The 2014 NFL football campaign is upon us, making it a great time to take a hard look at the fantasy nerd\u2019s favorite\u00a0award. \"2014Which player will make his presence\u00a0known\u00a0throughout\u00a0the league this year while\u00a0posting the most\u00a0ridiculous\u00a0numbers?<\/span><\/p>\n


\nA complete list of the 2014 NFL MVP odds, (courtesy of 5Dimes Sportsbook<\/a>)<\/em>, can be found by\u00a0scrolling to\u00a0the bottom of this post. We\u2019ll offer some MVP picks for guys we think are being offered at a considerable bargain. We went through a few of the favorites, long shots, biggest NFL stars, and guys we think have value. There\u2019s a few of the league\u2019s big names being offered at a very competitive prices. We\u2019ll also discuss which players we feel are over-priced.<\/span><\/p>\n

Advanced\u00a0Warning To NFL Fanboys<\/span>\u00a0– This is an article for bettors who are looking to make sharper value bets. NFL\u00a0Fanboys should bear in mind that when we say your favorite player is over-priced, it doesn’t mean we are disrespecting him, nor does it mean we are saying that the player\u00a0has no chance to win the MVP. We\u2019re simply stating the chances are probably less (or similar) than the books offering. Any player on this list\u00a0has a chance to win the MVP and is a top NFL player. So, there no need to go blasting the comments when reading our \u201cvalue picks for NFL MVP\u201d. If you have enlightened comments about the prices, we would love to hear them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s our take on some of the heavily bet, and not-so-heavily bet, players along with their current odds to win the MVP, heading into the 2014 NFL football campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n

Player Price With Absolutely No Value (No Value At All):<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Current Odds on Favorite: Peyton Manning (QB \u2013 Denver Broncos)
\n<\/em><\/span>Peyton Manning\u2019s 2014 Odds to win the NFL MVP: 3.6 to 1 (or +360)
\n<\/strong>It should come as no surprise that Manning is the favorite to win the 2014 NFL MVP this season due to his gaudy offensive numbers last year. Manning shattered the record books last year with 5477 yards and 55 touchdowns. Although, Peyton has the majority of his supporting cast back (in Demaryius Thomas, Julius Thomas, and Wes Welker), Eric Decker, who was 2nd in the team in receptions last year, is now a New York Jet. The Broncos are hoping that former Steeler, Emmanuel Sanders will fill the void, but it\u2019s not really an upgrade. Obviously, Denver will once again be a contender to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl, due to the inferior competition in the conference and their division. However, the AFC west D-coordinators have had their share of looks at Manning now and you better believe they had their notebooks out when they watched a rugged NFC West defense bottle him up in the Superbowl. These improving west coast squads may be better prepared to slow the Denver offense down a little bit. Throw in the fact that Manning is another year older and a bad start to the 2014 season may wear him down mentally and force him to consider retirement. Obviously, if healthy, he should put up solid numbers once again, but a 4 to 1 payout is not worth letting the books hold your money all year (while you hope Sir Peyton\u00a0can light up the league again).<\/span><\/p>\n

Player Available At Massive Price Reduction (Serious Value):<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Tom Brady (QB \u2013 New England Patriots)<\/span><\/em><\/span>
\n NFL MVP Odds For Tom Brady: 12 to 1 (or +1200)<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\n Tommy had somewhat of a down year (statistically speaking) last season, but there were lots of reasons for it; not excuses\u2026.reasons (there\u2019s a difference). An endless number of bad beats were taken by the New England Patriots, from the very start, right to the end of the 2013-14 season. Aaron Hernandez was unexpectedly\u00a0removed from the offense and thrown in the clink before the season started, our favorite youtube club dancer,\u00a0Rob Gronkowski, was injured for a better part of the season. \u00a0Brady also he had to mesh with 2 new wide receivers. Now that Gronkowski is healthy, Julian Edelman is back, and\u00a0with their young receivers (Kenbrell Thompkins\u00a0&\u00a0Aaron Dobson) having a full year of the offense under their belt, the Patriots should\u00a0be improved\u00a0this season. Not only does Brady have a slew of weapons at his disposal, but the New England\u00a0defense could feature one of\u00a0the best secondaries\u00a0in a long time, with the additions of Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner.<\/span><\/p>\n

Longshot (Give A Little, To Get A Lot) Player (Fair Value):<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

JJ Watt (DL \u2013 Houston Texans)<\/span><\/em>
\n 2014 MVP Odds For J.J. Watt: 150 to 1 (or +15000)\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>
\nIn many eyes, JJ Watt is the league’s premier defensive player. There will likely be less double teams on Watt, now that the Texans added Jadaveon Clowney on the other side of the line. If Clowney can get healthy Watt will surely make his presence known once again this year. I can\u2019t think of 15 defensive players more likely to win the MVP than Watt. The Texans, although they have concerns at the quarterback position, should be a team to be reckoned with this season with new coach Bill O’Brien at the helm. These factors, make Watt\u2019s price a bargain and definitely worth a look. 150 to 1? Why not?<\/span><\/p>\n

Two Teammates Being Sold At Tempting Prices:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

LeSean McCoy (RB) & Nick Foles (QB) – (Philadelphia Eagles)
\n<\/span><\/em>Latest 2014 NFL MVP Odds for LeSean McCoy +4000 & Nick Foles +5000<\/span><\/strong>
\n While both of these prices may look tempting, theres a lot to look at here. Philadelphia head coach Chip Kelly brought his dynamic style of offense to the NFL last season. Many thought it wouldn’t work, and early in the season Eagles fans we\u2019re cringing at their slow start. However, it was a blessing disguised when starting quarterback & turnover machine, Michael Vick was ailed by an early season hamstring injury (just early enough). Even the wise Chip Kelly didn’t expect 2nd year backup Nick Foles to execute Kelly\u2019s fast paced offense in a higher level than Vick. Even post-Vick, Foles himself was dealing with a nagging injury. Watching a third string rookie try to execute Kelly\u2019s demanding playbook made things look bleak early in the year and those loveable Philadelphia fans were all the more friendly in September last year.<\/p>\n

However, Nick showed some NFL quarterback level fortitude and got very comfortable as the season progressed. <\/span> A down year in the NFC East and a poor finish in 2012 afforded\u00a0the Eagles a weak strength of schedule. This provided\u00a0Nick Foles with a timely & smooth transition to the starting job. \u00a0A gradually improving Philadelphia D combined with Kelly\u2019s pedal-to-the-medal coaching style gave the efficient Foles the perfect opportunity get his feet wet in the NFL.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kelly began building his offense around McCoy\u2019s dynamic running attack, using some comfortable leads in games\u00a0to give his young QB the freedom to grow. \u00a0A few tough wins later, Foles was filling up the stat sheet and downright feasting on some of the league\u2019s weaker secondaries. To say he put up quality passing numbers would be an understatement. The sophomore QB was developing into a NFL-level passer and the Eagles won the NFC East.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Eagles fell short in the playoffs to the New Orleans Saints in what was a very slow game offensively. Philadelphia fans are now encouraged and believe that a full offseason under Kelly will make them an improved team & an NFC contender. However, sharp bettors can\u2019t help but take note of their 2014-15 division-winning schedule, where they will have to face defensive powerhouses like Carolina, Arizona, Seattle, & San Francisco.<\/span> To the average fan, Foles looks like a great value at 50-1, as we all know passing is what you see on ESPN highlights. But, make no mistake about it. \u00a0LeSean McCoy is the one who took them to the playoffs last year and allowed them to battle. If the Eagles are going to survive this schedule and Nick Foles is going to continue to develop as passer while having to go through some of the league\u2019s elite pass-rushing rosters, you better believe that it\u2019s going to be their horse in LeSean McCoy that gets both the Eagles & young Nick Foles out the other side. At this price, McCoy is worth a look.<\/span><\/p>\n

Player Who Just Might\u00a0Surprise You (Value):<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Jay Cutler (QB \u2013 Chicago Bears)<\/span><\/em>
\n 2014 NFL MVP Odds for Jay Cutler: 25 to 1 (or +2500)<\/span><\/strong>
\n For starters, there\u2019s always the \u201cCan Jay Cutler stay healthy?\u201d question that is asked regularly. It\u00a0seems to be the only thing that is keeping him from being a top-tier quarterback (that and his crappy attitude). Cutler probably has the most feared wide receiver tandem in Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery. In Marc Trestman’s second year, he has implemented a solid running game and more quick throws for Cutler, keeping him on his feet and taking a lot fewer hits. \u00a0The Bear’s have also made a number of key acquisitions to patch up a\u00a0defense that underperformed last year. \u00a0The Bears might be in for a\u00a0very surprising season, and clearly, their success and failure\u00a0rests on Jay Cutler’s health. With Cutler &\u00a0the Bears playing\u00a0one of the weaker defensive conferences, he\u00a0is\u00a0worth a shot at these odds to win what is\u00a0a largely stat based award.<\/span><\/p>\n

Player With Something To Prove at an Opportune Time (Best Value):<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Colin Kaepernick (QB \u2013 San Francisco 49ers)<\/span><\/em>
\n Odds to win the MVP for Colin Kaepernick: 30 to 1 (or +3000)<\/span><\/strong>
\n The real reason nobody would have considered 2nd year starter Colin Kaepernick for NFL MVP last season was not because he didn’t win games or wasn’t effective. There was no lack of big plays from young Colin Kaepernick. \u00a0In fact, he won a lot of games against very good teams. The reason he wasn’t an MVP candidate was because he didn’t put up gaudy passing numbers. \u00a0After all, the regular-season MVP award, is about passing yards and touchdowns for quarterbacks\u00a0(it’s a media-based award).<\/p>\n

In 2013, the 49ers game plan was very ball-controlled, run-heavy due to their defensive dominance, lack of a deep receiving threat (due to Michael Crabtree’s 10-week injury), and a brutal division-winning schedule (in the NFC West). Colin Kaepernick would have quite a few games where he’d play well and do it with his legs & his arm. \u00a0In those games, he’d finish the game with passing yards total fewer than\u00a0200 yards. \u00a0This tends to get the\u00a0public (even the east coast media who doesn’t see\u00a0the game) into thinking Kaepernick\u00a0isn’t effective as a passer; which couldn’t be further from the truth.<\/p>\n

This year, the 49ers defense has already been hit with\u00a0a few setbacks early in pre-season. \u00a0A healthy Michael Crabtree lined up along side\u00a0Anquan Boldin & Vernon Davis, as well as new additions in Steve Johnson &\u00a0Brandon Lloyd (fighting for the 3rd wide receiver spot) will provide Kaepernick with a lot more receiving options as well as\u00a0strong running game and returning o-line to give him time to throw. There is also a some young talent like Quinton Patton and rookie speedster Bruce Ellington. With all these weapons at his disposal and a\u00a0that needs some time to re-gel, a frustrated Jim Harbaugh may be inclined to open up the offense a lot this year and not take his foot off gas pedal.
