2016 NFL MVP Odds

[Cookie Lyon]

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

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.

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

Then I must be 5000:1 to win it too.

LOL!

Manziel shouldn't even be on the list. He's not in the NFL anymore.

50-1 last year was incredible

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.

Back to back MVP winners-

Jim Brown
Joe Montana
Brett Favre
Peyton Manning

It can be done, but it's rare.

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.

4,983:1, don't undervalue yourself.

[Jeremy Igo]

I'm going with the obvious choice

 

Sandland.

When I read the title I for sure thought it was gonna be that Josh guy in Washington.

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.
