<span style="font-weight: 400;">With only one week remaining of regular season play, the favorites to take home the NFL's end of year awards are taking shape. And if you haven't yet placed your </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">online betting</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> picks yet, don’t delay. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">There is value to be had if you know where to look. And now you will.</span>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">NFL MVP</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Just a week ago, this was Patrick Mahomes' award to lose. But it seems that the Chiefs' lackluster performance against the Falcons in Week 16 might have lost it for him. At least according to <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betus/">BetUS </a></span><a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betus/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">sportsbook</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> odds. Although, Aaron Rodgers' domination in the snow later that Sunday deserves credit for the odds switching so heavily as well. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/betus/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-699013" src="http://bangthebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/betus.gif" alt="betus" width="300" height="250" /></a>The updated MVP odds are:</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">
</span>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aaron Rodgers (-500)</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Patrick Mahomes (+300)</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Josh Allen (+900)</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Derrick Henry (+7500)</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Davante Adams (+10000)</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Russell Wilson (+10000)</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ryan Tannehill (+10000)</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">With word from Chiefs head coach Andy Reid that he plans to rest Mahomes in their Week 17 game against the Chargers, his numbers are baked in. But Rodgers is still playing for the NFC's home-field advantage, and the Bills are playing for the AFC's No. 2 seed.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Could those two quarterbacks change places? Not likely. Any bet now on someone other than Rodgers is a Hail Mary.</span>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Defensive Player of the Year</span></h2>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">TJ Watt (-275)</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aaron Donald (+200)</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Xavien Howard (+900)</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">This is a three-man race that is going to come down to which player has the biggest influence on their team's Week 17 performance.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">T.J. Watt has been spectacular this season, and he came up huge in Pittsburgh's big Week 16 win over the Colts. He had two sacks on Sunday to take his NFL-leading total to 15.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Aaron Donald is playing for his playoff life in the Rams' game against Arizona. If he can have a big day against Kyler Murray, he could play himself into a third career DPOY award.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">If you prefer to make an </span><a href="https://www.betus.com.pa/sportsbook/nfl_defensive_specials-nfl_defensive_specials_2020~2021-football_lines.aspx"><span style="font-weight: 400;">online wager</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that comes with a bigger payoff, Xavien Howard still has a chance to win. He leads the NFL with nine interceptions, and the Dolphins have an important game on Sunday against the Bills.</span>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">NFL Coach of the Year</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">There are several good candidates for NFL Coach of the Year, and this race will definitely come down to the final week. The favorites are:</span>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Brian Flores (+170)</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sean McDermott (+220)</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kevin Stefanski (+450)</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ron Rivera (+750)</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Andy Reid (+1000)</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Flores in Miami has taken a little criticism for how he's handled the team's quarterback situation. First, he benched Ryan Fitzpatrick after a win. Then he benched Tua Tagovailoa mid-game twice. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">But through it all, the Dolphins have 10 wins and are on the verge of a playoff berth. Bringing Fitzmagic in last week to bring the team back and win their game could also be seen as a stroke of genius that paid off heavily. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Sean McDermott was a playoff coach a season ago, so it's not surprising that the Bills are once again at the top. But they won the AFC East with authority, and that carries with it some obvious votes for Coach of the Year.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Two other coaches looking to get into the postseason field on Sunday are Kevin Stefanski in Cleveland and Ron Rivera in Washington, and both deserve Coach of the Year consideration. Rivera also coached the first half of the season while undergoing chemotherapy for skin cancer.</span>

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.

The National Football League (NFL) is easily the most popular sport in the United States, especially when it comes to betting. NFL betting puts up the biggest numbers every single year, and bettors are always looking for new betting options.

The NFL was founded all the way back in 1920 in Canton, Ohio, and that is where the Hall of Fame is located to this day. There were only a handful of teams in the league when it first started, but it didn’t take long for the league to grow.

There are now 32 teams in the NFL, and the league is broken up into two conferences and eight total divisions. Since the league just continues to be more and more popular, the league has added an extra regular season game for each team to play in.

NFL teams now play 17 total regular season games, and then the top seven teams in each conference advance to the postseason. The NFL regular season begins in September, and the Super Bowl is now played during the month of February.

When it comes to the NFL, the Super Bowl is the event that draws the most betting attention. This league isn’t going away anytime soon, and it’s actually started to become more of an international competition.

This article will not only cover the best NFL betting sites &amp; sportsbooks, but will also provide some tips on how to bet on the NFL.
