Pittsburgh Steelers star T.J. Watt held onto his lead in the NFL sacks leader race over the holiday weekend, but the competition remains stiff with Cincinnati Bengals edge Trey Hendrickson close behind, along with Danielle Hunter of the Minnesota Vikings and Khalil Mack of the Los Angeles Chargers.

NFL sacks leader betting analysis

Watt was available at +200 just last week across our best sports betting sites, but his plus-money odds are long gone. Though he's nursing just a one-sack lead with two weeks to play, the market is nonetheless condensing with fewer and fewer players in a realistic position to pass Watt (and the others) at this point.

 and  are all over the map with three outlier highs apiece, but the former has three outlier lows and the latter has four.  is not a bad alternative, with the co-best odds on Watt.

Favorite to be the NFL sacks leader in 2023

T.J. Watt ()

Watt has been leading the Steelers' defensive wrecking crew with 17 sacks, and he's been blanked in just three games all year after bringing down Bengals QB Jake Browning once in Week 16.

The ineptitude of the Steelers' offense will keep Watt on the field more often, increasing his opportunities for sacks as the season winds down.

NFL sacks leader odds 2023: Contender

Trey Hendrickson ()

If you grabbed Hendrickson at +2000 last month, you have to be feeling pretty good.

Following his seventh straight game with at least half a sack, Hendrickson has become a serious contender to earn the most sacks in football in 2023. The Bengals pass rusher just one sack off Watt's lead with two games to play. 

NFL sacks leader odds 2023: Long shot

Maxx Crosby ()

I wouldn't want Maxx Crosby at any shorter than +2000 with 3.5 sacks to make up, but he's worth a flyer at this price.

Crosby draws a pair of favorable matchups with the Colts and Broncos to close out the year, and he could reasonably get his fourth and/or fifth multi-sack game in Weeks 17 and 18.
