Stafford and Maye have been jockeying for the top spot for most of the season. Stafford was -250 before Monday's loss and has been inside the oddsboard's top three for months.
Maye was +185 before Monday Night Football and has been the favorite multiple times this season. The second-year quarterback opened the season at +5000 to win the MVP and slipped to as long as +10000 in early October.
Stafford leads the NFL in passing touchdowns by a wide margin with 42. He's second in passing yards (4,448) and quarterback rating (108.8). But the Rams' 11-5 record, which currently leaves them third in the NFC West, is hurting the veteran's candidacy.
Maye is fourth in passing yards (4,203), tied for third in passing touchdowns (30), first in completion percentage (71.1%), and first in quarterback rating (112.9). He has 409 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns, an element that's missing from Stafford's game. Maye is also getting a ton of credit for turning the Patriots around after they finished 4-13 last year and have now captured the AFC East with at least 13 victories.
Josh Allen was in the running to win back-to-back MVPs, but the Bills' loss to the Eagles last week seems to have removed him from contention.
