Peyton Manning Wins NFL MVP Award Sportsbook. odds have seen the Indianapolis Colts have a lot of success in recent seasons and one of the main reasons why is quarterback Peyton Manning who won the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award. He is the first player to win the award four times. The Colts are favored against the Baltimore Ravens at the offshore sportsbook in NFL playoff action on Saturday.
Sportsbook had Manning getting 39.5 of the 50 possible votes. Drew Brees finished second with 7.5 votes while the others getting votes were Philip Rivers and Brett Favre. Manning also won the MVP in 2003, 2004 and 2008. “I’m very humbled and grateful to be honored with this award and I really feel like it is a reflection of our team,” said Manning, “I have to believe that starting 14-0 and having seven comeback wins has a lot to do with this award coming our way, and I’m very grateful to all the players and the coaches and our fans, who were a big part of it. There were a number of other extremely deserving candidates.”
Manning was simply brilliant again this sportsbook season. He led the Colts to a perfect record before the starters were pulled in their next to last peyton game. The Colts have home field advantage throughout the playoffs and they are favored at the offshore sportsbook against the Colts and if they win they would be favored at the offshore sportsbook against either the Jets or Chargers in the AFC title game. The Colts won the Super Bowl three years ago in Miami and Super Bowl XLIV is played in Miami this year.
Sportsbook stats had Manning throwing for 4,500 yards and 33 touchdowns this season. “He’s been such a highly accomplished performer year in and year out. Payton Just when you think you’ve seen his best, he improves upon it,” said head coach Jim Caldwell.
The Colts are favored at the sportsbook for good reason. Indianapolis has a potent offense led by Manning and a great group of receivers. Reggie Wayne had 100 catches for 1,264 yards and 10 touchdowns as sportsbook stats showed. Offshore sportsbook numbers had Dallas Clark with 100 catches for 1,106 yards and 10 scores. Austin Collie tied the rookie lead in receptions with 60 as sportsbook statistics had it while Pierre Garcon averaged 16.3 yards on 47 catches. “What he’s been able to do this year with Pierre and Austin — and obviously Dallas had a year that will go down in the record books,” linebacker and defensive captain Gary Brackett said. “And I think it really says something when you can work young guys like that.”
