2016 NFL MVP Odds

Cam Newton is the favorite to repeat this season. Luke Kuechly is listed at 250:1.

Quote
Carson Palmer and Tom Brady, who were the only players other than Newton to receive MVP votes are listed at 14:1 and 15:1 odds, respectfully

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton finished the 2015 regular season with a league-leading 45 total touchdowns, becoming the first player in NFL history to account for at least 30 passing TDs and 10 rushing TDs in a single season. The stats and the Panthers' 15-1 record earned Newton the league MVP award, but will the QB be able to repeat in 2016? 

According to one sportsbook, Newton is a 7:2 favorite to win the league MVP this season, ahead of Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (4:1), who won the award in 2011.  

Carson Palmer and Tom Brady, who were the only players other than Newton to receive MVP votes in February, are listed at 14:1 and 15:1 odds, respectfully. 

Looking for a longshot? Look no further than a QB that has taken plenty of shots this offseason — Johnny Manziel, who is currently unemployed and is listed at 5,000:1.

The team odds of 8:1-14:1 or thereabouts to win it all is a better play.  We will not be denied as a team this year.  Cam is/will be the GOAT, but this year they'll find a reason to give MVP to someone else if even remotely possible and KB is going to be such a freak they'll grade on a curve.  We will also play winning, not necessarily stat padding football, and while our schedule IS easier than last year due to opponent QBs, we will play tougher defenses.

Cam forced the hands of voters last year. Best believe many voters were gritting their teeth casting their vote. One slip up and Brady or Palmer would have taken it.

Agreed.

Just look at the 2 morons who didn't vote for him.

JJ Watt and Antonio Brown at 100-1? I'd take that bet.

Probably just be throwing money away.  The last defensive player to 1in the MVP was LT and that was 30 years ago in 1986.  Before then?  1971.  That concludes the list of defensive players to win the MVP.  A WR has never won the MVP.

In fact, LT was the last guy to win the MVP who wasn't a QB or RB.  30 straight years of QBs and RBs with the list skewing heavily to QB.

The smart money is on a QB.  If you're gonna bet on a non-QB, pick a RB.

That is my biggest peeve with the whole MVP award, its not even who is most valuable player to their team, it's who's the best offensive player.  That already has its own award.

However, if it's the most valuable player to the league, then yeah, its always gonna be a QB or RB.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
