00:02 Because as we look at the MVP race, there's a clear tier of two with how
00:07 short the prices are as we enter the final month of this regular season.
00:12 If there was some conversation for history for Tyreek factoring into this race,
00:17 that took a big blow last night.
00:19 So the conversation is between the two quarterbacks at the top,
00:23 Dak Prescott, who's the favorite at plus 150.
00:27 Brock Purdy, who is now only 25 cents behind following the double header on
00:32 Monday night at plus 175.
00:34 >> Yeah, this is a good one coming down the stretch.
00:37 And also, you had a chance for Jalen Hurts to insert himself into the MVP
00:40 conversation once again with at least a victory against the 49ers and
00:44 or the Dallas Cowboys.
00:45 He should have, it's not for layups because Seattle's a quality opponent
00:49 on the road.
00:49 It's always tough to go 3,000 miles and play in front of the 12s.
00:52 That's not gonna be an easy win for the Eagles.
00:54 But it doesn't feel like he's going to get his chance to be that MVP.
00:57 Everybody's gonna expect them to roll over the New York Giants and
01:00 the Washington Commanders, and they probably will.
01:02 So if I'm being honest, you take a look at Dak Prescott, Brock Purdy,
01:05 Lamar Jackson, there's three legitimate contenders here.
01:08 Now granted, Josh Allen could jump up at 14 to 1 if they run the table and
01:12 end up winning the NFC East.
01:13 I don't think that's going to happen here, but they do have a chance of that.
01:16 So let's be real about 6 to 1 or less here.
01:18 Lamar Jackson has the toughest schedule in the NFL.
01:21 So what are we saying here?
01:22 He's not gonna run the table.
01:23 If he does, he will be the MVP.
01:26 Same way I talk about Dak Prescott.
01:27 Tough schedule to end the season.
01:29 They're not running the table.
01:30 So therefore, that's gonna damage his MVP efforts,
01:33 which puts you square at Brock Purdy plus 175.
01:36 He is also gonna have a showcase game against Lamar Jackson at home in Santa
01:40 Clara against the Baltimore Ravens.
01:42 So if we're just thinking out loud and saying,
01:44 who has the best chance to be the number one overall seed with the best record in
01:48 football, it's the San Francisco 49ers.
01:50 This weekend also playing the Arizona Cardinals.
01:53 They're up at 325, three touchdowns, no interceptions, and a blowout victory.
01:57 And you will be the favorite by the end of the weekend,
01:59 because Dak Prescott's got a tough Buffalo Bills team here.
02:02 Top three guys in there, Prescott Purdy and Lamar Jackson, all active here to win
02:07 an MVP, but if you gotta bet, it's gotta be Brock Purdy for me, Ben.
