Odds to Win NFL MVP (2025-2026)

Who Are 2025-26 NFL MVP Betting Favorites

When it comes to the MVP race it always seems as though it comes down to the same three or four guys every year. And this year is no different. Lamar Jackson is a two time winner of this award and is going to have another great year to try and become the seventh player all time to win three or more MVPs. Now having even more help at the wide receiver position, adding DeAndre Hopkins, and with the threat of having to deal with Derrick Henry in the run game, Jackson is going to do what he usually does and use both of these to his advantage and have another great season.

Last year’s winner Josh Allen got some rejection online and by fans who thought that there were other players who had better numbers than he did. Allen finished 14th in the league in passing yards, and tied for 7th in league for passing touchdowns. Two stats that the two guys behind him were higher ranked in. Allen got a lot of help though from the wins that he led his team to and the way that he was able to take over games. With the Bills looking to have Keon Coleman have a breakout year it will be really interesting to see if Allen can improve upon his MVP season last year and to go back to back.

The other guy who was right there last season, who led the league in both passing yards and passing touchdowns, that of course being Joe Burrow. I believe that this is Burrows time to take him this award, having one of the top wide receiver duos in the league, and the Bengals looking to get back into the playoffs, Joe Burrow should be right where he was last season and give the voters no choice but to give him the award. The only thing that had hurt Burrow was the team’s record and that was mainly part of the poor defense Cincinnati had. But drafting Shemar Stewart, and trying to get the contract situation settled with Trey Hendrickson, Cincinnati still has a lot to figure out on the defensive side of the ball which could end up hurting him like it did last year.

Value Pick

Coming off of one of the best rookie campaigns that we have seen out of a quarterback, Jayden Daniels might be a really good pick to take at +750 odds. Daniels won last season’s Rookie of the Year Award with passing for over 3,500 yards and 25 touchdowns, while also leading the Washington Commanders to the NFC Championship. There is a chance for a bit of a sophomore slump out of Daniels like how we saw out of C.J. Stroud, but with a big addition to the offense like Deebo Samuel, and Kliff Kingsbury being able to draw up some crazy schemes. There could be a really good chance that Daniels is able to take this award home.

Long Shot

Another quarterback that is coming into his sophomore season and is looking to quiet some of the doubters after a sort of lackluster season being the first overall pick. Caleb Williams at +2800 odds to win the award could be a pick to make some major money. With new head coach Ben Johnson coming in to take this stacked Chicago Bears offense to another level. I would not be surprised if Chicago finally gets their 4,000 yard passer and if that happens that would catapult Williams into the upper tier of quarterbacks as only six quarterbacks accomplished that last season. Williams has a chip on his shoulder this season and could come out swinging and with odds that good, he could be a real steal.

2025-26 NFL MVP Predictions and Thoughts

To go with one of the favorites, I really like Joe Burrow. He is working with the best offense out of the top three guys and after leading the league in passing last season, he is looking to bring that award home.

Jayden Daniels is a really good value pick to take at +750 because he is right there with the favorites but he is right before the drop off to the rest of the crowd. He is arguably the best quarterback in the NFC and has a great chance to look stronger and better than he did in his rookie season.

Caleb Williams finally is the best long shot option because I think this is going to be a boom or bust season for him. I am leaning more to the side of boom because of the talent he has and that he is surrounded with along with Ben Johnson coming in. +2800 odds for someone who just last year was considered to be one of the best quarterbacks in the league already might just be the perfect guy to go with.
