The 2022 NFL season is on the way and as well as thinking about which teams are going to have success by winning their divisions, conferences or the Super Bowl, we can also make our predictions for who will win the individual awards.
Right now, we’re going to take a look at the odds for the Defensive Player of the Year Award, which was won for the first time last year by linebacker TJ Watt of the Pittsburgh Steelers after his 22.5-sack season. It was not his family’s first success in this award, though, as his older brother JJ Watt is one of just three players to have won DPoY 3 times, alongside Lawrence Taylor and Aaron Donald. The recent list of winners shows the elite level of talent required to win, with Luke Kuechly, Khalil Mack and Stephon Gilmore the other winners apart from JJ Watt and Donald in the last decade.
Let's take a look at the odds and the best bets to be made.
