Sam Bradford Has the Same MVP Odds as Andy Dalton, and I'm Not Sure Who That's Worse For
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.
