Who are the NFL MVP odds favorites?

Futures odds for the next NFL MVP shift every week during the regular season as players perform well or have rough game days. That said, some players tend to be in the discussion every week.

Here are a few of the top contenders for this year’s award.

  1. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs: He already has two of these awards sitting at his house, so there’s no wonder why Mahomes is a favorite yet again. He’s still young and healthy, and he’s the kind of quarterback who conjures huge plays. There’s little doubt that Mahomes is in the discussion for NFL MVP every season.
     
  2. Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins: Despite only playing in 13 games of each of the past two seasons due to concussion issues, Tagovailoa is making noise in this year’s MVP race thanks to leading a renewed and energized Miami Dolphins passing attack. As long as the offense keeps putting up big numbers and Tagovailoa stays healthy, he’s likely to be in the MVP debate.
     
  3. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles: Hurts finished the 2022-23 MVP race as the runner-up and has been consistently in the top tier of quarterbacks to start the 2023-24 season. If Hurts and the Eagles can keep up their top-notch offensive play, he will be one of the top contenders for this year’s Most Valuable Player award.

Who chooses the NFL MVP? 

The National Football League’s MVP is chosen by the AP, also known as the Associated Press. The news organization uses a committee of 50 sportswriters who each vote for their MVP pick that season.

The MVP is determined by which player received the most total votes from the committee. The group of 50 voters varies by year, though there are plenty of recurring committee members. 

In 2022, according to Pro Football Reference, Patrick Mahomes was given 48 first-place votes—a whopping 98 percent of total first-place ballots—while Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen received one first-place vote each.

When is the NFL MVP announced? 

The NFL MVP Award is given annually at the NFL Honors ceremony, held the night before the Super Bowl.

The event also involves anointing other major award winners, such as Coach of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year, and Defensive Player of the Year. 

The voting for annual NFL awards takes place after the regular season but before postseason play. 

    How do you bet on NFL MVP? 

    Betting on the National Football League MVP is easy and very common among NFL bettors. For context, NFL futures odds typically concern a long-term outcome, and the lines for the next NFL MVP are usually released soon after the previous year’s Super Bowl concludes.

    At that point, you will discover the odds are quite long because you’re essentially guessing who could win the award a full year in advance. As the next NFL season draws near, the odds tighten due to the availability of additional information, news, preseason play, and other factors used by oddsmakers to calculate lines.

    Once regular-season games are underway, the lines will narrow even more as clear favorites begin to emerge.

    As a bettor, you need to weigh the risk vs. reward of betting early or waiting for the picture to become clearer. If you’re comfortable taking some less educated guesses, then feel free to bet early. You stand a good chance of winning a significant return on your wager if you choose correctly. 

    Not all bettors are keen on such risk, however. Those who aren’t should consider waiting until more information, data, and news become available to make a more informed bet on the next NFL MVP. That will reduce the potential profit but also the risk.

    What other NFL awards can I bet on? 

    While the Most Valuable Player Award stands out as a popular NFL futures bet, several other awards are available for betting at top NFL betting sites

    For example, the Offensive Player of the Year Award rewards the most prolific and explosive offensive player from that year. You’ll notice receivers and running backs are much more likely to win this honor than MVP, which has vastly favored quarterbacks in recent years.

    On the other side of the ball, Defensive Player of the Year is another popular NFL futures market.

    There are a couple of specific awards for rookies new to the National Football League. Offensive Rookie of the Year and Defensive Rookie of the Year odds are available to bettors throughout the regular season and awarded to the players with the most influence on their teams in their first-ever NFL season. 

    There are also betting opportunities for Comeback Player of the Year, a player award for overcoming adversity, such as a severe injury that kept them from competing the prior season, or another obstacle that impacted their football career.
