Please rewrite your question or provide more context for me to understand what you need to be rewritten.

Aidan Hutchinson’s arrival has filled the Detroit Lions’ defense with excitement.

In the upcoming 2024 NFL Season, the former Michigan Wolverine, who was selected as the second overall pick, is anticipated to significantly enhance the team’s performance.

Are Michigan sports bettors expected to do the same for Hutchinson, as the oddsmakers at Michigan online sportsbooks are?

Aidan Hutchinson Rookie of the Year Odds

Although the Detroit Lions’ odds for this season may not be particularly optimistic, Hutchinson’s odds for the season are quite promising.

Hutchinson is considered, at the very least, one of the top contenders for the title of NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Michigan sportsbooks have identified Kayvon Thibodeaux from the New York Giants as another top contender. These rush ends possess the ability to swiftly influence the outcome of a game.

If Hutchinson manages to secure the DROY title, he will undoubtedly become a strong contender for Defensive Player of the Year. Additionally, his success would most likely position him as a top contender for the title of NFL sack leader.

Hutchinson’s NFL futures odds are relatively higher in those two markets, but they offer a potential for greater value to bettors who are willing to take a risk.

Based on BetMGM Michigan, Hutchinson is clearly the favored choice for DROY as he has garnered an impressive 49% of the tickets and 46.5% of the handle in the market. Consequently, he poses the highest risk for BetMGM at the moment.

In addition, Hutchinson will receive 4.5% of the Defensive Player of the Year tickets and 3.9% of the handle.

Aidan Hutchinson Sack Total Odds

The Lions require a significant boost to their pass rush.

During the 2021 NFL season, the Lions’ defense managed to accumulate a mere 30 total sacks, placing them among the two teams with the lowest sack count.

By selecting Hutchinson as the No. 2 overall pick, Detroit demonstrated their commitment to prioritizing improvement in that area.

During his last season with Michigan, Hutchinson accumulated 14 sacks and made 62 tackles for the Wolverines.

Thanks to his remarkable contributions, Michigan secured a Big Ten championship, and Hutchinson’s exceptional performance led him to become a finalist for the prestigious Heisman Trophy.

In 2024, the Lions have high expectations for a similar performance. While oddsmakers anticipate their rookie to be productive, they predict that he will fall just short of reaching double-digit sacks.

For the 2024 season, Hutchinson has been assigned an over/under for his number of sacks.

In contrast, Charles Harris emerged as the sack leader for Detroit last season, accumulating a total of 7.5 sacks.

Hutchinson makes splash in debut

Aidan Hutchinson wasted no time in thrilling Detroit fans with his remarkable on-field performance.

During Friday’s preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons, Hutchinson successfully executed tackles on his first two plays.

He successfully executed a tackle for loss on the second play by effortlessly breaking through the line and engulfing Falcons running back Qadree Ollison.

Although Hutchinson had limited playing time in the game, fans witnessed firsthand the valuable contributions he can make.

Detroit Lions Season Odds have improved

Detroit’s season odds have seen a slight improvement with the addition of Hutchinson to the Lions.

Despite still being considered one of the less likely teams to win the Super Bowl, the Lions have experienced an improvement in their odds across various markets. Currently, their odds on FanDuel Sportsbook MI have dropped to +10000.

The NFC North race has seen a notable improvement in odds, particularly for the Lions. BetMGM Michigan now offers the Lions at +850 to win the division in the upcoming year.

For the 2024 season, BetMGM has set the Lions’ odds to make the playoffs at +375.
