NFL Betting: 2-Month Countdown

• With the NFL season just two months away bettors are looking at the best options currently available across the major online sportsbooks.
• Sportsbooks are currently offering valuable future and prop bets for the 2021 NFL season like Josh Allen to win MVP at +1100 odds, Trevor Lawrence to win Offensive Rookie of the Year at +275, and +125 odds for the Los Angeles Chargers to make the playoffs.

LAS VEGAS – The weeks of Summer are beginning to tick away and that means that the 2021 NFL season is rapidly approaching.

In fact, it is just two months until kickoff of the 2021 NFL season. It is this time every year that the major online sportsbooks begin rolling out their betting odds for the upcoming season.

Fans of NFL futures and prop bets can now find all kinds of different odds spanning each team and multiple different categories ahead of the biggest betting season of the year.

There are five different bets that bettors are paying the most attention to ahead of this NFL season, starting with the odds for NFL MVP.

Betting on the NFL MVP is a tough ask, since any player can elevate their game to top-tier levels without too much notice.

A few players have great value, like Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen at +1100. Allen was playing at an MVP level in 2020, and could easily be in the conversation once again if his Bills are able to rack up wins in a depleted AFC East.

Other valuable options include Matthew Stafford at +1400, Justin Herbert at +1800, and Derrick Henry at +4500.

Those looking for a bit of a smaller sample size can check out the odds for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.

While there are plenty of candidates here, this award is Trevor Lawrence’s to lose.

The number one overall pick has the keys to Duvall County and has to simply play at an adequate level to receive the universal love and praise that he has already been showered with throughout his college career.

Those looking to bet on the NFL can get Lawrence at +275 odds to win OROY, which has to be some of the best value available on the board.

Another individual award that has betting odds now available is the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year award.

This award is given to a player that comes back to the league and dominates, usually from a devastating injury.

While it will be hard to top Alex Smith’s performance from last year, there are multiple strong candidates for this award like Dak Prescott, Saquon Barkley, and Christian McCaffrey.

Any of those three guys could bring home this award if they play at their best, but Prescott is the front runner here knowing how much media attention his Dallas Cowboys get.

If Dak is able to lead the Cowboys to the Playoffs, he would almost be a lock for this award and well worth the +170 pricetag.

Other bets available via the online sportsbooks deal with the performance of each individual team.

Bettors can find betting odds for over/under win totals on all 32 NFL teams. This is the perfect way to fade your rival or back your team without betting on them to win the Super Bowl outright.

There is tons of value in these bets, with a team like the Jaguars leading the way.

The Jags appear to have the tools necessary to make it to seven wins. With two games against the Houston Texans, anything is possible.

On the other side, bettors can also find odds for each NFL team to make the playoffs.

This is a great way to find value on a sleeper team like the Los Angeles Chargers.

Even in a staunch AFC West, the Chargers showed tons of promise behind Justin Fields in 2020. Betting on them to make the jump to a few more wins and snag a Wild Card spot for plus money should be on the radar of many NFL bettors.
