With the NFL preseason already underway, now feels like an opportune time to rip through the awards markets for the 2026 regular season. Understand these wagers will be longer shots, and we\u2019re betting a little to win a lot. That said, when lightning strikes like it did with our Saquon Barkley Offensive Player of the Year tickets two years ago at 25\/1, it makes for a joyous holiday season for all. Here are three future bets I\u2019ve made for this season. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX Sports may be compensated.

There\u2019s been a ton of financial support on Cincinnati to win the AFC at multiple casinos in the desert, and you know that\u2019s lock step with belief in Burrow. When healthy, he\u2019s one of the most dangerous quarterbacks in the league, and he\u2019s got plenty of weapons at the skill positions. Burrow finished fourth in MVP voting in 2022 and 2024, and I believe he\u2019ll be right near the top if he stays healthy. He\u2019ll flirt with 4,500 passing yards and 40 touchdowns and his interception percentage should be sub-2% again. Pair those potential stats with a division title and Burrow will win his first MVP award. We\u2019re deep diving on this one, but the math makes sense. FanDuel is dealing an 18\/1 on Jefferson, which is the highest price we\u2019ve seen on him since he won this award in 2022. Kirk Cousins ain\u2019t walking through that door at quarterback, but there\u2019s optimism inside the Vikings’ facility that Kevin O\u2019Connell can squeeze a lot of juice out of Kyler Murray. Minnesota\u2019s quarterback room was one of the worst in the NFL a year ago and Jefferson was rather outspoken about his lack of red zone targets. He somehow only caught two touchdown passes last year, and I’m buying the price dip on a player with a lot to prove. Simply put, Reese is a monster. At 6-foot-4 and 245 pounds with unmatched size and speed, he\u2019ll be an absolute nightmare against opposing offenses. It\u2019s sounding more and more like the Giants will use him all over the field and that makes sense. He\u2019s versatile enough to drop into coverage, stuff the run and get to the quarterback. I can\u2019t wait to see how John Harbaugh and Dennard Wilson deploy his talents. According to Pro Football Focus, Reese graded as an 88.2 in 16 preseason snaps against the Vikings this past weekend. Small sample size? Sure. But if he plays like that for four months, look out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
