  • Predicting the Quarterback-MVP
    Predicting the Quarterback-MVP Ryan Brill and Ryan Weisman ∗ July 2021 1 Introduction The NFL MVP award is chosen each year by a panel of 50 sportswriters who are selected by the Associated Press. As the MVP is chosen by humans who do not necessarily base their decision on statistics, but on watching all the games and talking to coaches and players, it is natural to wonder whether there is a mathematical rule that can describe the MVP selection process. So, our task is to create a statistical model that can predict the NFL MVP. Since 1987, only quarterbacks (QBs) and running backs (RBs) have won the MVP [1], with QBs taking the majority of the MVPs (79% = 27/34). Hence we restrict our analysis to QBs. 2 The Features Our first task is to create a model that selects the QB-MVP. We begin by assembling a dataset of QB statistics from nflfastR [2], which contains play-by-play data. We aggregate the play-by-play data into season-level statistics, so each row of the dataset includes the statistics of a given QB in a given year. We add an indicator column MVP which is a 1 if a given QB won the MVP in a given year, based on the datatable from [1]. Because we want to predict the QB-MVP, and we have a binary output column MVP, it is natural to use logistic regression. Note that we restrict ourselves to data since 2003 to keep our dataset relatively modern, and we remove 2005, 2006, and 2012 because RBs won the MVP that year.
