The Houston Texans surprised everyone last season, winning the AFC South and winning a playoff game when they were expected to be perhaps the worst team in the NFL. They were led by QB C.J. Stroud, who was the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
With some big offseason additions, they are poised to defend their division title and have better weapons for Stroud in his 2nd season, so much that he is not only a solid candidate to be NFL MVP in 2024, he even gives you good value.

NFL MVP best bet
QB C.J. Stroud, Houston Texans (+1000)
When it comes to the MVP award, 2 things are usually true — it is a quarterback on a really good team. Seventeen of the last 20 MVPs and last 11 have been quarterbacks. Eighteen of the last 20 MVPs have played for a division winner and those teams have averaged 13 wins.
The Texans play in the AFC South where they are the clear favorites to win with against 3 rivals with uncertain 2024 season outcomes.
As a rookie, Stroud had the league’s lowest interception rate and threw 23 TDs to a group of receivers that previously had never had even 500 yards in a season other than 31-year-old Robert Woods.
They added WR Stefon Diggs and RB Joe Mixon to the offense, while 2023 rookie standout WR Tank Dell returns from injury, while they added LB Danielle Hunter (16.5 sacks last season) to the defense.
When Buffalo added Diggs in 2020, they went from a 10-win team to a 13-win team. Houston and Stroud could do that this season.
BET C.J. STROUD to win NFL MVP (+1000).
