Best bet: Vikings’ Justin Jefferson to lead NFL in receiving touchdowns

Analyzing the 2023 NFL odds for most receiving touchdowns, including an expert prediction and best bet.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

When speaking about the elite wide receivers in the NFL, there’s no doubt that Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson should be one of the first names mentioned. Since entering the NFL in 2020, Jefferson has been nothing but productive out wide, and he’s poised for another stellar campaign this season.

With the Vikings looking to be a pass-heavy team again, there is tremendous value in taking Jefferson to lead the NFL in receiving touchdowns this season.

Below, we look at the 2023 NFL receiving TDs leader odds at BetMGM Sportsbook and tab the best bet to make, adding to SportsbookWire.com’s expert NFL picks and predictions.

2023 NFL best bet: Most receiving TDs

WR Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings (+1200)

In each of Jefferson’s first 3 seasons in the NFL, he’s tallied at least 88 receptions, 1,400 receiving yards, and 7 receiving touchdowns for the Vikings. Just last season, he led the league in targets (184), receptions (128), and receiving yards (1,809).

While 8 receiving TDs was a solid output by Jefferson a season ago, he had 10 in 2021. And there’s reason to believe he can see an uptick in touchdowns this season.

The All-Pro wideout led the NFL in routes run in 2022 and in the red zone, Jefferson tied Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce for a league-best 19 targets inside the opponent’s 20-yard line, according to Pro Football Reference. The only problem is that Jefferson caught only 9 of those targets and 5 of them resulted in touchdowns.

After moving on from RB Dalvin Cook this offseason and having a pass-oriented offense under coach Kevin O’Connell, Jefferson should see plenty of scoring opportunities again this season.

Jefferson is arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL, and for him to have the 6th-best odds to lead the league in receiving touchdowns in an offense that has a path toward having the most pass attempts is peculiar.

BET JUSTIN JEFFERSON to record the MOST RECEIVING TOUCHDOWNS (+1200) this season.

Best bet: Chargers’ Justin Herbert to lead NFL in passing touchdowns

Analyzing the 2023 NFL odds for most passing touchdowns, including an expert prediction and best bet.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Chargers are a team seemingly on the rise entering the 2023 season, in large part due to QB Justin Herbert operating the offense. Herbert is entering his fourth season in the NFL and he’s one of the most exciting quarterbacks to watch every week.

Ahead of the 2023 campaign, the Chargers have done a great job surrounding Herbert with plenty of weapons in the passing game. With a deep arsenal and a new offensive coordinator in Kellen Moore, Herbert is a fantastic bet to lead the NFL in passing touchdowns this season.

Below, we look at the 2023 NFL passing TDs leader odds at BetMGM Sportsbook and tab the best bet to make, adding to SportsbookWire.com’s expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

2023 NFL best bet: Most passing TDs

QB Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers (+700)

Since entering the NFL in 2020, Herbert has been one of the most prolific passers due to his arm strength and accuracy. On the outside looking in, Herbert’s 2022 campaign was a disappointing one as he threw for 4,739 yards, but he finished with a career-worst 25 passing touchdowns.

Herbert’s metrics across the board were down in 2022 as he had only 4.5 air yards per completion (2nd lowest in the NFL) and 6.7 intended air yards per attempt (3rd lowest in the NFL).

The Chargers lost standout LT Rashawn Slater to an injury early in the 2022 season, which certainly didn’t help Herbert down the stretch. But on top of that, former offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi didn’t seem to maximize Herbert’s strengths.

Moore is now calling the shots on offense, and he’s known as a more aggressive play caller. Prescott had 30 touchdowns in 2019 and 37 touchdowns in 2021 with Moore as his offensive coordinator in Dallas.

Besides Moore, the Chargers have a talented wide receiver trio in WR Keenan Allen, WR Mike Williams, and rookie WR Quentin Johnston. Also, RB Austin Ekeler and TE Gerald Everett figure to have decent-sized roles in the aerial attack.

More explosive plays should aid Herbert in the passing touchdown department and the improved situation around him makes the Chargers QB a prime candidate to lead the NFL in passing touchdowns in 2023.

BET JUSTIN HERBERT to finish with the MOST PASSING TOUCHDOWNS (+700) in the upcoming season.

Value play: Bet Seahawks’ Devon Witherspoon to win NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year

Analyzing the 2023 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year odds, including an expert prediction and best bet.

The Seattle Seahawks are a team that many believe could make another jump in 2023 after making the playoffs in 2022. While the offense improved with QB Geno Smith under center, the Seahawks strengthened their secondary by taking CB Devon Witherspoon (Illinois) with the 5th overall pick in this year’s draft.

Ahead of the upcoming season, Seattle has the 13th-best odds to win the Super Bowl (+3000) and the 5th-best odds to win the NFC (+1200). On the other hand, the Seahawks have the 2nd-best odds to secure the NFC West crown (+200) — the San Francisco 49ers are the favorites at -165 odds.

With the Seahawks expected to compete in a wide-open NFC this season, taking Witherspoon to win the NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Year award (+900) has great value in 2023.

NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year best bet

CB Devon Witherspoon, Seattle Seahawks (+900)

When we’re looking for someone to wager on to win the NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Year award, we understandably want to focus on players that are going to be on the field often. In each of the last 5 years, the winner of the award has logged 76% or more of their team’s defensive snaps.

After getting stellar production from CB Tariq Woolen as a rookie in 2022, the Seahawks took Witherspoon in the 2023 draft to give them a young, exciting cornerback duo for years to come. Witherspoon should start immediately and the Illinois product could see plenty of opportunities to make plays on the ball in his 1st NFL season.

Witherspoon is coming off a 2022 campaign with Illinois where he registered 14 pass breakups and 3 interceptions. With teams around the NFL throwing more than ever, the rookie cornerback will certainly have chances to force turnovers for the Seahawks.

Pass rushers may be viewed as the favorites to win the award, but cornerbacks have received some love in recent years. Since 2015, there have been 3 cornerbacks to win Defensive Rookie of the Year — Kansas City’s Marcus Peters won in 2015, New Orleans’ Marshon Lattimore in 2017 and New York Jets’ Sauce Gardner last season.

BET DEVON WITHERSPOON to win NFL DEFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR (+900) in 2023.

Value play: Bet Panthers’ Brian Burns to win NFL Defensive Player of the Year

Analyzing the 2023 NFL Defensive Player of the Year odds, including an expert prediction and best bet.

The Carolina Panthers are going to be a new-look team in 2023 after overhauling their coaching staff and taking QB Bryce Young with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. On the defensive side of the ball, OLB Brian Burns continues to develop into one of the league’s premier edge rushers for the Panthers.

There aren’t lofty expectations for the Panthers in 2023 as they are tied for the 4th-worst odds to win the Super Bowl (+8000). Meanwhile, they have the 3rd-worst odds to win the NFC (+3300) and have the 2nd-worst odds to secure the NFC South crown (+375).

We’ve seen defensive players on middling teams win the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award before. So, even with Carolina expected to be a below-average team this season, Burns is a fantastic value for the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award (+2000) in 2023.

NFL Defensive Player of the Year best bet

LB Brian Burns, Carolina Panthers (+2000)

With the NFL becoming a pass-oriented league, pass rushers have become a popular choice for the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award. An outside linebacker or defensive end has taken home the hardware in 6 of the last 11 seasons, including each of the last 2.

Burns, who was the 16th overall selection by the Panthers in the 2019 NFL Draft out of Florida State, has gradually improved his production in each of his first 4 seasons. After notching back-to-back 9-sack seasons in 2020 and 2021, Burns registered career-best marks in sacks (12.5), tackles for loss (17), and quarterback hits (22) in 2022.

The former Seminole will be playing on his 5th-year option this season, and the 25-year-old is set to get an expensive contract soon, whether it be from the Panthers or another team. The Panthers likely will play from behind in a majority of their games this season, which should give Burns more pass-rushing opportunities under new defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero.

Last season. Nick Bosa won the Defensive Player of the Year award with a league-best 18.5 sacks, and Watt tallied 22.5 sacks to win the prestigious award in 2021.

If Burns can continue improving his production in the pass-rushing department in 2023, he could be a dark-horse pick to win the league’s Defensive Player of the Year award.

BET BRIAN BURNS to win NFL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR (+2000) in 2023.

Value play: Bet Vikings’ Jordan Addison to win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year

Analyzing the 2023 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds, including an expert prediction and best bet.

The Minnesota Vikings entered the 2023 NFL Draft with a handful of needs and they elected to address the offense in the 1st round. With the 23rd overall pick, the Vikings took WR Jordan Addison out of USC in hopes to bolster their wide receiver room around WR Justin Jefferson.

The Vikings are tied for the 16th-best odds to win the Super Bowl (+5000), the 7th-best odds to win the NFC (+1800), and the 2nd-best odds to win the NFC North (+300) — the Detroit Lions are the favorites at +140.

There isn’t much value in taking the Vikings at those odds, but there is value in taking Addison to win the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year award (+1600) in 2023.

NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year best bet

WR Jordan Addison, Minnesota Vikings (+1600)

Many people are understandably predicting Robinson to win the NFL’s Rookie of the Year award in 2023. The Texas Longhorns running back was selected by the Falcons with the 8th overall pick. He enters an offense that is centered around utilizing its running backs.

Quarterbacks are typically favored to win this award due to it being the most important position in football. However, wide receivers have taken home the past 2 trophies: Jets WR Garrett Wilson last season and Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase the year before.

For Addison, there is a path for him to have an extremely productive rookie season for the Vikings. Minnesota recently released RB Dalvin Cook, which means 199 combined targets from a season ago are now vacated with WR Adam Thielen and TE Irv Smith Jr. also departing in free agency.

More specifically, Addison is expected to assume the No. 2 role at wide receiver alongside Jefferson. Even though he didn’t have a stellar season in 2022, Thielen ran the 2nd-most routes in the NFL (619), putting him only behind Jefferson (per the33rdteam.com).

The Vikings threw the ball 672 times last season — 3rd-most in the NFL — and their passing volume shouldn’t change much in 2023. The release of Cook should lead to more passing opportunities. Plus, they parted ways with LB Za’Darius Smith, DT Dalvin Tomlinson and LB Eric Kendricks on the defensive side of the ball.

The Vikings could be a pass-centric team again this season with QB Kirk Cousins entering a contract year. Addison could reap the benefits despite Jefferson arguably being the best wideout in the NFL.

BET JORDAN ADDISON to win NFL OFFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR (+1600) in 2023.

Value play: Bet Bengals’ Ja’Marr Chase to win NFL Offensive Player of the Year

Analyzing the 2023 NFL Offensive Player of the the Year odds, including an expert prediction and best bet.

The Cincinnati Bengals understandably are receiving a decent amount of hype ahead of the 2023 NFL season. Besides having one of the premier quarterbacks Joe Burrow, the Bengals have one of the most skilled playmakers in the league in WR Ja’Marr Chase.

When speaking about contenders in the NFL, the Bengals have the 4th-best odds (+900) to win the Super Bowl — behind the Kansas City Chiefs (+650), the Philadelphia Eagles (+700) and the Buffalo Bills (+800). Cincinnati is favored to win the AFC North (+120) and Burrow is tied with QB Patrick Mahomes for the best odds (+650) to win the NFL MVP award.

Barring health, the Bengals should be one of the better teams in the NFL in the upcoming season. With Cincinnati a Super Bowl contender, betting on Chase to secure the NFL’s Offensive Player of the Year award (+1200) has solid value.

NFL Offensive Player of the Year best bet

WR Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals (+1200)

Since being selected by the Bengals with the 5th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft out of LSU, Chase has quickly become one of the league’s best wide receivers. In each of his first 2 seasons in Cincinnati, Chase has eclipsed 80-plus receptions, 1,045-plus receiving yards and 9-plus receiving touchdowns despite missing 5 games in 2022.

After commanding 128 targets as a rookie in 2021, the talented wideout would record 134 targets last season. Chase is the clear go-to target for Burrow, and if he played all 17 games, he was on pace for 190 targets in 2022.

The LSU product logged 10 or more targets in 9 of his 12 games last season despite playing alongside WRs Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd. The Bengals tallied the 7th-most passing attempts (610) in 2022 and they could throw even more in 2023.

It was Jefferson who won the NFL’s OPOY award a season ago for the Vikings with 128 receptions, 1,809 yards and 8 touchdowns on 184 targets. Assuming that Chase remains healthy, we could see a potentially historic campaign from him in 2023 as he remains Burrow’s No. 1 option.

BET JA’MARR CHASE to win NFL OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR (+1200).

Value play: Bet Ravens’ Lamar Jackson to win NFL MVP

Analyzing the 2023 NFL MVP award odds, including an expert prediction and best bet.

The Baltimore Ravens were able to ink a long-term deal with QB Lamar Jackson this offseason, making him one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL. Upon signing Jackson to a multi-year contract, the Ravens are understandably considered a Super Bowl contender in the AFC.

The Ravens are currently tied for the 8th-best odds to win the Super Bowl (+1800), the 5th-best odds to win the AFC (+1000) and the 2nd-best odds to secure the AFC North crown (+240) — The Cincinnati Bengals (+120) are the division favorites.

While wagering on the Ravens to have success as a team in 2023 is a solid bet, wagering on Jackson to win the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award (+1600) has fantastic value.

2023 NFL MVP best bet

QB Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens (+1600)

There are currently 8 quarterbacks with better odds than Jackson to win MVP — Dallas’ Prescott has the same +1600 odds as Jackson to take home the hardware after the season.

Baltimore’s dual-threat quarterback won his first NFL MVP in 2019 by throwing for 3,127 yards and an NFL season-best 36 touchdowns. He also rushed for 1,206 yards and another 7 TDs.

After missing 4-plus games in each of the last 2 seasons, Jackson has a new offensive coordinator in Todd Monken in 2023. Under previous offensive coordinator Greg Roman, the Ravens became a predictable pistol-heavy offense that limited the passing ceiling of Jackson.

However, with Monken calling the shots, Jackson should make strides as a passer in the upcoming season. Monken was the offensive coordinator at Georgia from 2020-22, winning national championships the last 2 years. He has previous NFL experience with the Buccaneers, Browns and Jaguars.

Besides bringing in a new offensive coordinator that should push Jackson’s game even further, the Ravens also improved their wide receiver room this offseason. They signed veteran WR Odell Beckham Jr. in free agency and took Boston College WR Zay Flowers in the 1st round of the 2023 NFL Draft to pair with WR Rashod Bateman and TE Mark Andrews.

In Monken’s offensive scheme, Jackson could be asked to run a bit less to avoid any chance of him taking unnecessary hits. That being said, he could certainly set career-best marks across the board in the passing department, and it’s not like he won’t still produce solid rushing numbers.

The quarterback position is a popular choice for the NFL MVP award, and other premier signal-callers are receiving more buzz than Jackson. Given his dual-threat ability and the fact that he’s getting overlooked by many, Jackson is a great value to win the league’s prestigious award in 2023.

BET LAMAR JACKSON to win NFL MVP (+1600) in 2023.
