Peyton Manning is at the top of the list and there should be no surprise there. Everyone expects the Broncos to have another exceptional year with the moves that they have made in the offseason. If they are able to run through the regular season again, then Peyton will have a solid shot at winning the MVP. The AFC West does have to face the NFC West this season though, so it could be a more difficult run.

The other quarterbacks at the top of the list all make sense. They are the top quarterbacks in the league: Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Tom Brady and Andrew Luck. Can’t go wrong in thinking that one of them will win the award.

One quarterback that is a little surprising is Jay Cutler. Cutler is 20/1 odds to win the MVP, placing him right after Andrew Luck. The people in Vegas must be expecting great things from the Chicago Bears and Jay Cutler.
