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]

That's like trying to get an elite receiver for Alex Smith. Lamar needs a dominant running game and great TEs and he has great supporting talent there. He probably wouldn't be any good with 3 passing weapons but no running game. [Reply]

Um, Alex Smith led the NFL in passer rating the year he got a truly elite WR when Tyreek Hill developed in his second year. [Reply]

Yup. Mahomes is runaway MVP right now, but Rodgers belongs in the conversation.
Wilson will need an insane end of season plus both Mahomes and Rodgers collapsing to win this one. He Drew Brees-ed himself out of the discussion. [Reply]
