Top 5 NFL MVP Candidates In the 2018-19 Season

c1.staticflickr.com

The NFL season only has 11 weeks left; seven for teams that don't make the playoffs. No football fan wants this to happen, but it will. Despite that, the end of the season brings us a Superbowl Champion, a ROY, and also an MVP. Real football fans hope that this will be their team's year and that they'll win the Superbowl, but most fans also hope that their favorite player becomes MVP. With seven weeks left to decide who the NFL MVP will be here are the candidates who stand out currently and have the top chance of winning this prestigious award.

Alvin Kamara

Alvin Kamara is officially the lead back of the New Orleans Saints. He still has to split carries with Ingram, but regardless Kamara is the lead back now. He is a mismatch on any defense; no one seems to be able to tackle him and he's straight up a touchdown machine. Since Kamara has entered the Saints team, he has made them unstoppable and while he may not be the best MVP candidate on the Saints, he is still worthy of being top 5 especially being the second best running back in the league.

Cam Newton

As a Saints fan, I absolutely despise Cam Newton, but it's impossible to deny the impact Newton has had on the Panthers. It's almost as Cam is performing like his 2015 MVP form and he's trying to win the award again. Having a 5-3 record on its own is very impressive, but considering Cam has no real weapons outside McCaffrey, it's even more impressive. Cam is leading the league in rushing from a non-running back and still has over 1500 yards passing. With the putrid offensive line and Cam making plays on his own, he is more than deserving to have his name in the MVP conversation.

Todd Gurley

Being from Georgia, I've seen Todd Gurley play since his college days. All of us from Georgia knew that Todd Gurley would make a large impact in the NFL, but none of us knew he would turn around the whole franchise of the Rams. Gurley's the leading rusher and he seems to have a knack for the end-zone. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but Jared Goff is not good; Todd Gurley makes him good. Rarely do you see a running back make a quarterback good, but Todd Gurley is that great! Any other year Gurley would easily win MVP, but with so many players playing exceptionally this year, Todd Gurley is only 3rd on this list.

Patrick Mahomes

Patrick Mahomes has been lights out this year. No one and when I mean no one, I mean his coach, his teammates, and even his peers did not expect him to be this good. Patrick Mahomes has an arm that drops balls in the perfect spot. He is the leading passer in the league and has also thrown the most touchdowns this year. He has led the league to a 9-1 record (the best in the league) and is constantly winning games for the Chiefs despite their horrible defense. Without Mahomes, the Chiefs would be nowhere as close to the record they have now. Easily Patrick Mahomes could win MVP, but currently, there's only one player better.

Drew Brees

Is this the year? Is this the year Drew Brees finally wins the MVP award he's deserved multiple times. It better be or all of Who Dat Nation is going to be mad! Drew Brees isn't out-throwing anyone, but that's not what this award is about. This award is called the Most Valuable Player and without Drew Brees, the Saints would be nowhere to as good as they are currently without him. Drew Brees leads NFL HISTORY in passing yards, passing completion percentage, and is second in most touchdowns passed. Drew Brees broke most of these records this year and he might be helping the Saints go to another Superbowl. Drew Brees might not care about the MVP award and would much rather win the Superbowl, but his teammates want him to get both and hopefully, he does because as the best QB of all time, he deserves it.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
