Teddy Bridgewater MVP Odds Skyrocketing

The Carolina Panthers certainly didn't have high expectations with the kind of turnover they experienced this offseason, between a new head coach hiring in Matt Rhule and signing a new starting QB in Teddy Bridgewater. Those two items were compounded with the loss of star RB Christian McCaffrey due to injury.
The Panthers slid to a quick 0-2 start. However, after losing their most talented player to injury, they have managed rattle off three straight wins and improve to 3-2, largely in part to their quarterback play from Bridgewater.
It's time to start giving Teddy Bridgewater the respect he deserves in 2020:

Teddy Bridgewater MVP Odds
Panthers fans have proven not the only ones who have noticed this kind of play from their QB either, as the oddsmakers from FanDuel Sportsbook have reflected Bridgewater's early-season accomplishments in his latest odds to win the NFL MVP award.
While Bridgewater is still not in the MVP favorite circle yet, his odds to win have drastically improved from +10000 ahead of the season in March to +8000 after his team's third straight win in Week 5. That ranks No. 13 among all players, including No. 12 among quarterbacks.
