Drake Maye's monster performance against the New York Jets helped facilitate his meteoric rise in the NFL MVP odds after Week 17, with the sophomore QB in pole position to win the award after Matthew Stafford's Monday Night Football collapse. 

Let's take a look at Maye's outing at home against the Jets, in which he threw more touchdown passes than incompletions. This analysis complements the NFL Week 18 predictions

🎥 Maye makes MVP statement in Week 17 win vs. Jets

Maye barely needed two quarters to make another emphatic MVP statement, with the sophomore QB tossing five TDs and 256 yards while completing 19-of-21 passes and receiving a 156.5 passer rating before being withdrawn by head coach Mike Vrabel.

Attempting to absorb the fact that he threw three more touchdown passes than incompletions is more challenging than running a marathon after attending an all-you-can-eat buffet. Maye led his Patriots to a 42-3 advantage before kicking back on the sideline to watch the rest of the game. 

He became the only QB in the last 40 years with a 90% or better completion percentage and five TD passes in the same game, and he only needed just over half of the game to accomplish the feat. 

Maye's MVP odds have since improved to -600, representing an 85.71% implied probability. Stafford, meanwhile, has +500 odds (16.67% probability) entering Week 18. 

The Patriots host the Miami Dolphins in Week 18 while the Rams host the Arizona Cardinals. Maye and Stafford will start as the Patriots can still secure the AFC's No. 1 seed, and the Rams will also be jostling for playoff positioning.
