2025-26 NFL MVP Odds
Welcome Matt
LATEST UPDATE: With Week 17 in full swing, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford continues to stretch out as the favorite in BetMGM's 2025-26 NFL MVP odds. Entering Week 12, Stafford was +150 chalk, but by Week 13, he was out to -235.
Now, with the Rams gearing up for a Monday night matchup vs. Atlanta, Stafford is the -325 favorite 2025 odds to win the NFL MVP. Stafford has the Rams at 11-4 in a hotly contested NFC West, from which the No. 1 seed will likely emerge.
Los Angeles is tied with San Francisco, a game behind Seattle (12-3). Stafford has completed almost 66 percent of his passes, for 4,167 yards and 40 touchdowns.
QB Drake Maye's breakout season for the New England Patriots (12-3) has him as the second choice in odds to win NFL MVP. Maye has thrown for 3,947 yards and 25 TDs, against eight INTs, at one point leading the Pats on a 10-game winning streak.
When odds first posted back in February, Stafford could be had at +5000 and Maye at +6600. But that's all changed with the Rams an atop Super Bowl odds and the Patriots a league-leading 12-3.
Much has changed in the past two months. After Week 9, when the Buffalo Bills beat the Kansas City Chiefs, Josh Allen was the +160 favorite, followed by Patrick Mahomes at +350.
Now, Allen is distant third choice at +2800, and Mahomes came off the board after tearing an ACL in Week 15.
Tickets, Money, Liability
LATEST UPDATE: Baker Mayfield surprisingly continues to lead the ticket count in BetMGM's 2025 NFL MVP odds market. But that's all due to heavy early-season action on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB.
However, with the Bucs (7-8) losing six of their last seven games, Mayfield has slid out to a huge +50000 (500/1). He was as short as +1200 prior to Week 9, when the Bucs were 6-2.
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow has been off the board for months, yet is still No. 2 in ticket count. Burrow took a ton of preseason/early-season action before suffering a Week 2 toe injury that he just returned from in Week 13.
"Burrow was the most-bet-on player in the offseason, by an overwhelming amount," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.
Rounding out the top five in tickets in 2025-26 NFL MVP odds:
- Lamar Jackson (now off the board)
- Maye
- Allen
Jackson was the preseason favorite for the honor at +450. But he missed three games with a hamstring injury and fell as far as +10000 (100/1) in odds to win NFL MVP. He returned in Week 9 and led four straight Baltimore Ravens wins while getting as short +3000.
However, after a 1-3 Ravens slide and another injury, Jackson is off the board. The top five in money in BetMGM's NFL MVP odds:
- Maye
- Mahomes
- Stafford
- Allen
- Mayfield
Maye is BetMGM's largest liability in 2025-26 NFL MVP odds.
Interestingly, Stafford is finally getting notable interest at BetMGM. After Week 9, Stafford was 15th in ticket count and 16th in money; after Week 12, he was 10th in tickets and a more respectable seventh in money.
Now, as noted above, Stafford is third in money, but he's still just ninth in ticket count.

How is the Winner Determined in NFL Most Valuable Player Odds
The NFL MVP award is handed out annually to the top player of the regular season. The award is voted on by a panel of 50 sportswriters selected by the Associated Press (AP). The award is usually announced the night before the Super Bowl.

NFL MVP History
The NFL MVP has been dominated by quarterbacks, who have won the award 50 times. Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen, always among the favorites these days, earned his first NFL MVP award following the 2024-25 season.
Before last season kicked off, Allen opened at +800 in NFL MVP odds. So if you'd bet $100 on Allen at those odds, then you would've won $800.
