Going into the week, Dak Prescott held +600 chances for the MVP– routing just Purdy and Jackson.
That dream is fading alarmingly quickly.
Following a last-second 22-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins, Prescott has actually dipped to +2000. He didn’t play severely– even leading a consent goal drive in the 4th quarter– the problem suggests the Dallas Cowboys are not likely to win the NFC East.
Not given that 2012 (Adrian Peterson) has a gamer from a non-division champ won an MVP, and just 3 others in this millennium (Peyton Manning, Steve McNair and Marshall Faulk) have actually done the very same.
Prescott is still in the MVP hunt, considered that Dallas mathematically can capture the Philadelphia Eagles. Week 17’s face-off with the Detroit Lions is a possible resume-boosting video game, too.
Dak’s margin for mistake, nevertheless, is unquestionably gone.
