SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- As it turns out, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy's endorsement for Most Valuable Player doesn't carry quite as much weight as his play.

Which is why, less than 24 hours after Purdy declared that Niners running back Christian McCaffrey should win the award, it was Purdy himself who emerged as the clear favorite to take it home.

As of Tuesday evening, Purdy was a -215 favorite to win MVP, according to ESPN Bet. He's the first odds-on favorite in the MVP market all season.
