NFL odds: After Sunday night, Patrick Mahomes is now the overwhelming NFL MVP favorite
Frank Schwab 2 hrs ago
We can cease and desist with any debate about someone other than Patrick Mahomes being the NFL MVP favorite.
You’ll hear people argue that Kyler Murray, Russell Wilson, Alvin Kamara or anyone else should be “in the conversation,” but the only real talk is that the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback is the overwhelming favorite until further notice. Everyone else is vying for NFL offensive player of the year, though Mahomes should probably win that too.
Sunday night’s heroics, leading a game-winning drive over the Las Vegas Raiders everyone knew was coming, solidified Mahomes’ position. He’s the best player in football and he’s having a phenomenal year.
The odds at BetMGM reflect that.
Mahomes is -118 to win MVP at BetMGM. Next on the list is Wilson at +350. Aaron Rodgers is +550 and nobody else is less than 12-to-1. [Reply]

Maybe they’ll give the tits a participation trophy for their efforts. [Reply]

Yeah, it's too bad the Chiefs didn't get the chance to face either the Patriots or the Ravens last year. I guess we'll never know how they might have matched up. [Reply]

Don't worry- nobody will forget how bad we kicked your ass! [Reply]
Tyreek Hill on his first impression of Patrick Mahomes in 2017: “I thought he was trash. I ain’t gonna cap. I was like, ‘this is who y’all drafted?’” ��
Not only are they coworkers, but they genuinely seem like best friends off the field as well.
Make no mistake, that kind of chemistry is a HUGE reason why we're as good as we are. Complete and total trust, not only as football players, but as human beings as well. [Reply]

Ironically the Chiefs could have faced the Ravens (whom the Chiefs had beaten earlier in the year) and the Patriots (same thing). Instead they had to face the Texans (who beat KC earlier in the year) and the Titans (same). Talk about lucky. [Reply]

That Texans game was such an electrifying roller coaster ride. So glad I was able to be in the stands that day.
Side note: Goddamn do I miss going to games. I'm DYING to get to Arrowhead and it sucks that we can't all be there this year. [Reply]

Mahomes is just ABSURD. Try this: take any 16-week span of games and tot up his totals. They come out close to 5,000 yards and 50 TDs almost every time. it's freaking RIDICULOUS. [Reply]
