Packers QB Aaron Rodgers Odds to Win The 2011 NFL MVP

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers ended the 2010 NFL season as the Super Bowl MVP, and Rodgers opens the 2011 campaign as the odds-on favorite to win his first regular-season MVP award. He is 11/2 to win it on Bodog Sportsbook’s NFL player props.
Rodgers was superb last regular season, throwing for 3,922 yards (seventh in the NFL) with 28 touchdowns (tied for sixth) and 11 interceptions in leading Green Bay to a 10-6 record and an NFC wild-card spot. Rodgers missed almost two full games because of a concussion suffered early in the Packers’ Week 14 loss in Detroit. He returned just in the nick of time, as Green Bay faced a must-win in Week 16 against the New York Giants. All Rodgers did in that game was throw for a season-high 404 yards and four touchdowns in Green Bay’s blowout victory.
Aaron Rodgers capped a dream season by completing 24 of 39 passes for 304 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions to lead the Packers to a 31-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers for Green Bay's first NFL title since Brett Favre's in the January 1997 Super Bowl. Of course Favre is a three-time winner of the NFL MVP award, with his last one coming in the 1997 season.
No Packer has come close to winning it since. Rodgers has a terrific stable of receivers in Greg Jennings, Donald Driver and Jordy Nelson as well as one of the top receiving tight ends in football in Jermichael Finley, who was lost for season last year in Green Bay’s fifth game. Rodgers won’t turn 28 until December so he should be just hitting his prime years.
