Peyton Manning is a 1-to-10 favorite to win the MVP. In other words, you'd have to wager $1,000 on him just to win $100 back.
Meanwhile, Andrew Luck has 30-to-1 odds to win the MVP right now. It can't be forgotten that Manning (a) is 37 years old, (b) has already had four neck surgeries, (c) doesn't have his All-Pro left tackle anymore and (d) hasn't played a good defense yet. You're telling me there isn't a 1-in-30 chance that either he gets dinged up and misses a few games or the Broncos tail off a little in November and December when their schedule gets tougher? And you're telling me that if Luck carries the Colts to 11-5 or 12-4 and a no. 2 seed, he's not waiting in the wings for an MVP if ANYTHING happens to Manning? As your unofficial gambling adviser, I strongly suggest that you sprinkle a little MVP money on Mr. Luck if you live in a world where gambling is legal. You never know.
I may drop a buck or two on this line.

I see the Manning logic, but not the Luck play. Hell, there might be a few players that could emerge as MVP, not all QBs either. I have seen Peyton take a couple serious shots in the past couple outings, and the weather isn't cold nor the ground frozen brick-hard yet.
