Best NFL MVP odds
The favourite: Patrick Mahomes (+275)
Mahomes is coming off the worst regular season of his career ... and he still won the Super Bowl.
He posted career lows in yards per game (261.4), touchdowns (27), quarterback rating (92.6), and interceptions (14). The Chiefs went 11-6 and had to play the AFC Divisional and Championship rounds on the road.
After that, the rest is history.
To start this season, the Chiefs' offence looked a lot more potent. But since Rashee Rice and Isiah Pacheco were placed on injured reserve, Mahomes has struggled.
He's thrown six TD passes and six INTs, but the Chiefs are one of the two remaining undefeated teams. Until Kansas City loses, Mahomes' name will likely stay at the top of the odds board.
Other NFL MVP choices
Best value: C.J. Stroud (+500)
Texans fans are going to be happy for a long, long time.
Stroud lit the NFL on fire in his rookie season. He was first in passing yards per game (273.9), third in yards per attempt (8.2) and fifth in passer rating (100.8) among quarterbacks with more than eight games played.
He finished a pedestrian 14th in touchdown passes (23) but that number should drastically increase in 2024.
Through five weeks, the Texans are 4-1-0 and Stroud has 1,385 passing yards with seven TDs and three INTs.
Top receiver Nico Collins was recently placed on the IR but Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell are talented enough to pick up the slack in the coming weeks.
If Houston can finish as the No. 1 seed in the NFL, Stroud would be on a shortlist of MVP candidates.
MVP betting notes
- Joe Burrow (+2,000) and the Bengals are 1-4-0 but fans wouldn't be able to tell by looking at Burrow's stats. He's thrown 12 touchdowns with just two interceptions while averaging 274 passing yards per game. If Cincy can put together a strong stretch and get into a playoff position, Burrow could be a top choice for MVP.
- Josh Allen (+700) lost his WR1 and WR2 during the offseason and now has Khalil Shakir and rookie Keon Coleman as his top options. It didn't seem to matter through three weeks as the Bills started 3-0 but Allen and Co. have struggled since, losing back-to-back games.
- Can Lamar Jackson (+650) lock up consecutive MVP trophies? He carried 20-to-1 odds after Week 2 but has turned things around. Jackson has thrown seven touchdown passes with no interceptions on the Ravens' current three-game win streak.
