While some websites and pundits debate the merits of trading Justin Fields, oddsmakers say he could be in a very good place next year at this time.

If he is, he also needs to be in Chicago.

That's because oddsmakers at Betonline.ag have made Fields 20-1 to be NFL MVP next season. Only nine NFL players rate better chances according to the odds.

Patrick Mahomes is 5-1, Joe Burrow 6-1, Jalen Hurts 8-1, Josh Allen 10-1, Justin Herbert and Tua Tagovailoa 14-1, Aaron Rodgers 16-1, Lamar Jackson and Trevor Lawrence at 18-1.
