NFL MVP Odds; Mahomes Favored But Daniels, Darnold Making a Push

October 9, 2024

Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs (+250)

Preseason Odds: +500

Patrick Mahomes hasn’t had his best season yet he’s still at the top of the betting list. While he

doesn’t rank near the top of any of the key quarterback statistic categories, the two-time MVP

has his squad off to a 5-0 start. If the Chiefs continue to win without Rashee Rice and Isiah

Pacheco, who both suffered long-term injuries, Mahomes will remain in play for the award given

how depleted his offense is.

C.J. Stroud (+650)

Preseason Odds: +1000

C.J. Stroud has surpassed expectations in Year 2, as Houston is sitting at 4-1 and the addition

of Stefon Diggs hasn’t hurt his progress. The second-year pro is third in passing with 1,385

yards and has the Texans in great position to repeat as division champs. As long as Houston

continues its winning ways, Stroud will make a strong push to be named MVP in his second

year.

Josh Allen, Bills (+800)

Preseason Odds: +800

Josh Allen started off strong as the Bills won their first three games but were blown out by the

Ravens in Week 4 and then lost a heartbreaker to the Texans. Still, he’s having a solid season,

8 touchdowns and no interceptions. The Bills are still considered the favorites to win the

division, and if the can stay on track, Allen will receive votes for MVP

Jayden Daniels (+900)

Preseason Odds: +25000

Jayden Daniels started the season listed about 250/1 to win the MVP and all he’s done is led

the Commanders to a 4-1 record and showing he’s one of the elite quarterbacks already. The

rookie is #2 in yards per attempt (8.7) and fourth in QB rating. Daniels is the first player in NFL

history to pass for at least 1,000 yards and rush for at least 250 in his first five career games,

and now 300 rushing yards. But no rookie has won the award in the Super Bowl era.

Sam Darnold, Vikings (+1200)

Sam Darnold started the season as the likely backup in Minnesota but an injury to J.J. McCarthy

changed the fortunes of not only the team but Darnold himself. He has the Vikings out to a 5-0

start and is second in the NFL with 11 passing touchdowns. Darnold’s odds will continue to

drop if Minnesota keeps winning.
