Latest News & Updates on NFL MVP Odds

We closely monitor NFL MVP odds daily and weekly across the best online sportsbooks to keep you updated on the latest trends and movements. As player performances and team dynamics shift throughout the season, these odds can change significantly. Here are the latest updates on the NFL MVP odds, highlighting which players are currently favored to win the prestigious award.

📆 Dec. 19 & Dec. 21-23: Key matchups for leading candidates in NFL MVP odds for Week 16 start a pair of Saturday games. Houston and C.J. Stroud (+50000) is at Kansas City and Pittsburgh is at Baltimore and Lamar Jackson (+700). The big question will be whether Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (+15000) will play. Mahomes injured his ankle in a win over Cleveland. He hasn't been ruled out. The Eagles, behind RB Saquon Barkley (+1400) and QB Jalen Hurts (+15000) are at division rival Washington and Jayden Daniels (+50000). Jared Goff (+2500) and the Lions are at Chicago. QB Sam Darnold (+10000) and Minnesota are at Seattle.
📆 Dec. 17: Allen remains in the favorite spot in NFL MVP odds and he moved to -1000 on the board, the only player with minus odds. His performance in a win over the Lions firmed up his odds, as he had four total touchdowns, two passing and two rushing. Allen and the Bills host New England in Week 16. Baltimore's Jackson is second. Barkley dipped to third. Goff is fourth and Darnold is next after leading the Vikings past Chicago. Mahomes, Hurts, Cincinnati QB Joe Burrow and Tampa Bay QB Baker Mayfield are next, all at +15000.
📆 Dec. 12 & Dec. 15-16: The Week 15 results for several of the top candidates in NFL MVP odds showed why these players are at the top of the board. Allen led the Bills to victory over Goff and the Lions in a game billed as a potential Super Bowl preview. Jackson threw 5 touchdown passes in a win over the Giants. Barkley and Hurts helped the Eagles top the Steelers. Mahomes was hurt in a win over Cleveland, but the Chiefs still improved to an NFL-best 13-1.

NFL MVP Odds by Player

When it comes to the NFL Most Valuable Player award, the quarterback position has dominated the conversation in recent years. Quarterbacks have won the award in 14 of the last 15 seasons, and it's no surprise that they are once again the favorites in NFL MVP odds. Here's a look at the current NFL futures odds for NFL MVP. The top players on the BetMGM board are all quarterbacks, except for Philadelphia running back Saquon Barkley, who has leaped into the conversation with his standout play.

With the 2024 NFL season underway, fans and analysts alike expect the competition to be fierce for Most Valuable Player. Several talented players will be in the running for the honor, which is awarded during Super Bowl week.

Josh Allen, Bills (-1000)

Buffalo's QB possesses all the talent in the world to win the award and this year might be his year. He has played with more consistency this season, taking better care of the ball, and he and the 11-3 Bills have already clinched the AFC East. Allen completed 23 of 34 passes (67.6%) for 362 yards and two passing touchdowns in a 48-42 win over the Detroit Lions that might be a Super Bowl preview. He had 11 carries for 68 yards and two rushing touchdowns, and the amazing performance really cemented his NFL MVP odds. This now might be Allen's award to lose. Allen is 275 of 427 for 3,395 yards and 26 TDs this season, against just five interceptions. Additionally, he has 484 yards rushing and another 11 TDs.

Lamar Jackson, Ravens (+700)

The reigning NFL MVP has played outstanding football this season, and Baltimore improved to 9-5 after Jackson's five passing touchdowns in a romp over the New York Giants. Hard to believe, but Jackson is already in his seventh season. He has been dominating as a passer and is fifth in the league with 3,580 passing yards and second with 34 TD throws. As a runner, he ranks 22nd in the NFL with 743 yards and three more touchdowns. He will be near the top of the passing stats at year's end and should be among the rushing leaders, overall and for QBs. His odds will remain solid with that type of dual-threat play.

Saquon Barkley, Eagles (+1400)

Philadelphia's prized free agent acquisition is proving the Eagles made a great move, though his pursuit of the NFL single-season rushing record was slowed. He ran for 65 yards in a big win over Pittsburgh. Still, Barkley is putting himself in a position to be the first non-QB to win the NFL MVP award since RB Adrian Peterson won in 2012. His season total is now at 1,688 yards, tops in the league, and he has 11 rushing touchdowns. He also has 31 catches for 276 yards and two more TDs. He's behind the pace needed to break Eric Dickerson's NFL single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards, but his importance to the Eagles is unmistakable.

Jared Goff, Lions (+2500)

Goff and 12-2 Detroit are considered the favorites in the NFC North following a breakthrough 2023 season in which the Lions came up one game shy of their first Super Bowl appearance. With the rise of the Vikings and Packers, though, they have a legitimate race for the division title on their hands, and now they are in a three-way tie with the Vikings and Eagles for the best record in the conference. Goff is the steady presence through it all. The Lions lost a high-scoring affair to Buffalo but haven't lost their confidence. Goff matched a career high by throwing five touchdown passes. He is completing 71.4% of his passes for the season – 314 of 440 for 3,759 yards and 30 TDs.

Sam Darnold, Vikings (+10000)

Darnold is one of the feel-good stories of the season and has the Vikings at 12-2, tied with the Eagles and Lions for the best record in the NFC and just a game behind 13-1 Kansas City. A former top pick of the Jets, Darnold is on his fourth team in seven seasons. Many feel he had not been given a fair opportunity to succeed in New York or his second stop, Carolina. He was a backup in San Fran last season and appears to finally be in an NFL setting that is fostering his development. He's completed 67.6% of his passes this season for 3,530 yards and 29 TD passes.

Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs (+15000)

Mahomes is among the favorites to win the MVP and with good reason. His stats for 2024 aren't blowing anyone out of the water, but he keeps finding ways for the Chiefs to win in their 13-1 start. Mahomes, though, was hurt in the win over Cleveland. His status is not fully known but has not been ruled out for this week's game, a Saturday matchup at home versus Houston. He has thrown for 3,348 yards and 22 touchdowns. As long as the reigning Super Bowl champs stay in the title hunt and he stays healthy, Mahomes will remain a favorite in NFL MVP odds. Mahomes checks all the boxes for a viable MVP candidate as the quarterback of a Super Bowl-contending team who can post elite production.

Jalen Hurts, Eagles (+15000)

In his fifth season, Philadelphia's leader has kept the Eagles in the thick of playoff contention and now tied with Minnesota and Detroit for the best record in the NFC at 12-2. They are on a franchise-record 10-game winning streak. Hurts is a big reason why. He and running back Saquon Barkley, a leading MVP candidate, are a great tandem. Hurts broke out of a slight slump in a vital win over the Steelers. He threw for 290 yards after not going over 200 in the three previous games. He did not throw an interception. For the season, Hurts is completing 69.2% of his passes for 2,892 yards and 18 TDs. He has added 589 yards on the ground and another 14 touchdowns.

Joe Burrow, Bengals (+15000)

Burrow is a longshot contender in NFL MVP odds more because of his individual efforts and not the Bengals' team success. Cincinnati is a disappointing 6-8, not out of the playoff chase but not really in a good position for the postseason. Burrow, though, is burning up the stats sheet. He leads the NFL in passing yards with 3,977 and touchdown throws with 36. He is completing 68.5% of his passes, 361 completions in 527 attempts - both also league highs.

Baker Mayfield, Buccaneers (+15000)

Mayfield does not get a lot of respect for his abilities outside of league circles, but he has propelled Tampa Bay into first place in the NFC South, and opponents and teammates know his value to the team. The Bucs are 8-6 with a one-game lead over Atlanta and have been spurred by Mayfield's performance. He is fourth in the NFL with 3,617 yards and has completed 70.8% of his passes. He is 328-463 with 32 TDs.

NFL MVP Odds Betting Tips

Below are some valuable MVP odds NFL betting tips to guide you when wagering on who will win the award. Consider the player's team success, as MVP winners often come from playoff-bound teams, and look for standout quarterbacks, as they frequently dominate the award. Keep an eye on long shots early in the season, as preseason value can shift quickly with strong performances.

Big numbers: Obviously, the performance of individual players is a crucial factor in determining MVP odds. Players who put up impressive stats and make game-changing plays are more likely to be considered for the award. You want to target a player who will put up huge numbers; a game manager might be extremely valuable, but he won't be a smart bet for MVP.
Winner, winner: A player's team success can also impact his NFL MVP odds. Players on teams that win a lot of games and make the playoffs are more likely to be considered for the award. For example, a quarterback who leads his team to a division title or a high playoff seed is more likely to be in the running for the MVP award than another great QB on a bad team.
Back the Quarterbacks: The NFL MVP award has essentially become a quarterback award. A non-quarterback has not won the award since Vikings running back Adrian Peterson accomplished that feat in 2012. Narrowing your focus to the quarterbacks is a prudent starting point, and then bettors can determine which signal-callers fit the above criteria in terms of posting gaudy production for a playoff-caliber team.

How The NFL MVP Award is Decided

The NFL MVP award, officially recognized and the basis for NFL MVP futures wagers, is presented by the Associated Press. A panel of 50 sportswriters conducts their voting at the conclusion of the regular season, just before the playoffs commence. This timing ensures that only the regular season's performance is considered during the vote. The announcement of the MVP award-winner takes place on the day before the Super Bowl.

Understanding NFL MVP Betting Odds

For those who are new to NFL odds, understanding NFL MVP odds can be a bit tricky. However, they are really simple to read and understand.

NFL MVP odds are essentially a way for the top NFL betting apps to predict which player will win the Most Valuable Player award for the upcoming NFL season. These odds are determined by a variety of factors, including a player's performance in the previous season, their team's overall performance and their individual statistics.

When looking at NFL MVP odds, it's important to pay attention to the value of each bet. A bet with long odds has a lower chance of winning but a higher potential payout. On the other hand, a bet with low odds has a higher chance of winning, but a lower potential payout. Odds of +1000, for example, indicates you will win $1000 on a winning $100 wager, while odds of +20000 would pay off with $20,000 – but it is significantly harder to win a bet like that.

All NFL betting sites will provide a list of NFL futures such as MVP and Super Bowl odds well before a season, which can be viewed and compared to find the best value bet. It's important to note that these odds will change throughout the season – sometimes dramatically – based on a player's performance and other factors, which include injuries or the play of top rivals.

Occasionally, sportsbooks will even offer exclusive NFL betting promos that can be used to wager on MVP odds.

Positional Analysis – NFL MVP Futures

When it comes to the NFL Most Valuable Player (MVP) award, the quarterback position has dominated the conversation in recent years. Quarterbacks have won the award in 14 of the last 15 seasons, and it's no surprise that they are once again the favorites to win MVP for the 2024-25 NFL season.

While running backs have won the award in the past, it's unlikely that we will see a non-quarterback win the award this season. However, there are a few positional players who could potentially be in the conversation if they have standout seasons. These include Tyreek Hill and Christian McCaffrey.

Quarterback: 47
Running back: 13
Fullback: 4
Halfback: 1
Kicker: 1
Defensive tackle: 1
Linebacker: 1

Noteworthy NFL MVP Winners

Lawrence Taylor: Taylor is the last defensive player to win the NFL MVP award. In 1986, he led the New York Giants to a 14-2 record and a Super Bowl victory that season. Taylor recorded 20.5 sacks and 105 tackles, and his dominant play earned him the nickname "LT."
Mark Moseley: Washington kicker Moseley is the first and only kicker to win NFL MVP back in a strike-shortened 1982 season. In an era with such top-notch play from higher-profile positions like quarterback and wide receiver, Moseley's standing as the only kicker to win MVP will likely not be threatened anytime soon.
Adrian Peterson: The last running back to win the NFL MVP, Peterson took home the award as a member of the Minnesota Vikings in the 2012 NFL season He rushed for 2,097 rushing yards, just the seventh player in NFL history to eclipse 2,000 rushing yards, as the Vikings improved from 3–13 to 10–6 and made the playoffs.
Alan Page: In 1971, Page became the first defensive player to win the NFL MVP award. Defensive tackles rarely have the production to garner MVP consideration. Page is the only true defensive tackle to win the award. There have been recent candidates such as Aaron Donald, but with his retirement, it's difficult to identify any obvious defensive tackles with MVP potential. There are also very few defensive players even listed among the top favorites.
