Joe Burrow's MVP odds spiked last night following his massive game against the Broncos. Burrow alongside his star wide receivers kept Cincinnati's playoff hopes alive in a performance for the ages. 

Burrow threw for 412 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions, and is now picked third in MVP odds. If you have paid attention to the MVP odds this season, they haven't given a very clear cut answer of who is going to win the award.

At one point, Lamar Jackson was right around even money to win the award, but then Josh Allen became -1200, without putting up better stats than Jackson. Now, the award market is very tight with Allen at -21o and Jackson at +175. 

It's hard to not forget about Burrow at +1500, but in our mind this is a two horse race because the Bengals chances to make the playoffs are still very slim. 

As much as we look at the odds to tell us who will win MVP, our proprietary stats can be a great resource as well. The Cold, Hard Football Facts have successfully predicted the outcome of NFL games and seasons for over 20 years. 

The three most significant stats for our proprietary stats are Real Quarterback Rating, Offensive Passer Rating and Real Passing Yards/Attempt. 

The one quarterback who stands out in every statistic is Lamar Jackson. Jackson is first in all three categories. Allen is second in Real Quarterback Rating, eighth in Offensive Passer Rating and fourth in Real Passing Yards/Attempt. 

The Cold, Hard Football Facts can't change voters opinions, but when you dive into the stats, Jackson is the most efficient quarterback in the NFL.
