The are living the good life. They improved to 11-3 to clinch the NFC West division and remain the conference's top seed following a dominant 45-29 victory over the 3-11 . As a virtue of being one of the top teams, San Francisco has two players in the top five of the NFL MVP odds, according to Caesar's Sportsbook: quarterback (-225, odds-on favorite) and running back (+1000, fourth-best MVP odds).PlayerMVP oddsQB Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers-225QB , +500QB , +500RB Christian McCaffrey, San Francisco 49ers+1000QB , +1100Purdy, who was called last week, leads Andre Roberson Jersey the NFL in the following metrics: yards per pa s attempt (9.9), pa sing touchdowns (29), touchdown-to-interception ratio (29-7), pa ser rating (119.0) and expected points added/play among qualified quarterbacks (0.32). He is even on pace to break the NFL's all-time record for pa sing yards per attempt in a season among those who have thrown a minimum of 375 pa ses.However, Purdy doesn't believe he should be the league MVP. He says that honor should go to McCaffrey."I think Christian should be the MVP," Purdy . "I really do believe that. He does everything for us. Runs the ball well. Can catch the ball. He does everything, so in my eyes that's an MVP. Jarrett Allen Jersey I'm the guy that hands him the ball off and then turns back and watches what he does. Bounces off guys, making cuts, twisting off guys when he has all these guys holding onto him. I just see the beating that he takes and just his grit to continue to drive his legs and get extra yards and inches. Then he's immediately on the sideline using theraguns and moving his body. Just non-stop moving and so we all respect it."He's the guy that does it all," Purdy continued. "We put him out in the slot and throw him the ball. He does everything. He is smart. We definitely look up to him and his toughne s. He sets the standard, and we follow his lead DeAndre Jordan Jersey . ... Thankful and ble sed to be playing with him." There is plenty of empirical evidence, on top of Purdy's anecdotal case, for McCaffrey to be the first running back to take home the MVP hardware since running back did so in 2012. He leads the NFL in the following statistics: rushing yards (1,292), scrimmage yards (1,801) and touchdowns from scrimmage (20). McCaffrey is the only running back in the NFL with over 1,000 yards through Week 15, and he leads his position in receiving yards (509) and receiving touchdowns (seven) Derrick Coleman Jersey . Earlier this season, he had a streak of scoring a touchdown in 17 consecutive games dating back to last season which tied the NFL record with Baltimore Hall of Famer Lenny Moore. SF RB #23 Att244Yds1292TD13FL2 After leading the league in rushing yards after each week of the 2023 season, McCaffrey has a chance to accomplish a feat that would certainly put him in line to be the NFL's MVP. He can become the first player in 28 years, and just the fourth since the 1970 AFL/NFL merger, to lead the NFL in rushing yards after every week of a full season. The other three are all in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and won the MVP award in two of those four seasons they achieved James Harden Jersey this accomplishment: O.J. Simpson (1973 and 1975, won MVP in 1973), Walter Payton (1977, won MVP), Emmitt Smith (1995, did not win MVP).SeasonPlayerRush YardsScrimmage YardsScrimmage TDWon NFL MVP2023Christian McCaffrey* (49ers)1,2921,80120?1993Emmitt Smith (Cowboys)1,7732,14825No1977Walter Payton ()1,8522,12116Yes1975O.J.
