SportsLine NFL analyst Josh Nagel gives his analysis and recommended plays for MVP and other season-long NFL awards

Drake Maye’s historic Year 2 surge has him atop MVP odds, but one Patriots legend surprisingly hopes he doesn’t win.

If New England continues its winning streak after the Week 14 bye, more support for Maye's MVP case will come. New England plays the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens in Weeks 15 and 16. If Maye wins both of those games for the Pats, he might have the MVP locked up before the No. 1 seed.

Who's your favorite: the veteran Rams signal caller who's having arguably his best season, or the young Patriots QB who has won 10 straight?

Here's a look at the latest NFL MVP odds and why the Cowboys' Dak Prescott has a better case to win the race than you might think.

With a 3-touchdown game against the Cardinals, Matthew Stafford is once again the betting favorite to win MVP.

The Pittsburgh Steelers didn't imagine being 6-6 entering the final stretch when they signed Aaron Rodgers in the offseason.

Matthew Stafford moves into the No. 1 spot in our MVP power rankings after lighting up the Bucs on Sunday Night Football.

No wide receiver is having a better year than the Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: he leads the NFL with 1,336 yards receiving in 2025, putting him on pace for 1,892 yards, which would rank as the third most in a single season. That total is buoyed by Smith-Njigba producing at least 75 yards receiving in each of the first 11 games of 2025.

With a bludgeoning of the New York Giants on Monday night, the New England Patriots moved to 11-2, the best record in the NFL, and Drake Maye leapfrogged Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford to become a minus-odds favorite to win NFL MVP.

One prominent figure who has a ton of confidence in what the Texans have to offer is former league MVP Matt Ryan, who had a ton of positive things to say about what Houston, and more particularly, C.J. Stroud, had shown in Week 13 to offer some real confidence for what lies ahead.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — As the final seconds ticked off the clock, a frustrated Baker Mayfield lingered on the bench for a moment before standing and making his way to the Tampa Bay locker room. Sunday's 24-20 loss to lowly division rival New Orleans dropped the Buccaneers (7-6) into a tie with Carolina for first place in the NFC South.
