Football Predictions On Rookie Of The Year And More

As the preseason winds down, and the NFL regular season is about to begin, many are looking far into the future of football and making their predictions based on current performances. This is where the experts at NFL.com have come up with their very own predictions for three of the biggest awards that are given out at the end of each season. These three include: MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, and the Rookies of the Year. Here is what the experts have predicted:

NFL.com Expert	MVP	Defensive Player of the Year	Rookies of the Year
Gregg Rosenthal	Aaron Rodgers	J.J. Watt	Marcus Mariota Stephone Anthony
Kevin Patra	Andrew Luck	J.J. Watt	Amari Cooper Randy Gregory
Conor Orr	Andrew Luck	Justin Houston	Jameis Winston Shane Ray
Chris Wesseling	Andrew Luck	J.J. Watt	Ameer Abdullah Vic Beasley
Dan Hanzus	Ben Roethlisberger	J.J. Watt	Devin Funchess Leonard Williams
Marc Sessler	Andrew Luck	J.J. Watt	Amari Cooper Danny Shelton

It would seem that most of these sports analysts are placing a high value on certain players, like J.J. Watt and Andrew Luck, while they are having a much harder time agreeing on which Rookie’s will get the award. The main reason it is hard to know which Rookie will have a better season is due to the fact that they have no previous experience in pro football, and have to base it all on their current performances during the Preseason and their training camps.

For players that are already familiar with the NFL and have had longer careers in the sport, it is much easier to know from their previous season performance, as well as how good they are doing in the Preseason. Although, I wouldn’t put much stock into how a team or player is doing during the preseason, as it is basically friendly games between teams, another way to practice through experience.

Once the season starts, be sure to check on your favorite sportsbooks to see how good or bad the odds are for some of these players in the football futures. It may be worth placing a small bet that could pay off once the season ends.
