SportsTranscript
00:00So let's talk about this year, NFL regular season defensive player of the year for this
00:07season.
00:08Joe, you want to point out how an odd has, odds have moved for one particular player.
00:13Take it away.
00:14Yeah.
00:15TJ Watt was always the favorite for this award and TJ Watt has played out of his mind so
00:18far this year.
00:19But our pick at plus 1600 to start the year was Aiden Hutchinson, a guy who's expected
00:25sack total.
00:26When you look back and see all the data from 2023 was supposed to be significantly higher.
00:31He just had a lot of bad luck in terms of just missing the quarterback guys, throwing
00:35out of sacks, you know, weird flags issues that would come up, right?
00:41Guess what?
00:42Guess who is now number two at plus 470 Aiden Hutchinson.
00:47So that, that number has moved significantly in just two weeks.
00:52Hutchinson looked tremendous last week, uh, except for that one point where he had to
00:56kind of stop Baker Mayfield and Baker Mayfield getting a little juke there, but, uh, Baker
01:00Mayfield is playing like an MVP on his own, but Hutchinson is one of these guys.
01:03I think this is the two horse race potentially this year, TJ Watts had problems staying healthy.
01:08And that was the other reason to go on the Hutchinson side of this award because historically
01:14speaking, what is always one of these favorites, but he ends up with incomplete seasons and
01:18depending on what time that happens, it really does impact his ability to win this award.
01:23So these are two guys, very worthy of it.
01:26Something to monitor.
01:27If you didn't bet any of them yet, you're getting four plus odds on four to one right
01:31now.
01:32I mean, that's a great number for either of these guys.
01:33You can put a little on both and see which one grows and which one stays healthy, but
01:38it's worth noting already what a difference just two weeks can make and why we circled
01:43that number.
01:44And we said, this number is way too high.
01:46It's a great opportunity to get in and it's okay if you already made money on it and you're
01:50offered a cash out in the next couple of weeks because you don't have to see every wager
01:55to its end.
01:56You have to see every wager you can see into its profit.
02:00And I think that changing of the mindset is a great thing of how to go from kind of one
02:05of these people who bets on sports as a casual person to one who bets on it with a little
02:09bit more purpose, understands about the profit at the end of the day, you don't have to see
02:13every single bet to the end just to get there.
