2022 NFL MVP odds: Packers' Aaron Rodgers yet to land big bet at sportsbook to win record-tying fifth MVP

While something could change by the time the Green Bay Packers kick off their season at the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, two-time reigning NFL MVP and four-time overall winner Aaron Rodgers has not garnered a single wager of at least $1,000 at Caesars Sportsbook to win it again this year. There have been 108 total bets of at least 1K overall on the MVP prop. The Pack are -1.5 against the Vikings.

What's even more surprising that Rodgers hasn't gotten a single big bet is that every other NFC North quarterback – Minnesota's Kirk Cousins, Chicago's Justin Fields and Detroit's Jared Goff -- has received at least one. There's basically no chance that Fields or Goff win.

If Rodgers were to win, he'd tie Peyton Manning for the most MVPs. The only other player to win three straight MVPs was the guy Rodgers replaced: Brett Favre (1995-97; shared '97 award with Barry Sanders).

Clearly, bettors are down on Rodgers' chances because the Packers traded arguably the NFL's best receiver, Davante Adams, to Las Vegas in the offseason and didn't really replace him at least with veteran talent. Instead, Green Bay took North Dakota State wideout Christian Watson in the second round of this year's draft and Nevada's Romeo Doubs in Round 4. Watson missed the entire preseason and camp with a knee injury but is practicing this week and should play Sunday. Doubs had some bright spots this summer but also a lot of drops.

The Packers' leading returning receiver is Allen Lazard and he's very iffy for Sunday with an ankle injury. He hasn't practiced through Thursday. Lazard has received the most Over bets among all NFL players for both season-long receiving yardage (700.5) and receiving touchdowns (5.5).

Rodgers is 16-10-1 for his career against Minnesota, but seven of the 10 losses were on the road, and those 10 defeats are his most vs. any opponent overall.

Another interesting note on the Packers entering the season: There are the same exact number of Over bets and Under bets at Caesars on the team's win total of 11. With the tickets split at 50%, the Over has the slight edge with 50.6% of the handle. Green Bay last year became the team in NFL history to win at least 13 games in three straight seasons.
