Favorites to Win NFL MVP

Josh Allen, QB, Buffalo Bills

Last season, the Buffalo Bills finished 11-6 and made it to the Divisional Playoffs before the KC Chiefs sent them home, and QB Josh Allen proved any remaining doubters wrong by becoming the unquestionable team leader on a roster full of playmaking veterans like WR Stefon Diggs.

Now the Bills are the odds makers’ favorites to win it all in 2022-23, and they are equally optimistic about how Allen will play this season, expecting this 26-year-old 6’ 5” 237-pound Pro Bowl QB to have his most productive season yet during his fifth year as an NFL pro.

Tom Brady, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Second on the list as a favorite to win MVP this season is the GOAT that has already won the award three times, but those were with the New England Patriots, and now his current team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, have never produced an MVP in all the years it has been awarded.

When you look at the receiver corps that Brady has to throw footballs at – WRs Mike Evans, Julio Jones, Chris Godwin, TE Kyle Rudolph – it’s no wonder he is high up on this potential MVP list, the 44-year-old unicorn, and 7x Super Bowl Champion still with plenty left to give.

Patrick Mahomes, QB, Kansas City Chiefs (Our Pick)

Expect Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes to have a giant chip on his shoulder this season, since last year it seemed like defenses had figured him out by taking away his deep threats and containing him in the pocket, the playmaker reluctant to ever take the easy toss.

But despite that, Mahomes’ Chiefs finished 12-5 last season and were an overtime field goal away from making it into the Super Bowl, so now the 26-year-old Texas Tech alum will have to find ways to win without his favorite target Tyreek ‘Cheetah’ Hill, but at least he has Ju Ju now.

Aaron Rodgers (4), QB, Green Bay Packers

For the last two seasons, Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has taken home the AP’s MVP Award, which brings his total to four and puts him in line to compete with Peyton Manning’s five MVP trophies, a possibility given the amount of talent that surrounds Rogers.

The Packers have an impressive receiver room, including Sammy Watkins, Randall Cobb, and Allen Lazard, plus they have a dual-threat RB, Aaron Jones, whose soft hands make the perfect check-down target, and it looks like the Pack will most likely dominate the NFC North again.

Justin Herbert, QB, Los Angeles Chargers

A lot of NFL insiders are expecting big things this season from LA Chargers QB Justin Herbert, the 24-year-old with a rocket for an arm who was the league’s Rookie of the Year in 2020, a Pro Bowler last season whose Chargers only finished 9-9 and were eliminated from the postseason.

In his two pro seasons, Herbert has completed 66% of his passes and has thrown for 69 TDs in that time, and this season he will have Mike Williams, Joshua Palmer, and Keenan Allen to target while RB Austin Ekeler provides an extra set of dependable hands out of the backfield.

Who Won the MVP NFL in 2021/22?

Last season, Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers won the MVP award for the fourth time in his career after leading the league in several categories all season including touchdown percentage (7) and interception percentage (0.8) as well as his overall rating (111.9).

To get an idea what kind of production it takes for a player to earn the league MVP, a look at Rodgers numbers in 2021 tells you – 366 completed passes off 531 targets for 4,115 passing yards and 37 TDs with 4 INTs as his Packers got eliminated in the Divisional Playoffs.

NFL MVP by Year

There has been an AP NFL MVP named every season since 1957 when Browns RB Jim Brown won his first of three MVP awards, and ever since it’s been a lineup of all stars as evidenced by this list of the past winners since 2007, mostly quarterbacks with on running back thrown in.

Teams With the Most NFL MVP Awards

The Green Bay Packers (10) have had the most MVP players on their rosters since the award was first given in 1957, while the Indianapolis Colts (9) are next in line, two historic franchises that have dominated this award, with the San Fran 49ers (5) a distant third here.
