2021 NFL MVP Odds: Tom Brady, Josh Allen Favored over Kyler Murray Entering Week 10

Tom Brady and Josh Allen are leading the way in the MVP race this season. 

Well, at least according to the DraftKings Sportsbook, which has the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback (+350) and Buffalo Bills signal-caller (+350) atop the pack. Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (+750) rounds out the top three:

Brady, 44, leads the NFL in touchdown passes (25), is second in passing yards (2,650), 10th in completion percentage (67.3 percent) and has thrown just five interceptions and taken only 12 sacks. The Bucs are 6-2 and remain one of the NFL's top contenders as they look to repeat as Super Bowl champions. 

If Brady keeps up his torrid pace, he would finish with 53 touchdown passes, setting a career high and finishing with the second-most in NFL history (Peyton Manning threw 55 touchdown passes in 2013). 

He's also on pace to throw for 5,631 yards, which would easily be a career high. He's only exceeded 5,000 passing yards once in his career (5,235 yards in 2011). So it's easy to see why Brady is one of the two frontrunners for the MVP award at this point in the season. 

But don't sleep on the 25-year-old Allen. He's eighth in passing yards (2,236), tied for seventh in passing touchdowns (17), has been intercepted just five times and sacked 12 times. 

He also brings a different dynamic to the Bills offense, however, with 319 rushing yards and three scores on the ground. Under his watch, Buffalo has started the season 5-3. 

Like Allen, the 24-year-old Murray is a dual-threat weapon. He's seventh in passing yards (2,276) and tied for seventh in passing touchdowns (17), though he's been intercepted seven times, sacked 17 times and missed this past Sunday's game with an ankle injury. 

Murray, who rushed for 819 yards and 11 scores last season, isn't anywhere close to that pace this year, with 147 rushing yards and three scores. But the Cardinals won't care. Last year, they were 8-8. This year, they're 8-1. 

Whatever Murray is doing, it's working. The Cardinals are a major title contender in his third year.
