The folks at Bovada have unveiled their first round of MVP odds for the 2018 NFL season, and naturally, Jimmy Garoppolo is high on the list. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback is installed at 20/1 odds, tied with Cam Newton, Matt Ryan, and Deshaun Watson. They come in at No. 6 behind Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Carson Wentz, Drew Brees, and Russell Wilson. I don’t think anybody would be surprised those five names top the list.
The 49ers defense needs to step up in a big way, but quarterbacks win MVP awards.
