- Bovada.lv released their odds for the 2016 NFL MVP and Matthew Stafford is ranked curiously low compared to other quarterbacks in the league. Stafford is listed at 100:1 odds to win the award, while Andrew Luck (12:1), Derek Carr (50:1), Blake Bortles (66:1), Brock Osweiler (66:1) and Matt Ryan (66:1) are all significantly favored. The odds rank Stafford as the 18th-most likely quarterback to win MVP (along with Teddy Bridgewater, Jameis Winston, Joe Flacco, Marcus Mariota, Alex Smith and Kirk Cousins).
