Matthew Stafford surpassed Drake Maye as the betting favorite to win MVP, but the second-year quarterback has a strong case to take home the honor before steering the New England Patriots into Super Bowl LX.

Eight of 11 writers and analysts said Maye should win MVP in an ESPN poll shared on Tuesday. Furthermore, Walder identified advantages Stafford had over Maye that make the younger quarterback’s success all the more impressive. And despite Stafford having far more support all around him and the most touchdowns in the league, Maye still delivered more efficient production.”
