Odds to Win The 2011 NFL Football MVP NFL Patriots QB Tom Brady

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady made history last season in becoming the first player ever to be named NFL Most Valuable Player by unanimous selection. It was Brady’s second career MVP award. Can he join Brett Favre and Peyton Manning this season as the NFL’s only three-time winners of the award (Manning has four)? Brady is the second-favorite on Bodog Sportsbook’s Odds to Win The 2011 NFL Football MVP at 13/2.

Tom Brady won his other MVP award (he remains the only Patriot to ever win) when he set an NFL record with 50 touchdown passes in leading the Patriots to an unbeaten regular season and several team offensive records. That year, Brady got 49 of the 50 votes for MVP, with one vote going to Favre.

Although he didn't set nearly as many passing marks as in '07, Brady by far was the league's top performer in leading New England to a 14-2 record, best in the NFL in 2010. He had a record streak of 335 throws without being intercepted, and passed for 36 touchdowns with only four picks. That's the highest ratio touchdown to interception ratio (9.0) in NFL history — surpassing his own record from 2007. Brady twice threw for four touchdowns in a game and four times had three. Twelve times, he had a passer rating of at least 100.

New England was upset in the divisional round of the playoffs by the New York Jets. Brady followed his previous MVP trophy with a lost season, tearing left knee ligaments in the first half of the 2008 opener and missing the rest of the season.
