Micah Parsons finished second in 2021 NFL Defensive Player of the Year voting, falling just short of becoming the second rookie to win the award (Lawrence Taylor, 1981). Bettors love Parsons’ chances of finishing first in 2022.
Entering the season, the Dallas Cowboys’ linebacker sits among DPOY favorites in NFL odds as he tries to deny Aaron Donald a record fourth award and T.J. Watt a back-to-back award.
Here are updated Defensive Player of the Year odds and public betting (as of Sept. 7):
