When it comes to winning the MVP, there are some factors that can give a player a leg up in the conversation, and Luck should have the benefit of both.
First, the MVP is almost always on a really good team. In fact, of the last 10 NFL MVPs, their team won their division nine out of 10 times; the outlier’s team coming in second.
“Every player on this list is on a team that I have making the playoffs,” Schein said about his list of MVP candidates. “That might change. But when it comes to the MVP, I put a value on winning.”
Luck and the Colts of course turned their fortunes around in 2018, going from 1-5 to 10-6 and making the playoffs. Even though they finished the regular season in second place in the AFC South, they defeated its winner — the Houston Texans — twice, including in the Wild Card Round of the postseason.
After another rock solid offseason, the Colts are considered by many to be the favorites to recapture the division that they have largely dominated since its inception in 2002.
They return essentially every significant starter from last year, have an incredibly strong nucleus of talented young players who are still ascending, are going into the second season in both their offensive and defensive systems led by a sharp,forward-thinking coaching staff and they have Luck as their quarterback.
