Broncos OLB Von Miller has 7th-best odds to win Defensive Player of the Year

Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller has the seventh-best odds (18/1) to win Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2020.

Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller has won Defensive Rookie of the Year honors (2011), eight Pro Bowl nods (2011, 2012, 2014–2019), seven AP first- or second-team All-Pro honors (2011-2012, 2014-2018) and a Super Bowl MVP award (Super Bowl 50, 2016).

Miller is the Broncos’ all-time leader in sacks and he was named to the NFL’s 2010s All-Decade Team this week. Despite all his accolades, Miller is yet to win a coveted award: Defensive Player of the Year.

Could that change in 2020? Miller has the seventh-best odds to win DPOY this season, according to the oddsmakers at BetMGM. Here’s a look at the ten favorites for the award:

Player Odds
1. A. Donald +750
2. K. Mack +1000
3. N. Bosa +1300
T-4. Gilmore +1500
T-4. TJ Watt +1500
6. JJ Watt +1700
7. V. Miller +1800
8. D. James +2000
T-9. B. Wagner +2300
T-9. D. Hunter +2300

With 18/1 odds, a $100 bet on Miller would win $1,800 if Miller claims the award this season. Gilmore (’19), Donald (’17-’18), Mack (’16) and JJ Watt (2012, ’14-’15) have won seven of the last eight DPOY awards.
