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]

Still not sold on SEA's defense being "much improved."
What's clear is that they've played five games in a row against some pretty bad offenses. [Reply]

Packers with home field advantage throughout look like the worthy favourites to be the NFC rep in the Super Bowl.
They're a great home team in the playoffs. On the road, different story. [Reply]

Sure, again.. I dont expect the Packers to reach the SB. Their team is not that strong, I hope I'm wrong. Mahomes vs. Rodgers would be epic. [Reply]

If you think NO is stronger, you’re delusional. [Reply]
Who cares. I would give it to Rogers at this point even though we have had a tougher schedule and one loss. The Ward is numbers driven mostly and he has better numbers. [Reply]

3. Mahomes
Last 4 games:
Last 7 games:
So MVP = Last 4 or 7 games (depending upon who you want to frame your talking point around) and not the entire body of work for the season. Got it..... [Reply]
Mahomes has become the LeBron of the NFL for these hot take artists. Everyone knows he's the best player in the league but they look for ways to diminish his accomplishments and find ways to credit others because it makes for better TV.
It's a sign of respect more than anything. [Reply]

Too early for that type of comparison. I think a lot of people view him as just one of many talented young QB’s in the league. He will need to pile up another couple rings to really separate himself from the pack. Got a pretty solid chance to get a ring this year, and we will see if his team can get the job done. [Reply]
