In a season with more offense than we’ve ever seen through five weeks, the NFL’s most electric offensive player is now even money (+100) to win league MVP.
A $100 bet on Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson wins you $100 at PointsBet Sportsbook.
Sheesh.
Seattle survived on Sunday Night Football with an insane two-minute drill piloted by Wilson in the fourth quarter. The Seahawks took over on their own six-yard line trailing Minnesota 26-21. Wilson drove his team 94 yards down the field in a minute and 42 seconds for the game-winning score.[[ad:athena]]
It was far from his best statistical game, but it was definitely an MVP moment on national television with millions of people watching around the country.
Wilson rose from +188 to +100 at PointsBet while Aaron Rodgers remained on the two line at +300. His price didn’t change at all with the Packers on their bye week. Patrick Mahomes slid from +320 to +550 after Kansas City’s loss to Oakland as a 10.5-point favorite.
After the big three, it’s Josh Allen (+1000), Lamar Jackson (+1600) and Ben Roethlisberger (+2500). Tom Brady and Kyler Murray are both +3000 then Baker Mayfield, who was the biggest riser from +6600 to +4000. PointsBet raised Deshaun Watson from +6600 to +5000 after Houston’s first win. Teddy Bridgewater entered the team photo at +8000, giving him the same odds as Derrick Henry.
Cam Newton was the biggest faller from +3300 to +8000. Drew Brees fell quite a bit too from +5000 to +9000 after another mediocre Monday night performance. Brees watched from the sidelines as Taysom Hill scored a late game-tying touchdown with his legs.
And Dak Prescott is now off the board after suffering a gruesome ankle injury.
