Outside of the winning side, people are probably most intrigued by the Super Bowl MVP award. We humans are drawn to greatness, attracted to star power, and the winner, typically, has both of those attributes in spades. This year’s Super Bowl MVP race is particularly fascinating, though, because it features three past winners of the award, including Tom Brady and Eli Manning. Not surprisingly those two are the favorites to nab the honor in the latest 2012 Super Bowl MVP Odds with Brady a +150 moneyline play and Manning a +200 option.
Decisions, decisions…having trouble picking a potential MVP winner? Well, the best and most obvious place to start looking is under center. It is simple math really as 24 of the previous 45 Super Bowl MVP winners were quarterbacks. And the game is doing anything but drifting away from that trend with four of the last five MVP awards going to a field general.
This year, however, it really seems like a no-brainer with Brady and Manning in the mix. Brady, after all, is a two time winner of the highly coveted prize and he performed exceptionally well in his four previous Super Bowl appearances, throwing seven touchdowns to one interception while compiling a 94.9 passer rating. Manning, who has been the best quarterback in these playoffs, has also shown well under the brightest of lights, earning Super Bowl XLII MVP honors following his incredibly gutty turn against the Patriots.
Outside of those two, the best choice would seemingly be tight end Rob Gronkowski. While no tight end has ever won a Super Bowl MVP award, Gronkowski has the type of game changing ability to end the position’s extended dry spell. If the second year pro is healthy, you can rest assured that Brady will feed him the ball, creating the opportunity for the big guy to make a huge statement in tonight’s game.
If you are not feeling the Gronkowski love, receiver is the next best option. Wide outs trail only quarterbacks and running backs in MVP honors (six) and both the Pats and Giants feature pass catchers capable of reeling in a new car as well as a trip to Disney World.
