As the annual NFL awards rolled in on Thursday night, our betting experts were counting their winnings.
From a 250-1 longshot on Joe Flacco winning Comeback Player of the Year to a near-miss by a matter of votes on Coach of the Year, here's our NFL awards recap from a betting perspective.
NFL Awards Winners: Odds, Results
Offensive Rookie of the Year: CJ Stroud (+800)
As the season wore on, it became increasingly obvious Stroud would take home this hardware, as he even started to creep up the odds board for MVP at one point.
Defensive Rookie of the Year: Will Anderson (+500)
This was the first of several big cashes for our guy Brandon Anderson.

Coach of the Year: Kevin Stefanski (+4000)
Stefanski was tied for the fourth worst odds to win Coach of the Year before the season started; in fact, his odds to be the first coach fired this year were significantly shorter.
While we congratulate Stefanski on the award, he beat out DeMeco Ryans by the sheer fact that Stefanski had one more first-place vote. Otherwise, Brandon Anderson and several other of our experts would have cashed a bet on Ryans to win at +2200.
Defensive Player of the Year: Myles Garrett (+700)

Comeback Player of the Year: Joe Flacco (+25000)
Damar Hamlin getting back on the field was truly impressive, but Flacco leading the Browns to the postseason earned him this award, as Brandon Anderson cashed another one.

Flacco's five games played is the fewest ever by a Comeback Player of the Year award winner, according to our Evan Abrams.
