- T.J. Watt has +750 odds to win Defensive Player of the Year honors while J.J. Watt is at +5000.
- T.J. is the third betting choice to lead the NFL in sacks with J.J. being the 17th option.
- Sportsbooks give J.J.’s team a better chance to have the most wins.
LAS VEGAS – T.J. Watt is projected to be one of the best defensive players in the NFL again this season, while J.J. Watt’s decline puts him further down the board. However, J.J. may find himself on a more successful team.
Individual Performances: T.J. Among League’s Best
When debating the best defensive player in the NFL for the upcoming season, T.J. Watt may be a part of the conversation, but it’s unlikely that his brother, J.J. Watt, gets much attention. Online sportsbooks seem to echo the same sentiment.
NFL Defensive Player Of The Year Odds
- T.J. Watt +750
- J.J. Watt +5000
Considering many believe T.J. was robbed of DPOY honors last year, it’s fair to slot him atop the board in 2021.
He has the third-shortest odds and is only behind Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett.
J.J. had an incredible four-year run where he combined for 69 sacks, 15 forced fumbled and 10 fumble recoveries, but has slowed down significantly since. J.J. has just 26.5 sacks over the past five seasons and has been struggling with a multitude of injuries that won’t seem to go away.
Due to J.J.’s struggles to get to the quarterback and T.J.’s rapid improvement, it’s no surprise to see the younger brother have shorter odds on NFL betting sites to lead the league in sacks.
