In what is a surprise to no one, Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry and quarterback Ryan Tannehill are being given the best odds of any players on the team to take home the league’s Most Valuable Player award in 2021.
According to BetMGM, Henry is +2500 to take home the honor, tied for the 10th-best odds of any NFL player, along with Carolina Panthers rusher, Christian McCaffrey.
Tannehill comes in right behind Henry at +3000, tying him with Los Angeles Chargers quarterback, Justin Herbert.
That all sounds about right after both players had phenomenal seasons in 2020. Tannehill proved his 2019 campaign was no fluke, and Henry made history after breaking the 2,000-yard mark.
Henry should have at least received more recognition for the award, and at most won it. Instead, he was completely snubbed and didn’t receive a single MVP vote. He did take home AP Offensive Player of the Year, though.
While wide receiver A.J. Brown isn’t even listed on BetMGM’s MVP odds page, he certainly should be considering other wide receivers made the cut.
Granted, a wide receiver winning it is has never happened, but Brown has the ability to put up video-game-like numbers on a weekly basis, so he has as good a chance as any to break the mold
