The online sportsbook thegreek.com has posted 2010 NFL MVP odds, which I have posted below. (Note: thegreek.com does not specify what MVP award is being wagered upon, just that it is the "NFL MVP award." The Associated Press gives out an NFL MVP award annually, as does Pro Football Weekly and the Professional Football Writers of America.)
Here are the 2010 NFL MVP odds at thegreek.com:
Aaron Rodgers +1200
Adrian Peterson +1800
Andre Johnson +3000
Brandon Marshall +5000
Brett Favre +1500
Calvin Johnson +6000
Carson Palmer +3000
Chad Henne +3000
Chris Johnson +1000
Darrelle Revis +2500
DeAngelo Williams +2500
Donovan McNabb +1800
Drew Brees +500
Eli Manning +2000
Frank Gore +2000
Joe Flacco +2000
Larry Fitzgerald +2800
Mark Sanchez +1800
Matt Ryan +1800
Matt Schaub +1800
Matthew Stafford +6000
Maurice Jones Drew +1500
Michael Turner +2800
Peyton Manning +650
Phillip Rivers +1500
Randy Moss +3000
Tom Brady +800
Tony Romo +1500
Field +650
My first reaction is that Aaron Rodgers (+1200) looks like good value: the Packers look like one of the prime contenders in the NFC, and Rodgers has played very well in two seasons as the starter. Tony Romo (+1500) also holds some appeal; if the Cowboys run away with the division, his candidacy could be strong.
Of course, those who pick Drew Brees (the favorite at +500), Tom Brady or Peyton Manning to capture MVP honors can't be faulted; all are strong candidates, and all have track records of success.
The 2010 Heisman Trophy odds have been discussed quite a bit early this week (see here and here). Nothing likesome future-book odds to pass the time as football season nears.
