Now that a quarter of the season has passed, the MVP race is taking shape. There aren\u2019t any big surprises among the favorites, but we have a few suggestions before you place a bet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THANKS BUT NO THANKS<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

LAMAR JACKSON +1000<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Ravens are 2-2 and Jackson has seen a decrease in passing yards in each game this season. He\u2019s playing well, but not so well that he should be one of the three favorites for MVP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AARON RODGERS +1200<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In Green Bay\u2019s three wins, Rodgers didn\u2019t eclipse 250 yards. He broke 400 in the Packers\u2019 lone loss. It doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s bad or anything, but the perception right now is the Packers aren\u2019t winning because of him. If that continues, no one\u2019s voting for Rodgers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BAKER MAYFIELD +2000<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Browns are 2-2 and Mayfield has four touchdowns and six interceptions. Even though Mayfield doesn\u2019t belong anywhere near the MVP conversation, according to the odds he\u2019s in the top eight. There\u2019s no value here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DARK HORSES<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ALVIN KAMARA +5000<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In a just world, Kamara would be getting a lot more MVP buzz now. He affects the game in so many ways and he basically has the Saints\u2019 offense on his back until Drew Brees returns. He probably won\u2019t have the incredible numbers a running back needs to get MVP consideration, but his value to the Saints is undeniable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MATTHEW STAFFORD +6600<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The NFC North is arguably the most wide-open division in the league. If the Lions win, it would be fair to say they came out of nowhere. Everybody loves an underdog. Stafford is Detroit\u2019s best offensive weapon and he\u2019ll get a ton of credit if the Lions are successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOP FIVE<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

5. DAK PRESCOTT +1200<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Dak\u2019s numbers are comparable to Lamar Jackson but he\u2019s 3-1 and has more attractive odds. It doesn\u2019t hurt that he plays for America\u2019s Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. PHILIP RIVERS +4000<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Rivers is third in the league in passing yards even though the Chargers\u2019 offense hasn\u2019t been at full strength yet. If Melvin Gordon, Mike Williams and Hunter Henry all come back healthy then Rivers could be unstoppable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. PATRICK MAHOMES -125<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the chalk pick, but Mahomes is the heavy favorite for a reason. Last year\u2019s MVP leads the league with 377 yards per game and is tied for the most touchdowns (10) even though he didn\u2019t throw one on Sunday. The award is his to lose but there won\u2019t be much profit for those who bet on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. RUSSELL WILSON +2000<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Mahomes is the only quarterback with a higher rating than Wilson. Since Wilson typically starts slow and finishes strong, it\u2019s worth noting this may be the strongest start of his career<\/a>. If his numbers are already this good, his typical December surge could put him over the edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. TOM BRADY +1000<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Patriots look borderline unstoppable and if Brady plays relatively well, he\u2019ll be Mahomes\u2019 toughest challenge. The numbers aren\u2019t great compared to some of the other players on this list, but they don\u2019t need to be. If the Patriots wrap up another top seed with 14-16 wins, Brady will get consideration regardless of the numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
