Jordan Love Given Interesting Odds To Win NFL MVP

 

For years, some Green Bay Packers fans have been on the fence about Jordan Love.

He has been a controversial figure for most of his career, especially since he took over as Aaron Rodgers’ successor.

However, numbers don’t lie, and his numbers this season have been pretty solid.

That’s why it’s not much of a surprise to see him being a top-three MVP candidate right now.

As reported by RJ Ochoa of SB Nation, FanDuel has the Packers’ quarterback as the third-leading MVP candidate with +850 odds.

He’s behind only Josh Allen (+125) and Patrick Mahomes (+650), respectively.

The fact that he’s third on the list despite not even playing in Week 5 and having a 2-1-1 record should say everything people need to know about Love’s play this season.

The young quarterback is currently on pace to throw for well over 4,300 passing yards, 34 touchdowns, and just four interceptions.

Of course, that last stat might not be sustainable throughout the course of a full season, especially considering his tendency to put the ball in harm’s way.

Then again, he’s been much better in that aspect of the game this season, and his overall decision-making and recognition of coverage have been significantly improved.

The Packers have more than enough weapons at his disposal, and he’s about to get star WR Christian Watson back from his ACL injury.

Jayden Reed will also return at some point in the season.

And with rookie speedster Matthew Golden getting settled in, Tucker Kraft and Romeo Doubs dominating, and the offensive line getting healthy to protect him and block for Josh Jacobs, you have to like his MVP chances.
