Entertainment only, but interesting.  Luke at 10-1, KK at 33-1, Star and TD at 100-1.  More represented than any other team.  I would love to know the Hardy odds since Manziel was on the MVP odds board.

You'd think Manziel's odds would be nill, since he's not going to any team anytime soon, but then again these are the same guys that had the Panthers as 3 point underdogs against the Cowboys last season. So anything goes.

^Vegas just wants to make money, some idiot will put money on it

Fwiw Hardy had 12-1 odds AFTER the incident with Holder (May) and kangaroo court (July) as this article (August) proves.  Even VEGAS was fooled with the hypocritical tomfoolery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  https://www.sportsinsights.com/blog/2014-nfl-defensive-player-year-odds/

So what are Hardy's odds when he signs with Carolina in June and breaks the NFL sack record in 4 games next year?

If one person put a penny on Hardy then Vegas made a penny. They weren't fooled. The fools were those who put down money.

Vegas may have made a penny, but possibly lost many pennies under that hypothesis from professional and even casual betters who saw a tilted board and avoided the board altogether.  Newton's third law of motion certainly applies to futures odds, as Hardy's spot on the board affected others, including eventual winner Watt.  Vegas DOES (usually) win in the end, but savvy bettors are constantly scouring the odds looking for value (which can be found for a variety of reasons), and the balance must constantly be kept while also trying to lure people in.

This is a basically a bet that Watt goes down with an injury before he plays work games. Anything less than that and "it just proves how valuable he is! " will fly high. 

If he doesn't play that well, it will all be about "He has changed the NFL works, (with the way team game plan against him)", "triple team" or even "quadruple team" proving he is still the winner.

Why does Star even have odds

Star will go from good to great if healthy knowing his contract is on the line.  He has the raw skills to wreck a game.  Needs luck getting the splash plays but he can stay fresh in our rotation now and may get one on one match ups just enough.  The 100-1 group is interesting and fascinating to me.

Star will not stand out on paper... But he will stand out on the field and you can bank on that... That's all that matters

Unfortunately for Luke, the award is Watt's to lose for the foreseeable future. 

The voters love him.

This. Star is a very good DT, but he's absolutely not the type of player who will ever be in the DPOY discussion. He's the guy in the DL who does the dirty work, he's not the guy who puts up the gaudy stats.
