The MVP race is rapidly comping to a close. Here are the current odds from the biggest underdogs to the biggest favorite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brady had a decent MVP case for a while, but the last two games have solidly knocked him out of contention. His saving grace is an easy schedule down the stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thomas is the league\u2019s leading receiver by a wide margin even though he spent a good deal of the season without his starting quarterback. It will be tough for a receiver to win the award without breaking a bunch of records, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to his injury, Brees currently sits at 32nd in the league in passing yards. He needed to have an incredible return to have a chance and, so far, that hasn\u2019t happened. He was great in one, terrible in another and didn\u2019t have to do much in the third because the Saints had a big lead. He\u2019d need an incredible final fourth of the season and he\u2019s going against some tough defenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In many ways, Kirk Cousins\u2019 numbers are similar to Russell Wilson\u2019s. He has 21 touchdowns to three interceptions (Wilson has 23 touchdowns and two interceptions). They\u2019re not too far away from each other in yards per game or completion percentage, either. His early-season struggles are working against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cook is second in the league in rushing yards, though the Vikings are one of the few teams who haven\u2019t had their bye yet. He\u2019ll close the season with several dream matchups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Garoppolo\u2019s numbers aren\u2019t that impressive, but he does play for a 9-1 team and two of his last three games were among his best of the season. As long as the 49ers keep winning, he\u2019ll be a dark horse. He\u2019ll need more games like his recent performance against Atlanta, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Panthers just lost their second straight to fall to 5-5, but McCaffrey still had 191 yards from scrimmage. He\u2019ll need to average 155.5 yards from scrimmage per game for the rest of the season to break Chris Johnsons\u2019 record of 2,509. Considering the Panthers\u2019 situation, the record might not be enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prescott is back to having the kinds of games he had at the beginning of the season. The problem is the Cowboys are just 6-4. He\u2019s unlikely to get much consideration unless the Cowboys end up being one of the top teams in the NFC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mahomes is coming off by far his worst statistical performance of the season in games he started and finished. After the bye, Mahomes faces several tough secondaries. He had a shot if he and the Chiefs finished the season as dominant as they were in 2019, but it doesn\u2019t look like that\u2019s going to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watson was arguably the most attractive MVP bet until the Texans got demolished by Baltimore. That\u2019s going to hurt him in any MVP discussion involving Lamar Jackson. He\u2019ll need to come back with a vengeance to win the award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rodgers has thrown one touchdown in his last two games, one of which was an ugly loss to the Chargers. It\u2019s unlikely he\u2019ll get votes unless his numbers pick up. We know he\u2019s capable of it though, considering the tear he went on in October. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wilson was the favorite last week, but he was on bye and Lamar Jackson laid waste to the Texans. Wilson finally picked up a signature win in San Francisco and he\u2019s earned the highest QB rating in the league with 23 touchdowns and two interceptions. If Wilson keeps this up and the Seahawks can wrestle the NFC West lead away from the 49ers, it will be difficult to deny him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jackson had been running well all season and now his passing numbers have reached the upper echelon. He\u2019s 24th in passing yards per game but fourth in QB rating. That\u2019s incredible considering how productive he is on the ground. He has 25 total touchdowns, which is second only to Wilson\u2019s 26. The two favorites should be going back and forth for the season\u2019s final six weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
