Russell Wilson has led the Seattle Seahawks to four close victories. What isn\u2019t close is his hold on the NFL MVP race ahead of Sunday night\u2019s game at the Arizona Cardinals.<\/p>\n

Wilson has led Seattle to a 5-0 start on the strength of a league-leading 129.8 passer rating, 19 touchdown passes, and 8.9 yards per attempt. His Seahawks are a 3.5-point favorite for the primetime matchup against their NFC West rivals.<\/p>\n

MVP Race<\/h2>\n

At BetMGM, Wilson opened the season at +600 to win his first MVP. Now, he\u2019s a commanding -130 at BetMGM, and -125 at DraftKings.<\/p>\n

At this point, there\u2019s not much reason to throw any money on Wilson.<\/p>\n

Yeah, they would lay it if he thought he was locked in. But I don\u2019t think he\u2019s locked in yet,\u201d <\/strong>said Johnny Avello, the director of race and sportsbook operations for DraftKings, to Casino.org<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got guys behind him like Aaron Rodgers, who\u2019s having a good year, although they lost their last game and it wasn\u2019t his best game. You\u2019ve got Patrick Mahomes at 4\/1. Then it widens out. It\u2019s double-digits on everybody. Lamar Jackson is 16. Derrick Henry, running backs usually don\u2019t win this award \u2013 it\u2019s an award won by quarterbacks, for the most part \u2013 but he\u2019s 25\/1. But, who knows?\u201d <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wilson\u2019s counterpart, Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray, is in the mix as well. Here are the MVP odds at BetMGM.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Seattle QB Russell Wilson: -130.<\/li>\n
  • Kansas City QB Patrick Mahomes: +550<\/li>\n
  • Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers: +600<\/li>\n
  • Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson: +1,800<\/li>\n
  • Pittsburgh QB Ben Roethlisberger: +2,000<\/li>\n
  • Tampa Bay QB Tom Brady: +2,000<\/li>\n
  • Tennessee RB Derrick Henry: +2,000<\/li>\n
  • Arizona QB Kyler Murray: +2,200<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \u201cThere are some outsiders with some value,\u201d DraftKings\u2019 Avello said.<\/p>\n

    As for the Game \u2026<\/h2>\n

    Seattle opened as 3-point favorites against the Cardinals (4-2). It quickly moved to 3.5, and that\u2019s where it stayed all week. As the early games got under way, Seattle had 71 percent of the bets and 69 percent of the spread money.<\/p>\n

    \u201cSeattle\u2019s grabbing the money across the number 3, which is a key number,\u201d <\/strong>Avello said. \u201cThe early money is an indicator that the Seahawks are going to be bet all the way up to game time.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    After a bye, Wilson has a 6-1 record. If he throws four touchdown passes, he\u2019d become the third quarterback in NFL history with at least 250 touchdown passes in his first nine seasons. The others are Peyton Manning and Dan Marino.<\/p>\n

    Arizona receiver Larry Fitzgerald needs one reception to join Jerry Rice as the only players with 1,400 career catches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
