The end of one NFL week means an update on the futures for the rest of the National Football
00:09
League season.
00:10
We look at the MVP odds at the conclusion of week number five, and we scratch our heads
00:17
once again.
00:18
Listen, I love the Kansas City Chiefs.
00:21
They should be the AFC title favorites.
00:23
They should reach a third consecutive Super Bowl.
00:26
But Patrick Mahomes should not be the NFL MVP favorite.
00:31
Don't listen to me.
00:32
Listen to Patrick himself, who has said time and again over the last few weeks that he
00:38
is not playing up to the caliber that he needs to or expects.
00:43
He did not throw a touchdown last night.
00:45
He should have.
00:46
Juju Smith-Schuster kind of dropped one that popped up in the air and led to an interception
00:51
for the big man, Colin Saunders.
00:53
So that's not really on Mahomes, who did throw for more than 330 and was dicing up
00:58
New Orleans secondary on Monday night.
01:02
But overall, the stats still look like this.
01:05
Six touchdowns to six interceptions.
01:08
If you want to make him one of the favorites because nobody has taken the front running
01:13
seat, fine.
01:15
But at plus 230, as compared to everybody else at six to one or greater, what are we
01:20
doing?
01:21
I mean, Joe Jackson has the numbers to back it up, but I think it's voter fatigue.
01:26
Shouldn't there also be voter fatigue with another guy in Mahomes that has won two MVP
01:31
awards in the last six seasons?
01:32
I mean, I guess I really shouldn't care that much.
01:35
Mahomes is leading the Chiefs to a perfect five and 0 start.
01:38
But still, Joe, it just kind of boggles the mind.
01:41
Well, and I think it really has more to do, Ben, with the books protecting themselves
01:48
here in week five.
01:49
Are they really going to give you an opportunity to get Mahomes at six to one, seven to one
01:55
in week five and six right now?
01:58
And then all of a sudden he rattles off unbelievable numbers down the strats and wins every game.
02:04
They're just not going to expose themselves to give you or us an opportunity to take them.
02:09
And anything more than what that number is right now, the question is, how much faith
02:14
do we have in anybody else?
02:16
Let's say by week 13, Ben, having racked up enough quality numbers and stats and perception
02:24
that they are better than Mahomes and deserve, because let's say they're undefeated.
02:29
Let's say they're 13 and 0 heading into week 14.
02:33
What would his number be then?
02:35
So I think I think they're just protecting themselves at this point.
