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]

CEH is good for a rookie, but as of right now he is a significant drop off from when Hunt was here. Our TEs outside of Kelce are horrible to say the least. Mahomes has more to do with the eliteness of this offense than many experts will admit.
Had this exact same point given to a guy on twitter recently. Adams and Jones are Rodgers Hill and Kelcie. Are they as good no but it’s not like Rogers doesn’t have weapons. [Reply]

He's got 3 games left to make people forget about it. And I mean 3 games. They HAVE to win 2 out of the next 3 to remain the #1 seed. One of which is the Chargers game. Get a comforable lead in that one you can sit Mahomes but until then he has to play. :-) [Reply]

I don't know if there is a more arrogant know it all dumb ass Than Marcellus Wiley. Maybe a couple of CP posters but they don't have a sports talk show.

Mahomes is clearly best player in NFL. Everyone knows that but that doesn't mean he is always going to win MVP or that he doesn't have more help than most
Other guys may have a better year it happens.
Put Mahomes in Cleveland, Tampa, or last years Vikings/Falcons, and everyone would say those teams had the best weapons in the NFL
Plenty of teams have talented arsenals. But only one team is like the Chiefs, and that’s because they have Mahomes [Reply]

Mahomes 3 INT "worst" game of the season still compares much more favorably to Aaron Rodgers worst game of the season, which was a blowout loss to Tampa (he had 160 yards passing 2 INTs and 0 TDs).
At least Mahomes had 2 TD passes and almost 400 yards passing, AND most importantly a win in his "worst" game of the season. [Reply]
