NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year - Bodog Odds

As the 2008 NFL season keeps getting closer, it’s time to start thinking about who’s going to win the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award. Will a dark horse candidate sneak in the back door, or will it predictably be a first round selection? There are plenty of intriguing candidates, and Bodog’s sports book has you covered when it comes to making a wager.

ROOKIES OF THE YEAR - LAST 10 YEARS

For the sake of comparison, let’s take a look at the players chosen as NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year for the past decade.

1998 - Randy Moss - WR - Vikings

1999 - Edgerrin James - RB - Colts

2000 - Mike Anderson - RB - Broncos

2001 - Anthony Thomas - RB - Bears

2002 - Clinton Portis - RB - Broncos

2003 - Anquan Boldin - WR - Cardinals

2004 - Ben Roethlisberger - QB - Steelers

2005 - Cadillac Williams - RB - Buccaneers

2006 - Vince Young - QB - Titans

2007 - Adrian Peterson - RB - Vikings

For those of you keeping score, that’s 2 quarterbacks, 6 running backs and 2 wide receivers over the last 10 years. Since it normally takes receivers and quarterbacks a few more years to adjust to the pro level, that’s why running backs tend to dominate this award.

So who will it be this year? Let’s take a look at the current odds being offered by Bodog. The maximum bet is $100, although you can bet the limit on multiple players.
