THANKS BUT NO THANKS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

CARSON WENTZ +2000<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wentz picked up his second 300-yard game of the season playing from behind against Minnesota. His numbers are poor in key areas (completion percentage, yards per attempt) and he plays for a 3-2 team that counts Washington and Luke Falk\u2019s Jets among their victories. Next up on the schedule: Dallas, Buffalo, Chicago, New England and Seattle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AARON RODGERS +900<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rodgers\u2019 value is worse every week. He was +1200 last week and now he\u2019s tied for the fourth-best odds. The Packers picked up a controversial win and Rodgers\u2019 numbers were fine, not great. His name is Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are winning games, so we can\u2019t discount the possibility he wins. At the moment, the odds aren\u2019t nearly good enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JIMMY GAROPPOLO +1200<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garoppolo made the dark horse list last week at +2500.  He was interesting at those odds, but not anymore. Being the quarterback of an undefeated team helps, but it can only get you so far. He\u2019s 22nd in the league in yards per game (232.6) and he\u2019s thrown seven touchdowns and five interceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DARK HORSES<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

LAMAR JACKSON +1800<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ravens are 4-2 and Jackson is on pace to set the quarterback rushing record. The problem is he\u2019s been aided by an easy schedule and he\u2019s had a couple of ugly performances. We didn\u2019t like him at +1000 two weeks ago, but +1800 now is a defensible dark horse pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAK PRESCOTT +2800<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a pure numbers perspective, Prescott belongs in the top five. We had him there last week even though he had worse odds (+2000). The knock on him is his team. Dallas looks lost and the award won\u2019t go to the quarterback of a team that doesn\u2019t at least make the playoffs. The case could be made that this is the perfect time to buy Dak for MVP stock, but it\u2019s difficult to pull the trigger when you watch the Cowboys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOP FIVE<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

5. CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY +900<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCaffrey\u2019s quest to break Chris Johnsons\u2019 all-purpose yards record took a hit in London. But the Panthers won again and McCaffrey had some highlight-reel plays. His odds are a bit more attractive this week, so he sneaks into the top five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. DESHAUN WATSON +800<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Houston\u2019s win over Kansas City has them looking like one of the best teams in the AFC. Watson has a high statistical ceiling every week, so it\u2019s not hard to imagine him winning the award. If it weren\u2019t for a couple of bad performances, he might be the favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. RUSSELL WILSON +200<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the odds indicate, if the season ended today Wilson would be the favorite to be the MVP. He still hasn\u2019t thrown an interception and he\u2019s thrown the second-most touchdowns in the league. At 5-1, the Seahawks are one of several teams in contention for the NFC\u2019s top seed. If that happens and Wilson keeps this up, he\u2019d be a shoo-in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. TOM BRADY +1200<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brady and Garoppolo have the same odds for some reason. Rodgers shouldn\u2019t have better odds than Brady, either. Brady has the same thing going for him as they do (a top tier team) but his numbers are better. He did fall out of our top spot, but that had more to do with our top bet\u2019s odds. Brady is a great bet in his own right.

1. PATRICK MAHOMES +250<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chiefs lost two in a row and Mahomes was hobbled by an ankle injury. Those setbacks may have helped him, at least for our purposes. He still had moments of dominance and the Chiefs are a good bet to be the AFC\u2019s top seed. Now that Mahomes is no longer the favorite, he\u2019s the best bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
