That old “betting on football games to make them more interesting” cliché may not be all that clichéd this season. Viewership is down 11% from last year, and the “it’s an election year” excuse is no longer valid. A few team owners such as Colts’ Jim Irsay and Texans’ Robert McNair have placed the blame on pre-game kneeling antics spearheaded by Colin Kaepernick. But if that were the case, the solution would be very simple; just have Aretha Franklin sing the anthem before each and every game. The NFL football odds are against anyone – even professional sportsballers – being able to kneel for that long.

There are many great players currently competing for the MVP award; Ezekiel Elliot, Derek Carr, Dak Prescott, and Matt Ryan, but with a 16:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio, Brady is unlike no other candidate.
