Wilson is -143 at BetMGM and -140 at multiple
sportsbooks offering futures on the MVP award in 2020, including
PointsBet and FanDuel.
With Wilson at minus money and not showing any signs of
regressing to the mean, bettors are making considerable plays on
the "value" selections such as Mahomes and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
quarterback Tom Brady.
Brady entered Week 8 at 12-1 odds with Wilson at -110 at
PointsBet.
Aaron Rodgers was 4-1 with Mahomes 4.5-1, but the Chiefs
annihilated the moribund New York Jets and Rodgers and the
Packers stumbled at home in empty Lambeau Field, leading to most
books flipping the two QBs. That carousel will undoubtedly spin
again as the season progresses.
Brady opened the season at +1400 (14-1) at PointsBet and
DraftKings. The 43-year-old already owns the distinction as the
oldest player to win the MVP award way back in 2017. No
40-plus-year-old player has ever won NFL MVP.
At BetMGM, Brady is 16-1 and Rodgers is down to 6.5-1.
Kyler Murray (Arizona Cardinals) is 28-1 and 2019 MVP Lamar
Jackson is down to 30-1 after the Baltimore Ravens dropped to
5-2.
Among the other biggest movers of October is Brady's replacement
in New England. Patriots quarterback Cam Newton, once in the top
10, plummeted to +50000 at BetMGM. That's the same floor Cowboys
running back Ezekiel Elliott and Bears pass rusher Khalil Mack
are living on these days.
