Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray looked like an MVP over the first half of the season, scoring touchdowns and leading the Cardinals to a 7-0 start. His play and the play of the team declined down the stretch after he got hurt and other key players suffered injuries. - He still had a very good season overall. - But looking ahead to the 2022 season, while he is not a favorite to win the MVP award, he is a clear contender, according to betting odds from Tipico Sportsbook. - Murray is +1500 to win the award, or 15/1 odds. A $100 bet would win $1,500 if he won it. - It gives him 6.25% implied odds of winning. - Only seven players are given shorter odds to win it. - The favorites are Bills QB Josh Allen at +500, Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes at +600 and Packers QB Aaron Rodgers at +700. - Following those three are four others with contending odds. Bengals QB Joe Burrow is +1000, Chargers QB Justin Herbert is +1200, while Rams QB Matthew Stafford and Cowboys QB Dak Prescott are both at +1300. Murray then follows them. - In 2020, there was a stretch when Murray looked like he could be the MVP. In 2021, it was for half the season. - In 2022, if he keeps up the improvement, he might be the guy to bet on. - - List - - Important offseason dates in 2022 for Cardinals, rest of NFL - - - - - - - Listen to the latest from Cards Wire’s Jess Root on his podcast, Rise Up, See Red.
