00:00And so let's dive in a little bit to the MVP.

00:02This could be correlated to the number one seed too.

00:04The interesting part about this is that Patrick Mahomes

00:07does not look like he's gonna win the MVP this year

00:09at 15 to one.

00:10He just hasn't had the offensive season.

00:12I probably would eliminate Goff and Lamar Jackson too.

00:15I feel like it's a two player race,

00:17but Vinny, I don't know that Josh Allen

00:20is the absolute lock.

00:21Like if Barkley goes off for a couple more 200 yard games,

00:25who's to say that if Philly catches Detroit

00:29and he's the number one offensive player in the NFL

00:31that he can't win it.

00:32I mean, I don't know that I would throw a ton on five to one

00:35but I don't think that Josh Allen is open and shut.

00:38Yeah, I mean, in the eyes of the voters, certainly not.

00:41I mean, there are different perspectives to have there.

00:43And if Saquon Barkley stays on the record rushing pace,

00:46by the way, he gets the worst run defense in the NFL

00:49this week and the Panthers, he could really pad that total.

00:52If he is headed toward the rushing record

00:55and we've seen it with big seasons from Adrian Peterson,

00:58who was the last running back to win MVP,

01:00he blew past 2000 yards.

01:02If you get to that mark and the Eagles end up being

01:05the second or best team in the NFC,

01:08it's gonna be hard to take it away from Barkley.

01:11But I think it's gonna be an interesting battle

01:13because again, this has traditionally

01:15been a quarterback award.

01:16It's basically gone to Patrick Mahomes,

01:18Aaron Rodgers and Lamar Jackson for the last several seasons.

01:21So if it's not a quarterback, it has to be Saquon Barkley.

01:25But what has to happen is Allen needs to come back

01:28to earth a little bit with just the way that they're playing.

01:31I think Goff and Jackson have had those

01:33come to earth moments a little bit,

01:34Goff at the interception game and Jackson lost

01:36to the Steelers and Eagles back to back in big games.

01:40So when we look at all that, I think it is turning

01:43toward Josh Allen, but Saquon, again,

01:45if he gets close to that all time mark,

01:47you can't deny a guy that had that kind of season

01:50in any era.
