00:00Let's talk that MVP market and dive through the numbers where they currently stand. Again,

00:05the Chiefs are just a minus 120 Moneyline favorite, but still, Kansas City expected,

00:10even ever so slightly, Joe, to win their third consecutive Lombardi trophy. If that happens,

00:16more than likely Patrick Mahomes wins his fourth Super Bowl MVP award in his career.

00:23Saquon Barkley, a shorter price than that of his quarterback at plus 280.

00:28Jalen Hurts, a plus 350 number, and a large drop-off to Travis Kelsey. Joe, we can talk value

00:35in just a moment, but let's start with the top of the odds board and those three prices. Mahomes

00:40for KC, Barkley and Hurts for Philadelphia. I ask you a two-part question. If Kansas City wins

00:47Super Bowl 59, does Patrick Mahomes win the Super Bowl MVP award? If Philadelphia wins Super Bowl

00:5459, who do you think has the edge in terms of MVP consideration, Saquon or Jalen?

01:01Yeah, I think both are correlated, right? I think it goes without saying.

01:06Mahomes, if Kansas City is going to be successful, with the lack of the running game,

01:11it's going to be based upon Patrick Mahomes throwing the ball, which puts him in the driver's

01:16seat for the MVP, right? However, it's Philadelphia where the value lies, because while this is most

01:23often a quarterback award, Ben, we all know this, and listen, Jalen Hurts, there was an argument to

01:30be made a couple years ago where he might have been the most valuable player in a losing effort

01:34there against Kansas City. He was that good, but we have not seen that version of Jalen Hurts

01:41in a while, certainly not a lot this season. I think Philadelphia, it's all about Saquon.

01:47Can Barkley get it done on the ground or catching the ball out of the backfield, which I also think

01:55is not talked about enough, his ability and his hands in the passing game. I think Barkley, for me,

02:02if I'm backing Philadelphia, I'm backing Barkley as my MVP, not Jalen Hurts, but Mahomes

02:10is Mahomes. There's no way you can bet against him if Kansas City wins this game.
