00:00MVP, it's Allen this week at plus 150.

00:03After beating the Chiefs, he is the favorite.

00:05Lamar Jackson is two to one.

00:07Jared Goff is six to one.

00:09And then there is a gap between everybody else.

00:12In fact, Mahomes has even slipped to 14

00:16since we went and did that.

00:17So I heard you and Gabe talking about this earlier.

00:21I don't believe in superstitions and ghosts

00:26and all this other stuff that goes on

00:29with guys who win awards.

00:31Josh Allen is the leader.

00:33He should be the leader right now for the NFL MVP,

00:36especially when you consider the turnover in roster

00:40that the Bills did this year.

00:42And he has them back right where they are at nine and two.

00:45So that's how I feel about that.

00:46You want him to win it, right?

00:49I want him to win it, that's for sure.

00:51For more reasons than one, let's just say.

00:53For more reasons than one, I would like him to win it.

00:56There may be some tickets on him.

01:00I don't think it's the President's Cup in hockey

01:03being the MVP of the NFL.

01:05I mean, look at Rodgers.

01:07He won four of them.

01:08And I think his career is judged on those four

01:11more than the Super Bowl win over the Steelers.

01:14I really do.

01:15You win four MVPs, you're a badass.

01:17I think Josh Allen needs one of them

01:19and I don't buy any of that other stuff

01:21about jinxes or anything.

01:23Yeah, and look, we've seen this in the NBA

01:26with Zambid and Joker.

01:28There's sometimes, you know, these voters

01:32sometimes don't like to give it to the same guy every year.

01:35And if there's two guys who are closer, neck and neck,

01:38they would go.

01:39So Lamar's there with them.

01:40I personally think, and this is not me being home,

01:42I think Allen's had a better year than Lamar, he just has.

01:45But if it's close,

01:46I don't think they'd give Lamar a third one.

01:48I think that they would give it to Allen

01:50before they give him another.

01:51So that's, and they do think that way.

01:53I know people go, that shouldn't be that way.

01:55Well, guess what?

01:56These are human beings, it is.

01:57They do factor it in,

01:59giving it to the same guy over and over again.

02:01It does get played into their head.

02:03Unless the guy's head and shoulders away.

02:05He's been better.

02:06He's been better than Lamar Jackson.

02:09Lamar looked real average against the Steelers.

02:11Again, he struggles with that defense.

02:14And then you watch Josh Allen

02:17running all over the Kansas City Chiefs,

02:21scoring touchdowns, running sideways,

02:24making plays and he's doing it every week.

02:27It doesn't matter who they play.

02:28He just gets it done.

02:30And I think he is better.

02:31And you know what?

02:32He's been better than Mahomes.

02:34He's been better than everybody.

02:36Mahomes, they went to nine and O

02:37and he had like real average numbers.

02:40They weren't doing anything spectacular at all.

02:43Meanwhile, Allen was doing everything.

02:45I think he should have been the MVP leader for weeks now.

02:50And now Mahomes is where he should be after the loss.

02:53I think they kept Mahomes up there

02:54because they were undefeated.

02:55Now that he's lost the game,

02:57he's been buried back there in the middle

02:58with everybody else.
