Aaron Rodgers is going into 2022 with a new contract after repeating as MVP. Although he’s back in Green Bay a lot has changed this off-season. The Packers traded Davante Adams and spent their first round picks improving the defense. They also added rookie Christian Watson to the wide receiver room. Regardless of all of these changes, Aaron Rodgers finds himself with the third best odds of winning MVP in 2022.
Rodgers +1000 Odds
*Odds According to DraftKings*
Rodgers is not the favorite to win the award again, but is right in the mix. Aaron Rodgers enters the season with the fourth best odds at +1000. Ahead of him are Josh Allen, Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes. Josh Allen leads the pack with +700 odds while Brady and Mahomes come in at +800 and +900 respectfully. Brady finished second in MVP voting behind Rodgers last season collecting 10 votes. The last player to win three straight MVP awards was actually Rodgers’ predecessor, Brett Favre.
Dark Horse Candidates to Dethrone Rodgers
The only player to collect a vote last season besides Rodgers or Brady was Cooper Kupp. Kupp begins the season with +6000 odds. Although he isn’t an early favorite, Kupp with Stafford as his trigger man can definitely give Rodgers some competition for the award.
Lamar Jackson is another name that comes to mind. Lamar Jackson was the last player to win MVP not named Aaron Rodgers. Jackson’s 2021 was plagued with injury like much of the Ravens roster. In 2022 Jackson will have all his weapons back at his disposal. Jackson has the talent to be the MVP once again, and is playing to earn a new contract.
