Micah Parsons is a special talent. He was a Pro Bowler, All-Pro, Defensive Rookie of Year, and the runner-up to the Defensive Player of the Year. He finished his rookie season with 13 sacks, 84 tackles, and 20 tackles for a loss.
It's hard to express just how great Parsons was as a rookie. Now, in year two, it looks like he has somehow gotten even better. Before he steps on the field tonight in Week 3, let's take a look at the NFL Defensive Player of the Year odds.

Micah Parsons +250 (Bet $100 to win $250)
Micah Parsons is the heavy favorite to take home the defensive rookie of the year odds. Through the first two games, he has four sacks, seven quarterback hits, and eight pressures to his name so far.
Parson's is on pace for 34 sacks on the season which would smash the all-time record that is 22.5 set by Michael Strahan in 2001.
When looking at Micah Parson's matchup tonight, he is going against a struggling offensive line. Andrew Thomas has been downright phenomenal at left tackle but beyond that, the rest of the line has been brutal.
Myles Garrett +500 (Bet $100 to win $500)
Myles Garrett has yet to win a Defensive Player of the Year award despite being an All-Pro twice and a three-time Pro Bowler. He's gone over double-digit sacks for four straight years and is on a one-sack per game pace through his first three games.
If Parsons doesn't win it this year, it feels like Garrett has the next best shot. The Cleveland Browns' defense is pretty solid and he has a better edge rusher on the other side of him to steal attention from on the defensive line.
