2020 NFL MVP Odds

Betting odds on who will win the NFL Most Valuable Player award for the 2020 season are available.

Last season's MVP, Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson, is currently the second betting choice at +600 odds (Bet $100 to win $600) after throwing a league-best 36 touchdowns and rushing for 1,206 yards in only his second season in the league.

Jackson sits behind Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes (+400) of the Chiefs, who captured league MVP in the 2018 season. Mahomes missed nearly three games due to a dislocated knee in 2019, but came back to lead Kansas City to its first Super Bowl title in 50 seasons while throwing for 4,031 yards and 26 touchdowns.

QB Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks was in the running for league MVP this past season along with Jackson after leading Seattle to an 11-5 record with 31 passing touchdowns and five interceptions. Wilson (6/1) is one of 10 quarterbacks at 25/1 odds.

Favorites to Win NFL MVP

• Patrick Mahomes +400: He threw barely half the amount of touchdown passes in ‘19 than the 50 he fired off in winning MVP in his first season as a starter. He wouldn’t have beaten Lamar Jackson out even if he hadn’t missed time to a broken kneecap, but excelling in the postseason rightfully landed him the favorite’s role. With a championship under his belt and a starring role at the helm of the reigning Super Bowl favorite, Mahomes may start racking up trophies.


• Lamar Jackson +600: Last year’s award was bestowed upon him unanimously after he blew everyone away by leading the league in TD passes while rushing for over 1,200 yards, a new record for a quarterback. He obliterated defenses and helped Baltimore score an NFL-best 33.2 points per game. It’s unlikely that coordinators will fare drastically better against him in 2020, so the youngest MVP in league history is likely to be in the mix for the foreseeable future.


• Russell Wilson +600: The Seahawks’ star has been in the mix over the past three seasons, throwing 100 touchdown passes in that span. He’s no longer scrambling as much as he did earlier in his career but has the element of surprise at his disposal since the 49ers are now the team everyone is targeting in the NFC West. A surprise 13-3 run where Seattle unexpectedly claims its conference’s top seed is within reach thanks to a favorable schedule.


• Tom Brady +2000: He’ll be 43 years old when the season starts but will have more weapons around him than he’s enjoyed in years. Expect a fresh start in Tampa to re-energize Brady. Bruce Arians’ pass-happy tendencies offer plenty of rope for Brady to put up his biggest numbers in years and prove he’s got gas left in the tank. There’s value in the Bucs emerging as a player in the NFC, which means Brady’s best shot at a fourth MVP award will be this next one.

Longshot Sleeper Picks to Win NFL MVP

• Dak Prescott +2200: While his contract situation remains an obstacle, it’s likely that he’ll have a big year regardless of what the resolution ends up being. Prescott has another great weapon in rookie CeeDee Lamb, who combined with Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup, could give Dallas the NFL’s best receiving corps. Prescott set career-bests in completions, touchdowns and passing yards last season and should be even better in 2020 in a season where the Cowboys are favored to win the NFC East.


• Philip Rivers +4000: Similar to Brady, Rivers should be rejuvenated by new surroundings. He’ll have one of the NFL’s top offensive lines protecting him and will actually have a homefield advantage to work with for the first time since the Chargers left San Diego. If Rivers can trim his turnovers and produce an AFC South title for Indianapolis, he’ll emerge as a contender. Top targets T.Y. Hilton and Parris Campbell need to stay healthy, but Rivers has thrown for over 4,200 yards in seven straight seasons and should stack numbers.


• Drew Lock +8000: He was 4-1 as a starter after finally getting healthy enough to play as a rookie. With RB Melvin Gordon joining rookie receivers Jerry Jeudy and K.J. Hamler as weapons alongside holdovers Phillip Lindsay and Courtland Sutton, the Broncos will have more speed than they’ve enjoyed in years. Lock would be a lottery ticket that would pay out if Denver manages to challenge the Chiefs for the AFC West title by riding a second-round pick who is already emerging as a sleeper proving those who overlooked him wrong.


• Alvin Kamara +10000: After Drew Brees’ regarding protesting the flag on the heels of the George Floyd protests immediately proved to be divisive, the Saints may wind up becoming Kamara’s team. Already viewed as one of the most valuable running backs in the league given his versatility and skills in the open field, Kamara may need to be the galvanizing force for a New Orleans team that was expected to be one of the NFC favorites. He’s made 81 catches in three straight seasons.
