Favorites to win the 2023 NFL MVP

The race to win the next NFL MVP will continue to evolve as the offseason plays out and then over the course of the regular season. Here’s a look at the current betting favorites.

Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs

Mahomes is the reigning MVP following another stellar regular season. The Chiefs went 14-3 during the regular season and claimed the AFC West title once again. Following victories over the Jaguars and Bengals in the playoffs, the club took down the Eagles to win the Super Bowl, with Mahomes winning the game’s MVP award. He’ll be on the hunt for his third regular season MVP.

Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals

Burrow — one of the finalists to win the 2022 regular season MVP — and the Bengals fell to the Chiefs in the AFC title game. Now getting set for his fourth pro season, the former first overall draft pick has already built a strong resume. Cincinnati could well be a postseason contender once again, especially if the team’s offense continues its productive ways.

Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills

Allen and the Bills came up short in the postseason once again, falling to the Bengals in the divisional round. He was one of last year’s preseason MVP betting favorites and one of the finalists to win the award. Buffalo has advanced to the playoffs for the last four seasons in a row, but it has only made it to the conference championship once over that span.

Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles

Hurts was among the five finalists to win last year’s MVP. In addition to his passing stats, he also rushed for 760 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground. Hurts also excelled in the postseason, ending with a four-TD outing in the Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs. As Hurts gets set for his fourth pro campaign, sportsbooks are expecting Philadelphia to be in the mix of contenders once again.

Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers were one-and-done in the playoffs at the hands of the Jaguars. Herbert had another fine season, but his production dipped slightly from the previous year. He’s also entering his fourth pro season. Los Angeles will be looking to get over the hump in the AFC, and the performance of Herbert will likely be a big factor in how that shakes out.

Long shots to win the 2023 NFL MVP

The last non-QB winner of the NFL MVP award was Adrian Peterson in 2012. Last season, Justin Jefferson was among the five finalists. For the initial release of 2023 NFL MVP betting odds, he’s in the top 30. Other position players who are in the same range include Ja’Marr Chase , Tyreek Hill , Christian McCaffrey , Jonathan Taylor and Cooper Kupp .

NFL MVP line moves

Josh Allen entered last season as the betting favorite. He finished as one of the top five finalists, along with Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts and Justin Jefferson, but it was ultimately Patrick Mahomes who claimed the award. Mahomes took over the lead in the odds as the regular season was winding down and never relinquished it. For the initial release of 2023 NFL MVP betting odds, Mahomes, Burrow and Allen are the top favorites.

Popular NFL futures bets

Betting on NFL futures usually means wagering on season-long outcomes. This includes betting on the winner of the AFC or NFC, the Super Bowl or the MVP. Futures can remain active from the time NFL lines come out through most or all of the season, depending on what you’re wagering on.

Futures betting requires a long-term perspective, as you don’t receive any payouts and your wager is locked up until the outcome on which you’re betting is official.

For the MVP award specifically, the outcome can be subjective. A panel of writers votes on the award. It’s another layer to consider for betting strategy.

As an example, the vote totals of a player who is not well-regarded on a personal level by members of the media can be affected, regardless of that player’s accomplishments on the field.
