Felix JonesIf you are the type who bets on the NFL, June must be your creative time of year. One website right now offers only a handful of betting options, though I’ve found these options to be entertaining/interesting in and of themselves.

For Offensive Rookie of the Year, two Cowboys’ rookies made the list. Felix Jones is an 18 to 1 bet, while Tashard Choice is a 90 to 1 bet. Choice actually has the longest odds of the 31 rookies on this list. Here are these odds:

Darren McFadden (OAK): 3/1
Kevin Smith (DET): 6/1
Jonathan Stewart (CAR): 13/2
Matt Forte (CHI): 13/2
Matt Ryan (ATL): 12/1
Rashard Mendenhall (PIT): 12/1
Felix Jones (DAL): 18/1
Ray Rice (BAL): 20/1
James Hardy (BUF): 20/1
Limas Sweed (PIT): 20/1
Joe Flacco (BAL): 25/1
Devin Thomas (WAS): 25/1
Steve Slaton (HOU): 25/1
Chris Johnson (TEN): 30/1
Jamaal Charles (KC): 30/1
Jake Long (MIA): 30/1
DeSean Jackson (PHI): 35/1
Chad Henne (MIA): 35/1
Malcolm Kelly (WAS): 35/1
John Carlson (SEA): 40/1
Eddie Royal (DEN): 40/1
Brian Brohm (GB): 40/1
Dustin Keller (NYJ): 45/1
Mario Manningham (NYG): 45/1
John David Booty (MIN): 50/1
Early Doucet (ARI): 55/1
Earl Bennett (CHI): 55/1
Jacob Hester (SD): 65/1
Jerome Simpson (CIN): 65/1
Donnie Avery (STL): 70/1
Tashard Choice (DAL): 90/1

If you would seriously consider betting on anyone other than a skills player, consider this: of the 41 offensive rookies of the year since the Associated Press first gave the award in 1967, 31 selections were running backs, seven were wide receivers, and three were quarterbacks. Given this, I think I’d take my 90 to 1 chances with Choice before I’d bet anything on Jake Long.

Then again, I don’t bet.

As for Cowboys who have won the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year Award, we have three:

1969: Calvin Hill, Running Back
1977: Tony Dorsett, Running Back
1990: Emmitt Smith, Running Back
