua Tagovailoa at 100 to 1 with bet365
- Cooper Kupp at 9 to 1 with bet365
