Overview
- DraftKings lists Drake Maye at -295 and Matthew Stafford at +225 entering the final weekend, reflecting a late shift after Week 17.
- Maye leads key efficiency metrics, has topped 4,600 scrimmage yards with 30 passing touchdowns and four rushing scores, and has guided New England to the AFC East title with a path to the No. 1 seed if Denver loses.
- Stafford enters Week 18 with an NFL‑best 42 touchdown passes and 4,448 yards, second in the league, with eight interceptions on the season.
- The odds moved after Maye threw five touchdowns against the Jets in Week 17, while Stafford threw two touchdowns and three interceptions in a loss to the Falcons.
- Stafford says he is not focused on MVP talk as the Rams plan to play their starters against the Cardinals, and ESPN notes he would be the oldest first‑time MVP if he wins.
