"It took second-year Patriots quarterback Drake Maye less than 30 career NFL games to emerge as a serious contender for the league's Most Valuable Player award. After Monday's performance against the Giants, Maye has overtaken Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford as the odds-on favorite to win the MVP, according to multiple sports-books including DraftKings and FanDuel. Maye entered last week with the second best odds behind Stafford, but a 24-for-31 passing, 282 yard performance with two touchdowns and no turnovers helped him leapfrog the Los Angeles quarterback."
"So Maye has a slight statistical bump compared to other quarterbacks who have played 12 games or fewer. Nevertheless, he is leading the league in passing yards (3,412) and quarterback rating (111.9). He is second in completion percentage (71.5) and yards per completion (8.8). The Patriots are riding a league-best 10-game winning streak and have a chance to clinch the AFC East with a win against Buffalo when they return to action on Dec. 14."
Drake Maye, a second-year Patriots quarterback, has risen to become the odds-on favorite for the NFL Most Valuable Player award after a standout performance.
