Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Super Bowl prop bet: Tom Brady betting favorite on Super Bowl LII MVP odds

The New England Patriots quarterback leads the way as the betting favorite to win the Super Bowl MVP award yet again heading into Sunday’s action in Minneapolis.

Tom Brady already holds the record for the most Super Bowl MVP awards in NFL history with four under his belt. The 40-year-old will look to build on his legacy even further with another Super Bowl MVP award at Super Bowl LII this Sunday.

Brady is a -110 favorite to win the award at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The Super Bowl MVP award has been awarded to quarterbacks at a disproportional rate with signal callers racking up 28 compared to running backs and wide receivers each landing six. Tom Brady has won the award in all but one of his Super Bowl victories, being edged out by wide receiver Deion Branch in Super Bowl XXXIX.

James White made a strong case for himself in last year’s Super Bowl win over the Falcons, catching 14 passes for 110 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 29 yards and two touchdowns as well. White (+4000 to win Super Bowl MVP) and Dion Lewis (+1800) both figure to see plenty of targets out of the backfield as Brady’s dump-off options when he is pressured.

Other potential targets in the passing game for New England include Rob Gronkowski (+900), Danny Amendola (+1800), and Brandin Cooks (+2200).

Given how frequently quarterbacks are anointed MVP when their respective teams win the Super Bowl, bettors who will be backing the Eagles at Super Bowl LII could find some nice value in quarterback Nick Foles at +325. Foles certainly had an MVP-caliber game in the NFC Championship against the Minnesota Vikings, completing 78.8 percent of his passes for 352 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions against the league’s top defense.

Foles is a clear favorite over his teammates, including Jay Ajayi (+1800), Zach Ertz (+2000) and Alshon Jeffery (+2200). Fletcher Cox’s ability to pressure Tom Brady could be the key to an upset by the underdog Eagles and a couple of sacks along the way could get Cox into the MVP conversation at 33/1.

The last defensive lineman to win the award was Chicago’s Richard Dent back in 1986 at Super Bowl XX, but two of the last four awards have gone to defensive players in Von Miller at Super Bowl 50 and Malcolm Smith at Super Bowl XLVIII.

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Jon Gruden: I Get A Ton Of Calls From Players Who Are "Dying To Come And Play Here"

Imagen
The Thursday night game is Raiders-49ers, which, I’d rather die. But pregame, we get a sitdown interview with Jon Gruden (who you thought couldn’t nuke his roster any further after the trade deadline passed, but that didn’t take into account his chasing players into retirement ), conducted by his “good friend” Howie… Read more...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Ranking Jon Gruden’s best quotes in his Raiders return, from Khalil Mack to Tom Cruise

Imagen
Jon Gruden’s return to coaching hasn’t been smooth, but he’s given us a few quotes to enjoy — especially about Khalil Mack. When the Oakland Raiders hired Jon Gruden in January, they weren’t just getting a coach — they were getting a character and the show that comes with it. After nine years as an ESPN personality, Gruden’s return to coaching has brought with it hilarious quotes on a weekly basis. And that’d be a lot more fun for Oakland if it was paired with some wins, but so far the Gruden era has mostly been losses and a skunked up locker room . Judging by his record-breaking contract , the Raiders are probably going to have Gruden around for a while, and that means we’ll have some fun press conferences along the way. So far, these are the best quotes from Gruden since his 2018 return to Oakland and it’s a list we’ll keep updating as he keeps talking: 8. Let’s throw the game back to 1998 The quote: From a meeting with reporters at the 2018 NFL Combine: “I’m trying to thro

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Rams-Raiders betting lines and point spread updates for MNF

Imagen
The Rams paid their franchise player, while the Raiders traded theirs. That and the return of Jon Gruden highlight this Week 1 MNF matchup. The NFL opens the 2018 regular season with its annual Monday Night Football doubleheader, and the late game will feature a high profile return. The Oakland Raiders host the Los Angeles Rams in Jon Gruden’s first game as a head coach since 2008. It marks his first game coaching the Raiders since a 2002 playoff appearance. The Westgate SuperBook had one of the first lines for this game and opened the Rams as 1.5 point favorites. You could get this as low as a pick ‘em in April , but the line has changed with bettors hitting the Rams heavily. Sportsbooks are sitting at either four points or 4.5 points, according to Odds Shark . The point total is set at 49.5. This game features resolution for a pair for a pair of players given the franchise tag. The Rams agreed to terms making Aaron Donald the highest paid defensive player in the league . Shor
