Cam Newton NFL MVP odds improve as Patriots name him Week 1 starting quarterback
New England has named Cam Newton as its Week 1 starting quarterback.
In absolutely no surprise, the New England Patriots have named veteran and 2015 NFL MVP Cam Newton as the team's starting quarterback for Week 1 vs. the visiting Miami Dolphins. – something Belichick never did with Tom Brady – and Newton's competition, second-year Jarrett Stidham, isn't 100 percent healthy due to a hip injury. Could Newton win another MVP? At one point, he was priced way down at +10000 but is now +3000 at William Hill sportsbook. The former No. 1 overall pick is a +450 second favorite for NFL Comeback Player of the Year.
