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]

But take away Tannehill and insert decent QB and TEN still wins 9-10 games.
Take away Henry and insert average RB, and TEN doesn't even break even.
NFL defenses prepare for Henry, not Tannehill. It's part of the reason Tannehill is as efficient as he is, so long as they don't have to play from way behind. How DCs prep for a team tells you everything you need to know about who is the most dangerous player on a team.
When looking at D. Henrys past production with a QB other than Tannehill and then Henrys production with Tannehill as his QB one can come to the assumption that Tannehill is the driving force to the Titans turn around.
Prior to Tannehill the Titans were 2-4 in 2019 and after Tannehill takes over the Titans go 9-4 and make it to the AFC title game and get their asses kicked by the Super Bowl winning Kansas City Chiefs. Now look at Henry's production during the 1st 6 games of last year
113 carries/416 yards/3.68 ypc/4 TDs
The last 10 games of the regular season with Tannehill

All teams had to do was key on the run. Mariota couldn't even complete 60% of his passes.
You won't be able to run the ball with zero threat of passing. Likewise, PA passing doesn't work if your run game isn't a threat.
Tannehill without Henry is the same as Henry without Tannehill - not as effective. [Reply]

Probably pretty well considering we played and beat both teams in the reg season last year?
Had Green Bay not been run out of the stadium in the NFCCG, the entire postseason would have been a revenge tour destroying teams that beat us in the reg season.
Instead we got revenge on Dee Ford in the SB. That offside cost him 2 rings. [Reply]

Uhh... no.
The superbowl was a revenge game far deeper than 1 game. Forget Dee ford. That was gravy.
Mahomes Elway'd the Shanahans. Played like shit all game and stole it at the end. It was the PERFECT revenge game, and another demon slain by the exorcist St. Patrick [Reply]

Just a suggestion, but change allegiance. Become a Chiefs fan and enjoy the season for a change. Don't wait until Patrick is about to hang 'em up. Join now while you can still celebrate before Patrick even enters his prime. [Reply]

In this scenario, there would be no Chiefs fans left. Everyone would be miserable Patriots fans right now [Reply]
