NFL MVP odds: Brady high on betting lines

The oldest player to win the NFL MVP Award was Tom Brady in 2017 when he won it for the third time in his career. Of course, those all came as a member of the New England Patriots. Last week, Brady left New England in free agency for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They have never had an NFL MVP or really even come close – shoot, they have never had a true franchise quarterback until now.

Could Brady in 2020 become only the second player to win the award four times, joining former rival Peyton Manning (5)? Considering Brady will be 43 when the season begins, that’s very, very unlikely but he’s only +1400 to do it. Brady will have arguably the best receiving duo he has ever had in Pro Bowlers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans, both of whom exceeded 1,000 yards receiving a year ago with a much more inaccurate quarterback in Jameis Winston.

Speaking of receivers, one has never won the NFL MVP Award, which is moderately surprising considering some of the historic seasons put up by the likes of Jerry Rice, Calvin Johnson and Julio Jones
