Then Giannis +650, JJJr +1100 then Bridges. Just behind Bridges is Evan Mobley and Embiid, both at +2200.
Might be right about the talking heads. They usually don't talk about DPOY with any sort of seriousness until later in the season so might be worth putting down a few bucks
To be fair, I don't think the odds are wrong. he doesn't have the notoriety on that end that those other guys have, and at the end of the day it is partly a popularity contest.
Also remember if you are talking Vegas or gambling odds these are purely based on how much money comes from bets and Bridges I think is really under the radar with the public compared to names like Gobert and Green who I think have both won.
It really has nothing to do with predicting anything, outside of what the odds open as at the beginning of the season, but those adjust constantly as bets come in.
Yup.
Plus Vegas knows this award has pretty much exclusively gone to big men.
KOC had a good discussion about this on a pod earlier this year. How it's impossible and not really fair to compare point of attack defenders like Bridges with back line defensive anchors like Gobert. Both are extremely valuable but do completely different things on the court. It's truly and apples and oranges comp. For a good defensive team you need both.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.
