Even though the 2025\u201326 campaign has concluded, the NFL fuels year-round wagering and coverage, so early MVP futures are already drawing attention.<\/p>\n
Last season\u2019s MVP race was extremely close: Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford edged out Patriots QB Drake Maye. Stafford finished with 4,707 passing yards and 47 touchdowns (against eight interceptions), steering Los Angeles to a 12\u20135 regular-season mark and a playoff spot.<\/p>\n
Buffalo\u2019s Josh Allen, the 2024\u201325 MVP, is the early favorite for next year at +600 on BetMGM, trailed by Baltimore\u2019s Lamar Jackson at +700 and Drake Maye at +900.<\/p>\n
Kansas City\u2019s Patrick Mahomes, who is rehabbing a torn ACL suffered in Week 16, opened at 11-1 but has been bet down to about 10-1; BetMGM\u2019s John Ewing said Mahomes accounted for 46% of the money wagered in the market\u2019s opening days.<\/p>\n
Dallas\u2019s Dak Prescott is listed at 12-1 after a strong personal season, though the Cowboys\u2019 defensive shortcomings limited the team\u2019s overall success.<\/p>\n
Early betting has Chicago Bears rookie QB Caleb Williams with the most individual bets at 16-1, followed by Denver\u2019s Bo Nix at 35-1. Nix suffered an ankle injury in the AFC Divisional Round but is expected to be fully recovered well before next season.<\/p>\n
Stafford opened at 14-1, placing him eighth on the board behind Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence.<\/p>\n
Super Bowl winner Sam Darnold sits at 25-1, behind Commanders rookie Jayden Daniels (20-1) and 49ers starter Brock Purdy.<\/p>\n
Among non-quarterbacks, Rams receiver Puka Nacua and Seahawks wideout Jackson Smith-Njigba lead the field, each priced at 100-1.<\/p>\n
Fan Take: Early MVP markets give fans a sense of which players and teams sportsbooks expect to impact next season, and they can shift quickly with injuries, coaching changes, or offseason moves. For the sport, these odds highlight rising young quarterbacks and the sustained star power of established passers\u2014storylines that will shape narratives and betting into training camp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
