Current MVP of the NFL

If the NFL season ended right now the MVP would in my opinion would go to Clinton Portis.

This past Sunday Portis rushed for 126. This was the 6th straight game in a row he did this, and the second time of his career. He and OJ Simpson are the only two NFL players to accomplish this feat.

On the season Portis has already rushed for 944 yards, averaging 5.0 yards per carry and has 7 touchdowns. If he keeps this up, he is on pace for nearly 1900 yards on the season, which would rank him among the top 10 for most rushing yards in a season.

Of course he may fall off pace and rush for a total much less than that. I believe down the stretch that Drew Brees will challenge him for the MVP. Brees being a quarterback has too many weapons that Portis does not. Running backs also tend to tire down by week 12 or 13. However, as of right now, Portis is player of the year after 8 games.
