Patrick Mahomes to win MVP
We did it separately and we ended up on the exact same page... I just think he is ready to remind everyone who he is.
Jihaad Campbell to win Defensive Rookie of the Year
Other than that would be my sleeper because I am there there's some magical potential of Johad Campbell in this Eagles
Trayvon Henderson to win Offensive Rookie of the Year
It's Trevion Henderson... I think that the Patriots rookie running back Travion Henderson could be the offensive Rookie of the Year.
Travis Hunter to win Defensive Rookie of the Year
I'm having him pull the Daily Double. Let's go Defensive Rookie of the Year. He wins him both.
Tristan Wirfs to win Protector of the Year
I know Tristan Wurfs is hurt to start the season, but I'm going to say he's going to come back and he's going to look so good by the end of the year... that he wins it
Penei Sewell to win Protector of the Year
I was looking at Piney Sewel. I really think that because of pine Sewel's like body of work that he's built up to this point, maybe the first one that they give is like Tobody, who's deserved it for a little while.
Myles Garrett to win Defensive Player of the Year
We believe in you, Miles Garrett, to be defensive player of the year.
Joe Flacco to win Comeback Player of the Year
He's not just a comeback player of the year.

Myles Garrett to win Defensive Player of the Year
Miles Garrett is awesome, and he's going to the hall of fame, and he might win defensive player of the year again this year.
Omarion Hampton to win Offensive Rookie of the Year
I don't think it's outrageous to go offensive rookie of the year... So I would say offensive Rookie of the Year would be on the table for sure.
Caleb Williams to win MVP
Caleb for MVP.
Micah Parsons to win Defensive Player of the Year
if you like Dallas, I think Parsons Defensive Player of the Year is a good way to invest in Dallas
Matthew Stafford to win MVP
Matt Stafford has been my first MVP bet for the season... And Stafford is a fifty to one MVP ticket is a ticket worth investing in for once.
