Be sure to check out our analysis of last week<\/a> as well as this week before placing a bet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. DALVIN COOK +2500 (LAST WEEK NR)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Cook leads the league in rushing yards, though he is one of the few top running backs who hasn\u2019t had a bye week yet. That\u2019s a red flag, along with his injury history. Cook played six games in his first season and 11 in his second. His next game will be his 11th this season and he\u2019s already at 243 touches.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. DAK PRESCOTT +3300 (LAST WEEK 9)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Prescott may not have much of a chance since the Cowboys are 5-4, but the numbers are impressive. He put up 397 yards against Minnesota and has three touchdowns in each of his last two games. If the Cowboys go on a long winning streak, he\u2019ll be in consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. DREW BREES +3300 (LAST WEEK 7)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We liked Brees as a dark horse because of his easy schedule. That didn\u2019t seem to matter too much against the Falcons since Brees couldn\u2019t manufacture a touchdown despite facing one of the worst defenses in the league. The odds took a dive too, so he\u2019s still here. It will take something close to a miracle for him to get in the conversation, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY +900 (LAST WEEK 6)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

McCaffrey still has a decent shot to break Chris Johnson\u2019s yards-from-scrimmage record. After Dalvin Cook has his bye, McCaffrey should have the top of the rushing yards leaderboard all to himself. He\u2019s still not likely to win since he\u2019s a running back, but a few huge games will put him in consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. AARON RODGERS +900 (LAST WEEK 5)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We warned against betting Rodgers when he was the favorite because he had underperformed up to that point and had a difficult upcoming schedule. That prediction has been correct so far, as Rodgers has had two straight unimpressive performances. He\u2019s still an okay bet because the Packers are good and he\u2019s shown he\u2019s capable of taking over games, but he\u2019s had more subpar performances than great ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. LAMAR JACKSON +250 (LAST WEEK 8)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Jackson had one of his best passing performances of the season in a big win over the Bengals. We\u2019ve been more lukewarm than most on Jackson\u2019s MVP candidacy, but there\u2019s no denying how great he was in his last two performances. We also have to factor in who chooses the winner: The Associated Press. If the media loves someone, they have a big advantage. That\u2019s clearly the case for Jackson. Of course, if he keeps playing the way he did in Baltimore\u2019s last two games, he\u2019ll deserve it regardless of the media hype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. RUSSELL WILSON +175 (LAST WEEK 4)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There was some debate over whether Wilson\u2019s MVP candidacy was helped or hurt by his performance on Monday night. On one hand, his stat line wasn\u2019t impressive and he threw a critical interception in overtime that could have cost them the game. On the other hand, were it not for critical errors from some of his teammates (particularly fumbles by DK Metcalf and Germain Ifedi) the Seahawks might have won by double-digits in regulation. As it stands, he orchestrated the game-winning drive that gave the 49ers their first loss. That\u2019s reason enough to hold his spot as the favorite for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. TOM BRADY +2000 (LAST WEEK 3)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As we mentioned above regarding Jackson, the media chooses the MVP. While we\u2019ve been saying Brady deserves more MVP buzz, the fact is he\u2019s not getting any. Perhaps that\u2019s due to the fatigue of Brady and the Patriots winning so often. It\u2019s looking like he\u2019ll need to have a magical end to the season to get his name in consideration. With several unimposing defenses left on the schedule, it\u2019s certainly possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. PATRICK MAHOMES +1400 (LAST WEEK 1)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We said last week that a big game from Mahomes would put him back in the MVP discussion. Well, he did have a big game, but the Chiefs lost in memorable fashion and Mahomes odds went from +1200 to +1400. Had Kansas City won, things would certainly look a little different. The good news is Mahomes looked like his old self and we know that means he\u2019s in the running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. DESHAUN WATSON +600 (LAST WEEK 2)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It was easy to forget about Watson during his bye, especially when Lamar Jackson and Russell Wilson were all over the news. Watson was +350 last week and moved to +600 without playing. He could have Will Fuller back this week when the Texans host the Ravens. The arrow is pointing up for Watson, yet we have better odds than we did last week. That\u2019s enough to put Watson in the top spot for the first time this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
