Shady Has the 7th Best MVP Odds, Foles Has 9th

Well, they aren’t 7th and 9th on the list, but if you look at the odds only, I’m pretty sure my math is at least arguably on point: Bovada LV has released their NFL MVP odds for this coming season, and the top sixteen players are listed below:
Peyton Manning 3/1
Drew Brees 11/2
Aaron Rodgers 15/2
Tom Brady 9/1
Andrew Luck 16/1
Jay Cutler 20/1
Matthew Stafford 20/1
Colin Kaepernick 25/1
Cam Newton 25/1
Russell Wilson 25/1
Robert Griffin III 25/1
LeSean McCoy 25/1
Adrian Peterson 25/1
Calvin Johnson 25/1
Matt Ryan 33/1
Nick Foles 40/1
The only players with better odds than McCoy are Manning, Brees, Rodgers, Brady, Luck, Cutler, and Stafford. Among those, I’d probably bump those last two down a bit, but hey, I’m not an oddsmaker. Shady is tied at 25/1 odds with Adrian Peterson, Calvin Johnson, and a couple of other quarterbacks. Foles’ 40/1 (and no, that’s not a measurement!) puts him on the list as the QB with the 13th best odds. He’s still “untested” and hasn’t yet shown a full season’s work, but after last year’s performance, I thought he’d at least be higher than Matt Ryan.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
