Who’s Leading the MVP Race at the Midway Point?
The battle for the NFL’s MVP is often a tight a contentious pro football odds race that goes down to the wire. That is not the case this season. One player has jumped out to such a tremendous start that he’s got a virtual stranglehold on the trophy.
This pro football odds season the MVP award is Peyton Manning’s to lose.
Entering the season just about everyone who anything about the NFL had predicted that the Colts were in demise and that with a new and very receiving corps Manning’s numbers would also slip. And everyone who knows anything about the NFL could not have been more wrong. Manning is off to the best start of his football odds career –despite throwing to an eclectic group of receivers and Dallas Clark- and his team is 7-0. Case closed. Unless the team loses 6 straight NFL football odds match ups and misses the playoffs, Manning will likely win his record setting fourth MVP award.
Other contenders this season are Drew Brees who has also been magnificent and would the dark horse to win this race should Manning falter.
Big Ben Roethlisberger has also made a very case for himself although the Steelers defense often overshadows the work of the offense. Brett Favre has also made a case for himself but he’s surrounded by top players and it’s hard to pin-point him as the single reason for the Vike’s success.
The only defensive player who could receive any votes this year is Favre’s teammate Jared Allen, DE of the Minnesota Vikings who has been tremendous thus far.
