WynnBET Sportsbook has updated their MVP odds, and the field is tightening.

Five quarterbacks are inside of +1000 for the award: Josh Allen, Kyler Murray, Dak Presscot, Matthew Stafford, and Tom Brady; but two players with double digit odds are still in the mix, and worth a bet.

Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers (+1100)

Rodgers has quietly put the Packers on his back with seven straight wins, including a shocking upset of the then-undefeated Arizona Cardinals last week down his No. 1 target, Davante Adams.

He isn't putting up the gaudy stats like last season -- he's averaging less than 30 yards per game and his completion percentage is down three percent -- but Rodgers is still leading an elite offensive unit that is in the mix for the top seed in a loaded NFC.

It's worth noting that there could be voter fatigue from last season, but Green Bay has several marquee matchups coming up against the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams, and Baltimore Ravens.

There will be opportunities for Rodgers to shine on the big stage and also lead the Packers to another No. 1 seed in the NFC. North of 10-1, Rodgers has intriguing value nearly halfway through the season.

Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens (+1800)

I think Jackson is a great bet heading into this week given the timing.

He is coming off of a bye and the last memory the public has of the Ravens is them losing to the Bengals at home by double digits. However, no player has done more with less than Jackson, who lost his top three running backs in preseason and has the team in the mix for the No. 1 seed in the AFC at 5-2.

Jackson has become a fantastic passer this season, averaging a career high 277 yards per game through the air, while still being a threat with his legs. He is putting up nearly 70 yards per game on the ground.

The Ravens QB already has two heroic comebacks against the Chiefs and Colts this season despite having a limited amount of weapons.

I love Jackson at these odds and see him climbing up the oddsboards as the season hits its final stretch
