BetMGM has reported that nearly 25% of the handle is on Winston with 15% of the placed bets. Winston’s negatives have never had anything to do with his arm talent or ability to rack up yards and if he’s given the green light in the Saints’ offense he could fill the stat sheet again.

Can Jameis Winston Compete For MVP?

Certain football betting sites have seen Winston’s odds improve in the MVP race since the start of the preseason as bettors are seemingly impressed by his performance.

Objectively, Winston has a much better chance at leading the league in passing yards than he does to win MVP, but the odds reflect the same betting line.

Of course, Winston first needs to officially win the starting job. The NFL player prop odds could potentially change when the starting QB gets announced, but just in case bettors still may be better off waiting for the news to drop.
