Jayden Daniels NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Bets on Favorite Washington Commanders

It’s the relentless pace of unforgettable drama and excitement that makes NFL Sundays a unique experience.

Week 8 delivered one of the best Sundays we’ve had all season.

Nothing was better than the end in Washington.

For a while, it looked like an injury to Jayden Daniels could rob us of a long-awaited showdown between the top two picks in the 2024 NFL Draft.

However, Daniels was able to play through the injury on Sunday and cemented his status as the favorite to win the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year with another brilliant performance in an epic comeback victory.

This is the Morning Coffee of Monday, October 28, 2024.

Daniels a clear favorite for NFL offensive rookie of the year after epic comeback

The Chicago Bears were 25 seconds away from clinching a key road victory after Roschon Johnson made the go-ahead goal in the final minute on Sunday.

The Bears were on the verge of improving to 5-2 on the season.

With games against the Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots on the horizon, it might have been the win that led to a playoff for Chicago.

Only Daniels and the Commanders had a different storyline in mind.

With no time left on the clock, Daniels threw a 52-yard Hail Mary pass toward the end zone that was tipped and caught by Noah Brown for the winning touchdown.

It was the sixth-longest game-winning touchdown without any time in regulation since the 1970 merger.

Daniels, who held the ball for nearly 13 seconds before firing it downfield for the winner, threw for 326 yards and a touchdown, adding 52 rushing yards on eight carries in the win.

Washington improved to 6-2 this season – a half-game behind the Detroit Lions for the best record in the NFC.

The Commanders are -290 to make the playoffs.

Washington is +140 to win the NFC East as the second pick behind the Philadelphia Eagles at -120.

We also saw a big move in FanDuel’s NFL Offensive Player of the Year market.

Daniels who won NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year moved from -115 to -450 at FanDuel.

Williams winning the OROY rose from +100 to +1000.

Daniels has emerged as a clear favorite to win the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year at the midway point.

As long as he can stay healthy and continue to perform at the level he has thus far, it would be a surprise if anyone else wins the award this season.

A FanDuel best bet for Monday Night Football

The Commanders have been one of the biggest surprises in the NFL this season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are also in that conversation.

The Steelers have the best record in the AFC North at 5-2.

Pittsburgh has an excellent opportunity to build on that success as a 5.5-point favorite against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football.

Interestingly enough, the Steelers are 0-9 against the spread in their last nine games while putting up at least four points.

On the other hand, Daniel Jones is 1-14 straight and 6-9 against the spread in NFL primetime games.

Something has to be done on Monday Night Football.

As for my FanDuel Best Bet, I’m going with a Same Game Parlay with George Pickens 40+ receiving yards and Wan’Dale Robinson 4+ receptions at -120 odds.

Pickens is 5-for-7 for 40 or more receiving yards this season.

He is also coming off a season-high 111 receiving yards and a touchdown on five receptions in Wilson’s first start.

No. 1 wide receivers have put up big numbers against the Giants this season and I expect that to continue tonight.

Meanwhile, Robinson has been a goal machine for the Giants with eight or more goals in every game except one this season.

He is averaging 5.7 receptions on 9.7 targets over his past three games.

He has also recorded five or more receptions in five consecutive games.

The Giants are a 5.5-point underdog, so they could be playing from behind in the second half.

I’m pinning a FanDuel Best Bet with Pickens 40+ receiving yards and Robinson 4+ receptions at -120 as my FanDuel Best Bet for Monday Night Football.
