I don't think CMC or a RB wins. I don't think Tyreek or a WR wins. It's Purdy should he win and more so if we win by some decent margin.
Purdy's a lock if we win next week, he plays well, and we get the 1 seed. You have to bet 200 to win 100 on him. Betting 100 on Lamar right now will pay you 4-600 dollars if he wins depending on where you bet.
Maybe some room for CMC to sneak in a victory if he just crushes the stat sheet over the final games, but probably not. He's 10-1 or higher.
Outside of that point, Lamar has been good this year. He's a better passer than you think he is, and is a dynamic runner. Numbers have a lot to do with team too. That offense isn't loaded.
Regardless of what the stats say, it can be argued that this has been Lamar's best year, in regards to executing the qb position at a high level. This is a drastically different situation than when he won the MVP before.
