NFL MVP Predictions

Every MVP since 2012 has gone to a quarterback, which makes it easy to look at that position. Jackson and Burrow had remarkable statistical seasons a year ago and may be hard pressed to outperform those numbers, while Allen will be fighting voter fatigue.

There are tons of talented young QBs in the league, so this may by the year one of them gets the honor. Patrick Mahomes also cannot be counted out since he’s, for the first time since his rookie year, seemingly being overlooked and forgotten about.

NFL MVP Winner - My Pick

Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders (+850) at FanDuel

From Week 8-17 and during the playoff run to the NFC Championship Game, Daniels averaged 245.2 passing yards and 52.3 rushing yards and had 27 total TDs to eight interceptions. The Commanders invested in him by trading for star left-tackle Laremy Tunsil and versatile wideout Deebo Samuel and drafting first-round tackle Josh Conerly Jr. He’s the hot name in the NFL and just produced arguably the most impressive rookie season in league history, making him easy to back heading into his sophomore campaign.

How to Bet on the NFL MVP

The NFL is the most popular sports league in America for bettors, and the MVP is one of the most popular futures bets available.

Customers can turn to MVP and futures markets as a way to make long-term wagers instead of betting one game at a time. Bets on the NFL MVP winner can be placed at any time as long as the market is open and can be a way to manipulate value, for example, if the player of choice is coming off a poor week, or one of their top competitors just had a standout game.

NFL MVP odds are not available in every state, so check your sportsbook and state regulations to find out if your state is eligible. Online sportsbooks may have different odds for every MVP candidate, so it’s also important to cross-reference odds across multiple sportsbooks to find the best price. 

How to Read NFL MVP Odds

Reading NFL MVP odds is the same as reading any other betting odds. Any value that is preceded by a + means that a bettor must wager $100 to win the listed amount—for example, a $100 bet on +1100 odds will result in a $1,100 profit if that bet hits. Positive odds are almost always assigned to the underdog, with the only exception being if there are no negative odds values on the board.

Conversely, odds values led by a - translate to the bettor needing to risk the listed amount to profit $100. That means that -250 odds will require a $250 bet to win $100.

All outcomes (players) in futures markets usually have positive odds until late in the season, when one or a few players separate themselves from the field.

Where to Bet on NFL MVP Winner

Every sportsbook is going to have NFL odds, and as long as you’re in a state with eligible MVP odds, they should be in the futures section of the NFL menu.
