From an article by Shel Kapadia in The Athletic (subscription required) about the ten "best bets" for the upcoming NFL season...

______________________

10. Brian Burns to win Defensive Player of the Year (+12500, or 125-1)
This is one where I had to look up the odds about 12 different times to make sure I wasn’t missing something. There are currently 47(!) players with better odds for this award. Has no one watched Brian Burns play football?

He had 7.5 sacks and 16 QB hits as a rookie before bumping up to nine sacks and 21 QB hits last year. That was on a defense that couldn’t cover anyone. The advanced stats love Burns. ESPN tracks pass rush win rate, which measures how often a defender produces pressure within 2.5 seconds of the snap. Burns ranked fourth among edge defenders last year, ahead of guys like Joey Bosa and Chase Young. The film is impressive too. Burns has elite athleticism and an impressive arsenal of pass-rush moves.

At 23 years old, he’s primed for a monster season and could easily lead the league in sacks. Should Donald win Defensive Player of the Year every season? Probably. But if he doesn’t, Burns at these odds is the best bet.

If we find someone on the other side that can make things difficult for the QB I see no reason why he couldn't win the DPOY.  Burns is a beast.

      Seahawks or Rams

      I was playing around with the ESPN playoff predictor and it shows if 49ers and Rams finish with same record, the Rams hold the tiebreaker.

      This is my thinking as well. Seattle played as good as they could on defense and Panthers still had a chance until those back to back turnovers.  I don't think the Rams played particularly well in their game against us, alot things went our way in order to win.  Someone pointed out the Rams were bad on the east coast road games and Seattle has been the better road team but they just fought a hard contested game against the Panthers, and now they travel to San Fran this week for their biggest game of the season to determine the division and if they are the overall #1 seed in the NFC or will be traveling for the Wildcard weekend.  If they lose they then travel back cross the country to play a team they've just beaten two weeks ago, not saying they won't be favored against the Panthers but the energy of hosting our first playoff game in 10 years along with the get back effect of having just lost to this team could be huge.

      I don’t know about shadowing and all that, but according to this, whatever we are doing is working
