Drake Maye with another great performance. The race gets tighter with another good game and a big letdown by Stafford. But…is now the time to buy low on Stafford? +125 current price. The Rams have a few tricky games left on the schedule. Will it come down to overall stats or the final seeding and overall record? Will Maye be discredited some for having a very easy schedule? And how much does Mayes rushing stats play into his MVP candidacy? This to me is one of the most interesting markets on the board at the moment.

Tonight Drake Maye passes for 282 yards, two touchdowns no INT and has 126.0 QB rating. He might have passed Matthew Stafford, who lost the game yesterday with 2 INTs, as the MVP front runner.

dont think its that close unless you consider that stafford is on a better team. rams have played one of the toughest schedules while pats have played the weakest or next to weakest. also stafford 32 tds 4 ints, maye 23 tds 6 ints. stafford has played houston, philly, indy, 49ers twice, jaguars, ravens, seattle, and tampa. maye has played bills and tampa, those are the only teams he's played with a winning record while stafford has played 7 teams with a winning record, 8 if you count 9ers twice. no you can't help who you play but if you play such a weaker schedule then your numbers have to exceed the guy with the much tougher schedule by a bit

on 2nd thought I think maye has a legit shot since the key word is valuable. I dont think pats are 11-2 if you replaced maye with stafford. I just dont. while you could stick a number of qbs on that rams team and they would thrive prob not have 32 tds and 4 ints at this point but excel immensely, mush like purdy did a couple years ago in that niners offense and he finished 4th in voting.

I agree that Maye has been the MVP of his team, maybe his conference. The question is whether the voters care more about the difficulty of schedule, no. 1 seed, overall record, etc.
I agree that Stafford has the tougher road and certainly the tougher division/conference. In my opinion what Stafford is doing is more impressive. The let down game was inevitable. Won’t be surprised if Maye has one too. Another question is if Maye will even need to play in week 18. If he rests and Stafford plays the stats will become more lopsided.
The result to me may hinge on the Rams/Seahawks game. But I think you’re getting excellent value on Stafford at +125.

While I don't want to overreact to last week's games I do like Maye to win this coin flip. The things he has to overcome (Stafford being a household name and vet, strength of schedule/division) are less tangible than what he has actually accomplished and I think that will matter as in this era of analytics and AI cold hard facts matter more.
Last year Josh Allen won it despite only being like 9th in passing yards. His 600+ rush yards obviously factored in but that was not the highest amongst QBs he was a few spots behinf Hurts in overall rush yards list (including RBs etc). But he also had the 2nd lowest interception %.
This year Stafford despite the last game has the 5th lowest, and Maye is 15th at 1.6. but last season he was 31st of 39 QBs at 3%.
So basically he has similarly improved his INTs like Allen did and can continue to close the gap on Stafford in the last month. Also, similar to Allen last year, he is a few spots behind Jalen Hurts on the rushing yards list currently.
Combine that with being number one in the NFL currently in pass yards, 3rd least sacked, number one in completion percentage and number 2 in yards per pass thrown, all better numbers than Allen had last year, right now he has my vote and should have everyone's, no matter what division he plays in. If you want to talk what aboutery, what about the WRs Stafford has woth Nacua and Adams vs most fans wouldn't know anyone on NE besides Diggs. Maye is spreading it around to guys like Henry, Hollins, Boutte etc it's very impressive to be leading in so many stats.

Good points except for the sacks. Drake is the 3rd most sacked quarterback in the league, not the 3rd least. But maybe that gives him an even stronger case?

The thing about this award is that the week to week results are so critical and the odds could change so drastically just by one outcome. So right now I would assume the value is on Stafford. Maye has a bye next week and LA faces the cardinals so that’s a big deal. If Stafford carves up AZ and throws 3-4 more TDs and no interceptions I would imagine they both hover around the +100/-110 price range.
To me, -135 right now on Maye is robbery. +125 on Stafford is on sale and a really good bargain. Stafford won’t be able to afford another stinker and Maye certainly can’t have any slip ups. I still expect the TD/INT ratio to favor Stafford by years end. The yardage is up in the air, Maye might run away with that. Rushing yards/TDs are obviously not going to be close.
