Recently, the sports-betting site
MyBookie.com released odds favorites to take home NFL MVP honors for the upcoming 2019 season.
The names you'd expect to be at the top are there. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is the odds-on favorite, coming in at plus-400. Right behind him at plus-700 is New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, while quarterbacks Andrew Luck and Aaron Rodgers -- of the Indianapolis Colts and Green Bay Packers, respectively -- are tied for third on the list at plus-800.
The San Francisco 49ers have their own quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo, on the list, too. His odds to secure the MVP award currently sit at plus-4000, which is tied for 14th along with Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton and Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald.
At least Garoppolo is tied with the league's 2018 Defensive Player of the Year winner, Donald.
Garoppolo is coming off a 2018 campaign in which he suffered a torn ACL in Week 3. But the odds makers are certainly recalling the five-game win streak he helped engineer to close out the 2017 season after the 49ers acquired him via a trade with the New England Patriots earlier that year. Nearly two full years in head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense should help give Garoppolo a leg up on improving on what was a frustrating 2018 for the 27 year old. Additionally, San Francisco added a number of offensive weapons during the offseason to pair with Pro Bowl tight end
George Kittle.
Perhaps this combination assists Jimmy G in bettering those odds as the season rolls along.
Garoppolo was the only 49ers player to wind up on MyBookie's list.

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
7-round mock draft from The Athletic sees 49ers fortifying defense early
Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week.
"Piecing together a mock like this is time consuming, but I enjoy the exercise, because it allows me to focus on each team's needs, organizational trends and prospect-team pairings that make sense based on '30' visits, league buzz and overall interest," Brugler wrote.
Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco
