00:00Tom, let's look at the MVP odds here. And there's some real plus money opportunity. I'll give you

00:04the candidates, I'll give you their situations, and I'll let you roll. At the top is Matthew

00:08Stafford. He's plus 135. He'll have the Bucs, Carolina, Arizona, Detroit, and Seattle, his next

00:14five. Then there's Drake May, plus 175. Cincinnati, the Giants, Buffalo, Baltimore, and the Jets.

00:21Maybe we just kind of have the conversation right here. Stafford, plus 135. Drake May, plus 175.

00:25What does Drake May need to do to take over? So when it comes to the MVP market, I have a lot

00:34of thoughts about it. And I would say, you know, you missed the best number on both of these guys

00:38because, you know, 50 to 1, 100 to 1, whatever they were earlier in the season or preseason,

00:43obviously those numbers are far gone. But, you know, to me, Drake May, I think he's the one that

00:48will win it. And you asked what he has to do. The number one seed, being the number one seed,

00:54and really just the improvement that the Pats have had season to season, the raw level of talent,

00:59Mike Frable coming in, adding all these pieces, and pushing Drake May forward in his development,

01:04going from a, I don't want to say a bottom of the barrel team last year, but a low-tier team

01:09last year to the number one seed. That is a massive, massive jump. And securing that number one seed

01:14along the way of who he's done or who he's beaten and taken down Josh Allen, if they end up winning

01:18the division, that is something that you can put, not an asterisk like that, you give them a gold star

01:23for that, essentially, and something just to bolster the resume. And that's something that

01:26we need to buy into. Stafford, although he started off the season kind of shaky because of the back

01:31injury that he had, he's also having a fantastic season. But Drake May doing so in his second year,

01:37I think is very, very impressive.
