The 2023 NFL season ended with Lamar Jackson winning his second NFL MVP in just six seasons of play. With the 2024 season kicking off, Jackson will look to become the seventh player to win three MVPs, but not if others like Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Joe Burrow can get in the way.
Even though it’s early, we’re already looking ahead to the 2024-25 NFL MVP betting odds, which primarily features quarterbacks. This is because the last time a non-QB won NFL MVP was in 2012 when Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson took home the honors.
Who is favored to win MVP in 2024? What are the current odds for the NFL MVP? Below, you can find the latest NFL MVP odds from DraftKings.

NFL MVP odds 2024-25: Breaking down biggest favorites
- Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs: With three career NFL and Super Bowl MVPs, it’s no surprise that Mahomes is mentioned here again. He’s an annual threat to lead the NFL in passing yards and touchdowns while keeping the Chiefs in first place. Perfect formula to win, but having five interceptions through four games isn’t a good way to start.
- Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills: Boasting a tantalizing combination of arm talent plus escapability, Allen is certainly one of the best young QBs in football. After finishing as the NFL’s touchdown leader in 2023, now he doesn’t have Stefon Diggs by his side, which makes the Bills QB a risky betting option. Yet, Allen hasn’t thrown any interceptions so far, and his dual-threat potency makes him a top MVP candidate early on.
- Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens: While injuries got in the way of Jackson’s success in the past, he has since shown that there aren’t any long-term concerns. Few quarterbacks are more dangerous with the ball in their hands than the two-time NFL MVP winner. The Ravens have started slow, but it’s not wise to count Jackson out of the race this early.
- C.J. Stroud, Houston Texans: If Stroud can lead what was perceived to be a bad Texans team to the playoffs in his first year as a rookie when he didn’t even know what he was doing, imagine what he can do once he becomes a seasoned vet with an even better supporting cast. Stroud’s Texans are expected to be one of the best teams in the AFC and he’s been one of the best quarterbacks in 2024.
- Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals: Injuries have slowed Burrow’s progress in two out of his four NFL seasons, but he’s one of the best QBs in the NFL. If the Bengals’ offense gets back on track, why can’t Burrow win his first MVP? He’ll have to turn the Bengals’ season around first.
- Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers: No one had Purdy on their list of MVP candidates after he got drafted. As long as he can keep leading the 49ers to victory, Purdy will remain a prime candidate to win MVP. He’s making more mistakes, and to no surprise, the 49ers are losing more, hurting Purdy’s chances to win MVP.
- Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles: Hurts is annually a top MVP candidate because of his ability to rack up touchdowns through the air and on the ground. But now that Saquon Barkley is soaking up some touchdown opportunities, Hurts will have to be even more effective as a passer. So far, Hurts has thrown four interceptions and fumbled twice, which doesn’t help.
- Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys: After being tied for throwing the most interceptions in 2022, Prescott’s story was much different in 2023. While the Cowboys dominated many of their opponents, Prescott didn’t have to pass as much as his peers, yet he still put up some of the most impressive numbers anyway and is a bonafide MVP candidate in the future too. But first the Cowboys need to prove they’re one of the best teams in the NFC.
- Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers: Three years of sitting on the bench sparked a fire in Love’s heart that has yet to go out. The first-year starter brought the Packers to the playoffs in his first year. We’re eager to see what he can do with his newfound confidence in his supporting cast, but missing time won’t help with his MVP case.
- Aaron Rodgers, New York Jets: The four-time MVP can’t be counted out of this race. He may be 40, but Rodgers is as motivated as ever to show he’s capable of becoming the second QB to lead the Jets to a Super Bowl win.

- Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers: Now that Herbert is paired with an offensive-minded head coach, we should see Jim Harbaugh get more out of the Chargers’ franchise QB than ever before. Boasting one of the biggest arms in the NFL, along with plenty of mobility, Herbert should be viewed as a legit MVP candidate.
- Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins: Can a wide receiver win MVP? It’s never happened before, but prior to his injury Hill was on track to become the first pass-catcher to record a 2,000-yard season. His impact on the Dolphins’ offense can not be ignored. But can he have a better year than the top QBs? That’s a question voters will have to consider. Yet first the Dolphins need to find a QB who can get him the ball.
Bottom line: As we saw last season, the MVP race doesn’t truly take shape until the final stretch of the season, when playoff teams start becoming established.
