The last—and only—time a Detroit Lions player won the AP NFL Most Valuable Player award was back in 1997, when Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders became the third running back ever to eclipse 2,000 rushing yards in a season.
If you’re the betting type, you might be thinking, “Well, I guess the Detroit Lions are due.”
Extremely flawed thinking aside, Westgate SuperBook released their 2019 NFL MVP odds, and Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford was among the slimmest odds. He currently sits at 80-to-1 odds, which ranks him tied for the 15th-best odds in the entire NFL.
