00:00But we look at the NFL MVP odds, and it's easy to forget.
00:04Two years ago, Tua surged in this market,
00:07found himself for multiple weeks booked as the favorite.
00:11Right now, the favorite to win the award
00:13is Lamar Jackson at a pretty short plus $4.50 price.
00:17You have 5-1 Josh Allen, 6-1 Joe Burrow, 8-1 Mahomes,
00:21plus $9.50 Jaden Daniels.
00:23And then it's 20-1 or greater on every other quarterback.
00:27So let's start at the top of the board, Donnie.
00:30What stands out to you?
00:32Lamar Jackson always has a great regular season.
00:34If he stays healthy, he's going to be right in there.
00:37But a $4.50 price, I don't know if I want to take that pre-season
00:39at that point.
00:40That's almost when we're like, hey,
00:41maybe Lamar and Baltimore struggle a little bit.
00:43He drops to $14.50.
00:45And like, OK, I'll buy in if he could finish the season late
00:47with a surge like he did this year,
00:49but still wasn't able to come up with the MVP.
00:51Burrow, of course, is going to be in there.
00:52But I don't know who his wide receivers are going to be
00:56and how talented a group that is going to be happy
00:59and also on the field.
01:00We don't know.
01:01I'll tell you the one that I'm looking for.
01:02Mahomes, nope.
01:03Daniels, nope.
01:04Hertz, nope.
01:05Herbert, nope.
01:06CJ, nope.
01:06Golf, nope.
01:07We're going to keep going down the list.
01:09How about Caleb Williams at 30-1 for the Chicago Bears,
01:12getting Ben Johnson as his offensive coordinator?
01:15You love the stories like this.
01:17The Bears are talented enough to make the playoffs.
01:19You also like that next story.
01:20What if I would have told you next year
01:22that we are going to get Caleb Williams the best he's
01:25played so far in his young career,
01:26the Bears are going to win close to 10 games,
01:28and he's going to be a catalyst for it?
01:30Because the one thing we do know,
01:31if you can turn Jared Goff into a household name
01:35and even into an MVP candidate, and then you say,
01:38I'm going to give you guys a guy with more arm talent
01:40and leg talent right off the bat, why not a 30-1?
01:43It's good odds.
01:44I like the odds.
01:45I just don't know in year number one
01:48if I would make that bet just because it's Caleb Williams.
01:51He's struggling.
01:51You're number one with Ben Johnson, you're saying?
01:53Yep.
01:54And that is the concern I have.
01:56I did not see, I didn't see the game.
01:58Now, he has come out, right?
02:01And he has said, I don't know if you saw the reports,
02:03that he had to hire somebody to help him break down film
02:06because Waldron, I mean, if that is true.
02:10I'm going into work and the coach is messing me up.
02:12Unbelievable.
02:13So, I mean, if that's what he was dealing with,
02:16I mean, that's absolutely atrocious out of Ibraflux
02:19and Waldron.
02:20But again, I just didn't see that development last year.
02:23Now, maybe he will progress with Ben Johnson.
02:26Maybe it might take two or three years.
02:28I think Donnie's right in terms of the value perspective.
02:31But again, I just think I'm not expecting
02:34a Jaden Daniels type of elevation next year.
02:36We'll see.
02:37But again, I would go to Jordan Love.
02:39I would stay in the division and I would go with Jordan Love
02:42in terms of a bounce back spot.
02:44Struggled with some, you know, interceptions last year.
02:47Struggled with, obviously, the injury concerns.
02:50Back hopefully healthy.
02:52I think he has great value now
02:54working with Josh Jacobs in that offense.
02:57I think it's a bounce back for Jordan Love in that aspect.
03:01So, I would take a shot on that.
03:02If we're looking in terms of the big board,
03:04I would take a shot on Joe Burrow
03:06just because it's Burrow when he puts up numbers
03:09and, you know, his counterpart Jaden Daniels with LSU.
