Narrative Gives Cam Newton a Head Start Towards Comeback Player of the Year

All week long on Straight Outta Vegas, RJ Bell and the crew have updated the odds since Cam Newton signed with the New England Patriots. Vegas is giving Cam a 66% chance of winning the starting job for week 1. Before signing with the Pats, he was 10:1 favorite to win Comeback Play of the Year but has since jumped up to 3.5:1 (+350). On top of that, he's now 30:1 to win MVP after starting at 300:1. When it comes to the Pats winning the AFC East, they have gone from 25:1 to 20:1 to win the division. Narrative is always a huge factor when it comes to voting so bettors might want to give Cam the nod over bigger favorites like Patrick Mahomes or Russell Wilson.
