• Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen had the perfect game in Week 5, further cementing his case for MVP. His 0.64 expected points added (EPA) per play was the highest single-game mark of the season so far.
• The Las Vegas Raiders gave Patrick Mahomes a tough fight on Monday Night Football, but the QB ended up strengthening his MVP bid by mounting a 17-point comeback.
• The Philadelphia Eagles offense had its worst game of the season against the Arizona Cardinals, but they escaped with a win and are staying on track for home-field advantage in the NFC, vital for Jalen Hurts’ MVP campaign.
• A $10 bet on Mahomes to win MVP would return $50 at BetMGM — qualified bettors will also get a free PFF+ subscription and $200 dollars in free bets!
