With the 2021 NFL season fast-approaching, it's as good a time as any to look at the betting odds for season awards. And there has been some line movement for who will win MVP, Offensive Rookie of the Year, Defensive Rookie of the Year, and Coach of the Year. Let’s take a look at those odds and some of the liabilities to win at BetMGM.

Patrick Mahomes is the favorite to win the NFL MVP award this season. His odds opened at +600 and are now at +500. He is getting 14.1 percent of the tickets to win this and a whopping 42.9 percent of the handle. He’s also the biggest liability to win this award.
For Offensive Rookie of the Year, Trey Lance opened at +1600 and his odds are now +700 to win the award. He’s getting 15.8 percent of the tickets to win the award and 22.6 percent of the handle. And he’s the biggest liability at BetMGM to win this. He has the third-shortest odds to win this award behind Najee Harris (+600) and Trevor Lawrence (+300).
Micah Parsons is the favorite to win Defensive Rookie of the Year. His odds opened at +500 and has shortened slightly to +400. He is getting 9.5 percent of the tickets and 25.5 percent of the handle to win the award. The biggest liability to win it, however, is Patrick Surtain II with +1200 odds.
And for Coach of the Year, Sean McVay has the second-shortest odds to win this award. His odds opened at +1600 and are now at +1400. He is seeing 4.2 percent of the tickets and 20.6 percent of the handle. The biggest liability to win Coach of the Year is Arthur Smith, who has +1800 odds. The favorite to win the award is Kevin Stefanski with +1200 odds.
