IgotBILLStopay Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) https://www.actionnetwork.com/nfl/updated-2020-nfl-mvp-odds-tracker To my knowledge, this is the highest a Bills player has been in quite a while. Top 10: 1. Wilson 2. Mahomes 3. Jackson 4. Rodgers 5. Murray 6. Prescott 7. Brees 8. Roethlisberger 9. (tie) Allen & Newton I am an efficient markets guy for the most part. So, Brees was the headscratcher - 472 yards, 1-1 record, 3 TD, 1 INT through 2 games before I realized why betters are still flocking to him. Both he and Cam are compelling stories - Brees' farewell tour and Cam's comeback. Those stories can resonate with MVP voters if they are in the mix. That leaves Big Ben as the headscratcher.

Augie Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) I suppose much will have to do with which QB wins the most games. I also suppose all the other positions will have to just cash their checks and be happy. I’d rather Allen win the Super Bowl MVP!!! .

Brees is def a headscratcher. His receiving corp is gone with Thomas out, but still, an MVP should be able to overcome that. Ben is also awkward there, he is much better than anticipated, but I wouldn't say MVP level. JA should be higher, IMO. If he keeps it up against better D's, he will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetermansRedemption Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) So, I’m impressed by Murray this year, he has exceeded all expectations I had for him. But how is he higher than Allen? He has 516 passing yards with 2 TDS and 2 INTS. Allen has 700+ yards with 6 TDS and 0 INTS?

I did just see that, and it has to have something to do with it. But Josh also has 80 yards and a TD to go along with league leading passing numbers. No respect? It’ll come. They can’t deny our man his due forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midwest1981 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Unless there's a downturn in his play or the Seahawks' record, it's hard to see anyone other than Wilson winning it this year. In addition to eye-popping stats, like Mahomes in 2018 & Lamar last year, the ability to craft a narrative is critical (Mahomes being so prolific and taking the league by storm as a first-year starter, "Second-year jump!" for Lamar, etc.). And the "Wow, Russell Wilson has never received an MVP vote!?!?" narrative is off and running, not to mention repeated everywhere, and probably won't be derailed.

When Murray runs, he is expanding people's horizons about what a QB can do. When Allen runs, he is not being a QB.:( 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykidsdad Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Injuries might play a factor, too. I put 10 bucks on JA for MVP and will get 450 if he does. The added fun of hiping he gets it is worth the bet. Get er done Josh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when we play Seattle, we have a chance to change the narrative a little bit. If our Defense can limit Wilson and Allen keeps firing, that is when Allen has a real shot at climbing relative to WIlson.

C.Biscuit97 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I know how it works but if Allen keeps it up, shouldn’t Diggs be in the MVP conversation? He completely opens up the whole offense. 31 minutes ago, MJS said: He shouldn't be, but he is. Pretty silly, if you ask me.

Big Ben is a Steeler and outside the cowboys their fans bet more than the rest, therefore he has outsized odds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
