Tua a Top 10 Contender in NFL MVP Odds; Wilson & Burrow Hanging Around

Patrick Mahomes is the 2018 NFL MVP. He led the Chiefs to a 27-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. His NFL odds went down to +400 from +500. Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is now the favorite for the MVP award.

Mahomes, Allen and Herbert are in the top three of the NFL MVP odds after Week 2. Aaron Rodgers was the co-favorites in February.

Tua turned in a historic performance for Miami Dolphins. He threw for 469 yards and 6 touchdowns in the win over the Ravens. It was the first time since 2011 that a team rallied from a deficit of 21+ points in fourth quarter. Lamar Jackson's MVP odds have been shortened. Aaron Rodgers is the favourite to win the award.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 2-0, but Tom Brady hasn't been impressive. Joe Burrow's passer rating is a dismal 73.1. Matt Ryan's odds of winning the MVP have plummeted. Russell Wilson's is struggling under new Denver coach Nathaniel Hackett.

Trey Lance will have season-ending surgery to repair a broken ankle. Justin Herbert suffered a fractured rib cartilage. Herbert is the third betting choice in the NFL MVP future book.

Tua is a top contender for NFL MVP. Mahomes and Allen are also good bets. Dallas Cowboys are having injuries. It's best to wait for a couple of weeks to assess a player before making a big bet.
