Patriots’ Drake Maye Boosts MVP Odds After Stafford Struggles
The upcoming matchup between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants on “Monday Night Football” is highlighted by quarterback Drake Maye’s rise in the MVP race. Following a disappointing performance by fellow quarterback Matthew Stafford of the Los Angeles Rams, Maye’s odds have significantly improved.
Drake Maye’s MVP Odds Surge
As Week 13 approached, Drake Maye’s odds to secure the MVP award were listed at +220. This placed him just behind Matthew Stafford, who initially held the top spot with odds of -220.
Stafford’s Struggles Against Carolina
- Matthew Stafford’s performance against the Carolina Panthers severely impacted his MVP odds.
- The Rams lost the game with a final score of 31-28.
- Stafford threw for 243 yards, registering two touchdowns, but also recorded two interceptions and lost a fumble.
These struggles caused Stafford’s MVP odds to plummet from -220 to -110. In contrast, Maye’s chances strengthened, with new odds now at +150.
Implications of Maye’s Performance
If Maye can deliver a standout performance against the Giants, he could become the frontrunner for the MVP award. His priority remains to secure a victory, which would put the Patriots in a better playoff position.
With potential accolades on the horizon, the entire team’s focus will be on achieving a successful season.
