New Comeback Player of the Year guidelines could frustrate some gamblers
Our Summary
The Associated Press has updated the guidelines for the Comeback Player of the Year Award, focusing on players who have overcome illness, injury, or other circumstances that led to missed playing time. This change eliminates considerations like coming back from a backup position. The shift was influenced by past winners and may impact betting odds. Players like Russell Wilson and Justin Fields may be affected by the new criteria. Betting on players who didn't miss time due to injury or illness carries risks with the subjective nature of the award. The change aims to address specific issues but could lead to unintended consequences.
