Drake Maye Overtakes Matthew Stafford as MVP Favorite Entering Week 18

DraftKings now gives the Patriots rookie roughly an 80% chance following Week 17 swings.

Overview

  • DraftKings lists Drake Maye at -400 and Matthew Stafford at +300 in updated MVP odds ahead of the final weekend.
  • A five-touchdown outing by Maye against the Jets and a three-interception loss for Stafford on Monday night drove the market flip.
  • Analysts describe the award as Maye's to lose unless he has a late collapse, with Stafford needing a standout finale and help.
  • Stafford remains the NFL's lone quarterback to surpass 40 touchdown passes this season, a key pillar of his résumé.
  • Cam Newton publicly argued for Myles Garrett as MVP, though the 22-sack leader plays for a 4-12 Browns team and remains a long shot.
