Stroud’s statistics speak for themselves. He ranks within the top ten in critical quarterback metrics: QBR passer rating, passing yards, and passing touchdowns. Moreover, his precision and control are evident, having thrown only two interceptions this year. Such impressive stats are rare for a rookie quarterback and point toward a player who is not just playing; he’s changing the game.

The betting market has taken notice. Initially, Stroud’s odds of clinching the MVP title were long, but they have since shortened to +2000. This shift in odds reflects the growing belief among bettors and analysts that Stroud is a serious contender for the MVP award. It recognizes his undeniable impact on the Texans, a potential playoff contending mainly due to his contributions.

This isn’t just about a rookie making a mark; it’s about a player rewriting the script for what a first-year quarterback can achieve. If the Texans continue on their upward trajectory, it’s not just plausible but probable that Stroud will be among the finalists for the MVP award. His current odds of +2000 offer a tempting prospect for bettors looking to capitalize on his groundbreaking season.

As the Texans continue to build their season around his extraordinary talents, the sky’s the limit for this young quarterback. With the Offensive Rookie of the Year award seemingly in the bag, the focus now shifts to a higher prize – could Stroud become the NFL Regular Season MVP? The odds are increasingly suggesting it’s a possibility worth betting on.
