Kyler Murray‘s 2019 stats
Murray finished his 16-game rookie season with 3,722 passing yards, 20 passing touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He added 544 rushing yards and 4 rushing touchdowns.
He led his team to a 5-10-1 record and took home the 2019 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
Is Kyler Murray worth a 2020 NFL MVP bet?
Before free agency, Murray was already one of the best longshot bets to win the 2020 NFL MVP. He was significantly better in the second half of his rookie season and the Cardinals were a more competitive team. With Monday’s trade acquisition of WR DeAndre Hopkins, the Cardinals now have one of the better wide receiver corps in the NFL with Hopkins, Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk.
If the Cardinals can upgrade their offensive line during the 2020 NFL Draft, which they are expected to do at pick No. 8, Murray could put up monster numbers in head coach Kliff Kingsbury’s offense. It wouldn’t be a shock to see him account for 40 or more touchdowns as the Cardinals should be one of the higher scoring teams in the NFL.
If Arizona can flirt with a playoff berth and Murray can put up these type of numbers, then he is an excellent bet at +3300. Expect the odds to fall as the Cardinals upgrade their offensive line and more people get behind the second-year quarterback making a leap in 2020. He’ll likely enter the 2020 season as a much heavier favorite.
