00:00Seasonal awards, which includes the MVP, boy, it's been topsy turvy.

00:08Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, rinse and repeat.

00:13Those three guys are top three right now, at least on the FanDuel Sportsbook.

00:16Lamar's at a three to one price tied identically with Josh Allen's three to one price.

00:21Patrick Mahomes plus 450, Goff eight to one, Jaden Daniels eight to one, and Jalen Hurts

00:25at 16 to one.

00:27So the top five at basically 10 to one or less, Daniels, Goff, Mahomes, Allen, and Lamar

00:32Jackson.

00:33But I want to focus on who actually has a legitimate chance to win this, because you

00:37know me, more of content side of it.

00:39I'm a Russell Wilson guy because I said he was the better quarterback than Justin Fields.

00:42He should get in there.

00:43Their offense will be better.

00:44I've been proven right so far.

00:46Now they start to play better teams over the next two weeks, which includes the Washington

00:50Commanders, but they made some pretty shrewd moves to get Mike Williams at wide receiver

00:53to help out.

00:55I don't even know if you need the one, but you can't have too many of them.

00:58I think that helps out, but he sits at a 400 to one ticket and I bet $25 on that, and it's

01:03still available at 400 to one $10,000 is the payoff from $25 for Russell Wilson to win

01:10MVP.

01:11Is it an extreme long shot?

01:12Yes, it is.

01:13But I want to see if he can put some wins together and see how low that number can actually

01:17go.

01:18What does just get taken off the board?

01:19Because it's a useless bet here.

01:21I thought it was perfect to ride that out and watch it as it goes over the next couple

01:24weeks to see if it does move up, but not certainly in the realm of Lamar Jackson has

01:28been nothing short of sensational this season, trying to win his third regular season MVP

01:33in the NFL.

01:34You know me, I love myself some Josh Allen.

01:37That offense is perfect right now, and he's the perfect quarterback for it.

01:40He'll do a lot of damage.

01:41Patrick Mahomes, all he does is win, win, win, no matter what, every week.

01:48That's why he's plus 450.

01:49That's why he's hanging around, not because of the statistics that he's pointing out,

01:53but just simply because of the actual winning.

01:56Now granted, his statistics, which include touchdown passes, are getting better on a

02:00week to week basis.

02:01There's no question about that.

02:03He is going to be a factor in the end of it, because if they try to succeed in an undefeated

02:09regular season, he's your automatic MVP.

02:11Now granted, we've talked about this multiple times.

02:15You're looking at the Kansas City Chiefs and saying, where are all those slip up spots

02:18on the schedule?

02:20That's going to come at Buffalo, and that's going to come at Pittsburgh here, the two

02:23tough road games.

02:25But we've seen so many games that you can argue a perfect Kansas City Chiefs team should

02:30be hovering close to 500, as opposed to unbeaten here.

02:34But that's the NFL.

02:35You can't take the wings away.

02:36We understand sometimes it's the bounce of a ball.

02:38You do have to get breaks, and Kansas City has been good and has been getting the breaks.

02:43But who is legit?

02:44Can Jared Goff sneak into that MVP race?

02:46Donnie, what do you mean sneak in?

02:47He's top four already.

02:48But are we really buying into Jared Goff?

02:50You know I'm buying into the Lions.

02:52You follow me on my timeline at Right Side VP.

02:54I put out, what, 12 tickets, 10 tickets on Detroit?

02:57Not huge ones, between $10 and $50, lining them up at close to three to one prices on

03:02just about every single one of those, which are no longer there now because they handled

03:06easily beating the Green Bay Packers in Green Bay.

03:08So now setting up that division, they have home games against the Packers.

03:12They have home games against the Minnesota Vikings that they've already taken care of

03:15business with on the road.

03:16Love that team.

03:17Is Jared Goff legitimate?

03:19Because they eat a lot on the ground.
