00:00Let's let's look at the guys that are closer to the top or even at the top because people do want to quibble about

00:06Allen versus Lamar. I made the comment. I said it going into the break

00:09I'm not sure Lamar is the MVP of his own team and I realized that maybe that's hyperbole

00:14But it just speaks to again how incredible Derek Henry has been and and you put him on a you know

00:21More than functional offense quarterback coaching line all of it. Like I mean, yeah, he was amazing in Tennessee as well

00:28But this is a rebirth. This is a Saquon Barkley like rebirth like what he is experiencing in, Philadelphia

00:34Derek Henry is having in Baltimore not quite to the same degree, but he has been amazing and Lamar

00:41Benefiting from it as much as he is helping support it. Josh Allen doesn't have that around. He lost to Fon Diggs

00:47He lost Gabe Davis. They you know, it's it's again like they they bring in Amari Cooper

00:53who's been kind of up and down just because they don't always feature him because they're throwing a

00:58Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox

01:02Leaning on James Cook like it's all these guys how many truly you said it during the break?

01:07How many average football fans even recognize half the names that I just said the Josh Allen is relying upon

01:15Oh, by the way

01:16He is the only QB in the entire NFL who has beaten both the Chiefs and the Lions

01:23the rest of the NFL against those two teams is what like

01:27three and

01:3029 or whatever. The number is not good. Not good again. Look

01:34It's a media award. There's fatigue when it comes to voting for Lamar Jackson

01:39The media goes through this in every sport, too

01:40We were talking about this to or you could talk about the the baseball MVPs over the years, right?

01:45Even the Barry Bonds era then it goes into the pools era and then we get sick of him and then we're gonna Oh

01:49Miguel Cabrera for a couple years

01:50We're gonna vote for him and then Mike Trout as much as we can until we get bored with him and tired of him

01:54And we move on to someone else and now we're gonna be in the Otani era for the next few years

01:58I just want everybody to understand not getting out of that one. So you might as well just bet it now

02:03We'll talk more about that later, but I got to tell you it is a good year for other arguments

02:09It's a good year for an argument for it's a great year for an argument for Joe Burrow what he's done

02:13And I mean single-handedly too because he said it in week three or four in press conference

02:18We're not a championship caliber team he called out his entire we're not good and here they are

02:24right on the doorstep of sneaking back in the playoffs by the sheer will and the play of Joe Burrow and and let's not pretend

02:30Like it's anything but that because he has been spectacular and he was spectacular on Saturday as well in that contest

02:35That went to overtime against the Denver Broncos. You can make the case for golf. It's a good one

02:39You can make the case for Jaden Daniels for God's sakes who had expectations about the commanders this year. I

02:45Did I thought dance was the best quarterback you could get in the draft personally and at the same time if you told me they

02:50Were gonna win 11 or 12 games as you're I would say you were nuts

02:53There's no way they're gonna get to that level, but they're sitting on that doorstep, too

02:56So there's a lot of worthy options here

02:59But at the end of the day, it's the who is that next star that we're gonna make here. We're tired of Lamar

03:04We have voter fatigue. We're gonna go and look at Josh Allen and that's why Josh

03:08I was very deserving and I'm happy for Josh Allen and at the same time

03:11Let's also not forget the guy wins the MVP

03:15Rarely wins the Super Bowl

03:17So if you want to put that together too in your pipe or to bet it

03:20Patrick Mahomes is the outlier in the last couple years

03:23You got to start digging for a couple other names because it's been a while

03:26Before you get that consistent thing where you guy wins the MVP and that team wins the Super Bowl

03:30They rarely go hand in hand

03:32And it's something you have to think about if you have those shares for the bills and you think Josh Allen's gonna be MVP

03:37Quick correction, by the way on my part

03:39This is what happens when I get all fired up and I just start spit spit balling stats

03:43You know that type of thing that just to make Josh Allen sound even more impressive

03:47The Chiefs have one loss the Lions have two losses Josh Allen has accounted for two of those three defeats

03:53That means the rest of the NFL has one win one win against, you know, those two teams combined, which is just insane

04:00You know, Josh Allen deserves some credit for that

04:02But going back to borough and let's flash these MVP odds again

04:05Because I think this should be considered from a betting perspective now

04:11He's sitting there at plus

04:143,000 now you can debate whether or not you believe that he is a chance of winning

04:21the way I look at it Joe and I think you would agree is the only way that Joe burrow jumps up and has a

04:27Real argument a real chance is obviously if Cincinnati does make the playoffs

04:32So, you know, maybe I mean you could you could invest however you want you could invest in

04:38Burrow just to win MVP do it that way you could invest in I was looking at it here

04:42Kansas City, New York the Jets and the Bengals moneyline because that's the path to the Bengals making the playoffs Chiefs Bengals Jets

04:50Moneyline parlay you can invest in that this weekend and that'll get you, you know in the vicinity of plus

04:562,000 whatever it is

04:57So obviously you're getting better odds with burrow

05:00But if you just want to invest in that parlay and say, okay, let's just get Cincinnati in there

05:05And then we'll see what happens with burrow at that point

05:08There are ways narrative Street wise that you can play this thing if you truly believe that burrow has a chance
