Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was the +250 favorite last
week, but he turned the ball over three times while leading the
offense to only six points in a stunning loss at Jacksonville.
His odds lengthened to +350 at BetMGM and DraftKings, as Allen
and Brady are now the co-favorites at both sportsbooks.
Brady is also leading the way with 22 percent of the money at
DraftKings backing him to win his fourth MVP award.
Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray is +500 at BetMGM and +750 at
DraftKings after sitting out the Cardinals' rout of the San
Francisco 49ers due to an ankle injury. Matthew Stafford (+750,
+800) saw his odds lengthen following the Rams' lopsided home
loss to the Tennessee Titans.
Dak Prescott's odds also took a hit -- from +700 to +900 at
BetMGM and from +650 to +1200 at DraftKings -- after the Dallas
Cowboys had to rally late to avoid a shutout during a loss to
the Denver Broncos.
Aaron Rodgers wasn't even on the field for the Green Bay
Packers' loss to the Kansas City Chiefs after testing positive
for COVID-19. Combined with the fallout from his explanation for
not being vaccinated, and Rodgers' MVP odds also slipped to +900
and +1200, respectively.
However, Rodgers, the reigning MVP, continues to be the
most-backed candidate at DraftKings with 17 percent of the bets
since the market opened. He's also responsible for 10 percent of
the money wagered at the book.
Another quarterback on the rise this week also hasn't taken a
snap in weeks. The news that Russell Wilson has been medically
cleared to return for the Seattle Seahawks' Week 10 game at
Green Bay resulted in his MVP odds shortening from +25000 to
+10000 at DraftKings.
Cincinnati wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase remains the -140 favorite
to win Offensive Rookie of the Year honors, with New England
quarterback Mac Jones (+350) his closest competitor.
Dallas linebacker Micah Parsons is coming off a 2.5-sack
performance against Denver. He also has 21 tackles, including
7.0 for losses, in his past two games, resulting in his
Defensive Rookie of the Year odds shortening from +600 to -120.
Parson has overtaken Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II, who
moved from +500 last week to +1000 along with Giants linebacker
Azeez Ojulari and Baltimore Ravens linebacker Jayson Oweh.
