Fans Left Shocked as NFL Legend and Hall of Famer, Michael Irvin, Predicts the NFL MVP and It’s Not Aaron Rodgers or Josh Allen

With the Bills and Rams scheduled to open the 2022 NFL season on Thursday night, the remaining time is only hours. No one should truly be shocked if a starting quarterback from the NFC North Division is predicted to win the upcoming NFL regular season MVP, provided that quarterback is Aaron Rodgers or, to a lesser extent, Josh Allen.

Award futures are sometimes difficult to anticipate, but if you strike only one, the long odds can offer significant profit margins. Over the past 15 years, the NFL MVP award has come to represent the league’s top quarterback. All 15 of the prior MVP award winners were quarterbacks.

Michael Irvin, a member of the Hall of Fame, however, left everyone’s jaws wide by picking a guy who isn’t even among the best in his position.

Michael Irvin picks his NFL MVP, and it’s not Aaron Rodgers

Kirk Cousins of the Minnesota Vikings will get the prestigious honor at NFL Honors for the first time in his career during Super Bowl LVII week in February 2023, according to Irvin, who made the prediction during the regular season preview on NFL Network.

After Griffin sustained an injury in his first three seasons, Cousins briefly entered games before taking Griffin’s place as the team’s starter in 2015. He held that position through the end of the 2017 season. In 2018, Cousins signed a fully guaranteed three-year, US$84 million contract with the Vikings as a free agent after two seasons of wearing franchise tags and failing to reach an agreement with the organization on a long-term deal.

But Cousins is a long shot when it comes to NFL MVP. He has +5000 odds of winning the coveted award which is too much as compared to Aaron Rodgers.
