Myles Garrett became the first Cleveland Brown to win NFL DPOY when he took home the award for the 2023-24 NFL season. However, Garrett winning the award was far from obvious, as he was neck-and-neck with both Micah Parsons and TJ Watt for most of the season, with Parsons often being seen as the favorite.

We tracked the 2023-24 NFL DPOY odds from the time they opened right through to the award being handed out on February 8, 2024. We average the odds from multiple sportsbooks and track the movement, removing the influence of money and providing you with each defender’s true odds of winning the award.

NFL DPOY Odds for Top Contenders

Top 5 Top 10 All

Four players opened in a tier of their own when it comes to NFL DPOY odds: Myles Garrett, arguably the best athlete in the league; Micah Parsons, the NFL DROY two years ago and heavy favorite for NFL DPOY most of the previous season; Nick Bosa, who was the previous year’s NFL DPOY; and TJ Watt, the NFL DPOY two seasons prior. Bosa pretty quickly fell back into a second tier once the season kicked off, though.

Micah Parsons had been the lone favorite since June, but after Week 10, Myles Garrett took over as the new favorite. Garrett only remained the favorite for a couple weeks before Parsons took back over. After Week 16, Garrett was back atop the board, though.

Myles Garrett, Micah Parsons, TJ Watt, Maxx Crosby, and DaRon Bland were named the finalists for the NFL DPOY.

**No sportsbooks reopened their NFL DPOY odds after the conclusion of the NFL regular season.

Myles Garrett had the best odds to win NFL DPOY at -200 when they were last available. Based on those odds, Garrett had a 66.7% chance to win the award, and as we know, he did go on to win DPOY.

Here are some notes on the 2023-24 NFL DPOY odds movement:

• [February 8] Myles Garrett was named the 2023-24 NFL Defensive Player of the Year
• [January 25] There were no major surprises in the NFL DPOY finalists announced today, as Myles Garrett, Micah Parsons, TJ Watt, Maxx Crosby, and DaRon Bland were selected from the group.
• [December 26] Myles Garrett has taken back over as the favorite at the majority of online sportsbooks after Week 16. Some betting apps do still list Parsons as the favorite, though.
• [December 3] Micah Parsons has taken back over as the DPOY favorite after Week 13. This isn’t the result of Parsons or the Cowboys defense doing anything spectacular, rather Myles Garrett and the Browns defense giving up 65 points to over the last two weeks – making matters worse, neither of the Broncos or Rams offenses were really seen as powerhouses entering their games with Cleveland either.
• [November 28] DaRon Bland set a new NFL record with his fifth pick-six of the season in Week 12. Bland’s NFL DPOY odds were +7500 entering the week, making him a distant afterthought, but he has emerged with +1600 odds, the fourth-best on the board.
• [November 21] In a game where Cleveland started a rookie quarterback who they clearly did not trust to throw the ball downfield, the Browns were basically asking their defense to beat the Steelers in Week 11. Myles Garrett showed up with two sacks and led the Browns to another win. Garrett’s DPOY odds improved from +140 to +110 as he nears even money to win the award.
• [November 12] Myles Garrett recorded another 1.5 sacks in Week 10, helping the Browns upset the Ravens. Garrett’s dominance led to him taking over as the new favorite to win NFL DPOY. It’s the first time this season where Micah Parsons has not at least been tied for the best odds.
• [October 9] Micah Parsons remains the DPOY favorite in spite of his Cowboys defense getting torched by the 49ers in Week 5. TJ Watt and Myles Garrett are close behind and the three defenders have really separated themselves from the pack at this point.
• [September 18] Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner has seen his NFL DPOY odds start to fade alongside the Jets’ Super Bowl hopes. Gardner had the fifth-best odds entering Week 2, but has come out of it at a distant +3500. Fellow Jet Quinnen Williams is also seeing his odds start to fade.
• [September 5] Ahead of NFL kickoff, Micah Parsons has seen his odds continue to improve, now landing at +450 as the clear favorite to win NFL DPOY. Brian Burns, whose Week 1 status is up in the air at this time due to a contract dispute he is engaged in with the Panthers, has seen his odds fade a little from +3000 to +3500.
• [June 2] Micah Parsons has broken away as the lone favorite to win NFL DPOY, as his odds shortened from +750 to +650.
• [March 6] Micah Parsons and Myles Garrett opened as the favorites to win the 2023-24 NFL Defensive Player of the Year award. Both players opened with +750 odds. Last year’s NFL DPOY, Nick Bosa, opened with +1000 odds, good for fourth-best on the board.
