"Stafford entered the Rams' Monday Night Football matchup against the Falcons still holding pole position across several sportsbooks as the odds-on favorite for league MVP. But that sentiment changed in short order after Stafford imploded in the first half - completing just 9-of-17 passes for 96 yards and two interceptions, including a pick-six. Atlanta held a 21-0 lead at halftime, and eventually withstood a Rams second-half surge to hold onto a 27-24 win."
"Stafford entered Monday as the favorite to win NFL MVP at -250. But after that loss to the Falcons went final, Maye is now leading the pack at -550, per FanDuel. Stafford, who closed out his night completing 22-of-36 passes for 269 yards, two touchdowns, and three picks, now sits in second place in MVP odds at +420 on FanDuel."
"DraftKings Sportsbook also now has Maye in the lead at -400, with Stafford ranked second at +300. Stafford's odds dropped all the way to -115 on DraftKings after that he was knocked for a pick-six courtesy of Jessie Bates III , with Maye jumping ahead as the favorite at -175 after Stafford's second interception of the first half. Even though Stafford and the Rams did claw back in the second half and erased Atlanta's three-touchdown lead, it was too little, too late."
