So with last night's debacle in Kansas City, the Carr-for-MVP express seems, if not derailed, then at least refueling at the station.
Then this morning we get Bill Barnwell talking about how Ezekiel Elliott can't be MVP because he's not even the league's best back (which, he argues, is David Johnson of Arizona. He tosses in a throwaway, "Tom Brady could sneak back in if the Patriots win out to go 14-2", but then spends 1000 words on two running backs. Besides, Brady's case would be tough to make that he's been more valuable over 12 games than anyone else has been over 16, especially when his team was able to go 3-1 without him.
In any case, how are people handicapping the race right now? I can tell you how the sports betting world feels:
Ezekiel Elliott 7/2
Tom Brady 4/1
Derek Carr 7/1
Russell Wilson 7/1
Matt Ryan 8/1
Matt Stafford 10/1
Dak Prescott 12/1
Kirk Cousins 25/1
David Johnson 33/1
