These top 5 contenders are having epic seasons and the MVP race this year will take a historic statistical season with the way these QBs have started their seasons.

Week 5 Highlights

Packers get a big road win

The Packers got to 4-1 with an entertaining overtime win over the Bengals 25-22 after 3 field goal misses by Mason Crosby late in the game. The Packers had plenty of question marks after their week 1 loss to the Saints but they have put together four solid performances and look to be on their way to another NFC North championship and threat in the NFC serious playoffs.

Chargers and Browns Shootout

The Chargers are playing with a ton of confidence heading into week 6

The Chargers and Browns played in what will likely be the most entertaining game of the NFL season that resulted in a 47-42 Chargers win. Both teams have a plethora of offensive weapons and could see each other in the playoffs later in the year. Justin Herbert threw for 398 yards and 4 TDs and put himself into the thick of the MVP conversation as the second-year QB out of Oregon looks like the potential future of the league.

Bills Impress

The Bills went into one of the toughest places to play in the NFL and came away with a big 38-20 win over the Chiefs in a rematch of last year’s AFC title game. The Bills now have the 2nd best odds to win the Super Bowl at +600, only behind the Bucs.

Brady Dominates

Tom Brady continues to defy father time and had a big day over a familiar team in the Miami Dolphins as he threw for 411 yards and 5 TDS to put his TD total up to 15 on the season. If he keeps this pace up he could top his 50 TD total that he through for in 2007.

Cardinals Improve to 5-0

The Cardinals won a 17-10 defensive slugfest over the 49ers to improve to 5-0 as they head into a big road test this week at Week 6 at Cleveland. Kyler Murray

Super Bowl Odds

Tom Brady and the Bucs are the Super Bowl Favorite

The Bucs are the new favorite to win the Super Bowl as we head into week 6, followed closely behind the Bills as both teams are starting to stand out from the rest of the teams in their respective conferences.

Here are the most recent Super Bowl odds:

• Bucs +550
• Bills +600
• Chiefs +750
• Rams +800
• Cardinals +1200
• Cowboys +1200
