NFL betting lines can be found for the awards that will be handed out at the end of the season, and here is a look at who we think will take the hardware home this year. MVP: Tom Brady, New England Brady leads the league in passer rating, posting 36 touchdowns and only four picks (the last time he was picked off was Week 6). The Patriots lost Randy Moss, and improved their offense, and that’s all on Brady, who could get his fourth Super Bowl ring. Coach Of The Year: Todd Haley, Kansas City Haley led the Chiefs to a six-game turnaround and their first AFC West title since 2003, but we’ll really get to see what kind of coach he is next year, as offensive coordinator Charlie Weis jumped ship to Florida in the college ranks. Offensive Rookie: Sam Bradford, St. Louis The No.1 pick shone for most of the season, and all without not much help at receiver. At first glance, his numbers aren’t that great (20th in completion percentage, 25th in rating), but when you look at the talent surrounding him, did you ever think online football betting odds would have given the Rams a chance to make the playoffs, as they almost did? Defensive Rookie: Ndamokung Suh, Detroit Suh would probably win if there was just one rookie award, as he finished with 10 sacks, along with 49 tackles, and he demands a double team on every snap. Suh has also improved the Lions’ front four to the point where they are almost fearsome, and we’re looking at the best defensive lineman to come to the league in a long time. Offensive Player: Tom Brady, New England Did you not listen to the numbers? Well, how about this: Brady has set the NFL record for consecutive passes without a pick with 335. The Patriots also lead the league in points scored, and isn’t that the point of any good offense? Defensive Player: Troy Polamalu, Pittsburgh This could be the toughest NFL pick to make, as Baltimore’s Ed Reed has eight picks despite missing the first six weeks. But Polamalu has one fewer pick, and he’s better than his AFC North rival when it comes to supporting the run and blitzing. Without him, the Steelers are a great defense. With Polamalu, the Steelers are the best defense in the league. Comeback Player: Michael Vick, Philadelphia The only other player you could give this to is New England’s Wes Welker, who came back from a knee injury last year. But Vick came back from prison, and he’s a better quarterback then he was when he first broke into the league when it comes to being a prototypical pivot. The thing is, he can still hurt you with his legs, and he’s more of a leader now. Because of him, Philadelphia is a serious contender in your online sportsbook.
