How Russ Holds Up Against MVP Odds

Believe it or not, Wilson has never received any sort of MVP vote in his career despite being a nine-time Pro Bowler and finishing in the top-4 in Offensive Player of the Year voting four times. He has had plenty of MVP-caliber seasons as well having put up either 4,000+ passing yards or 30+ passing touchdowns in six of his last seven seasons.

This could certainly be Russ’s year, especially with the expectations given to him by online sportsbooks. Wilson has a major affect on the Broncos Super Bowl odds after he was traded having brought them down from +2100 before the trade to their current spot at +1400 after the trade.

If Wilson were to win the MVP this season, he would join some elite company in John Elway, Terrell Davis, and Peyton Manning as just the fourth Broncos player to win the MVP. Something that is worth noting is that after Peyton Manning moved over to the Broncos in 2012, he received MVP votes right away before winning the award during his second season with the team.
