Oddsmakers Bovada just released their odds for this year’s NFL MVP, and two new Eagles made the cut for having odds 50/1 or below. The top five players are a who’s who of automatic shoo-ins: Aaron Rodgers (5/1), Andrew Luck (7/1), Adrian Peterson (12/1), J.J. Watt (12/1), and Peyton Manning (16/1). But if you head further down that list, you start to see some midnight green. Here’s the list of players with 25/1 odds:
Odell Beckham – 25/1
Dez Bryant – 25/1
Calvin Johnson – 25/1
Eddie Lacy – 25/1
Marshawn Lynch – 25/1
DeMarco Murray – 25/1
Tony Romo – 25/1
And with 50/1 odds:
Sam Bradford – 50/1
Antonio Brown – 50/1
Jay Cutler – 50/1
Andy Dalton – 50/1
Julio Jones – 50/1
Colin Kaepernick – 50/1
Cam Newton – 50/1
Demaryius Thomas – 50/1
A poll on Bleeding Green Nation shows people think Bradford has a better chance than DeMarco Murray, but that can be chalked up to either the QB vs. RB thing or a joke. They’re both long-shots, but most fans (and probably Murray and Bradford themselves) would happily take a bunch of wins instead.
