It’s fascinating how the NFL Most Valuable Player betting markets fluctuate after a star player has an incredible game or a miserable game.
After throwing for 372 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday’s win over Carolina, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes continues to climb up the NFL MVP odds board. PointsBet Sportsbook is dealing Mahomes at +220, so a $100 bet would win $220 and pay out $320. The reigning Super Bowl MVP was as high as +450 last month.
Mahomes’ rise up the page directly coincides with Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson‘s recent regression. Wilson was actually a -140 favorite to win the award three weeks ago, but Seattle has dropped two of their last three games. Wilson fumbled twice and threw two interceptions in Sunday’s 44-34 loss at Buffalo.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers currently sits on the three line at +400. Rodgers shredded San Francisco last Thursday night to the tune of 305 yards and four touchdowns.[[ad:athena]]
After the aforementioned “Big Three,” there’s a major drop down to everybody else in the field. PointsBet has Buffalo’s Josh Allen (+1800) fourth, followed by Arizona’s Kyler Murray (+2800), Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger (+3000), Tampa Bay’s Tom Brady (+3000) and New Orleans’ Drew Brees (+4000).
Minnesota’s Dalvin Cook is the first non-quarterback at +4000 and all he’s done is churn together 478 total yards and six touchdowns in his last two games. Wowza. Cook is certainly the biggest riser in the market heading into a very winnable game Monday night at Chicago.
Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson was +500 seven weeks ago, but he’s +5000 right now. That’s a pretty wild slide for the man who took home the hardware last year. Since September, Jackson has only passed for 200 yards in a game once.
A little bit lower on the sheet, you’ll find Tennessee’s Derrick Henry holding steady at +5000, then New Orleans’ Alvin Kamara and Henry’s teammate Ryan Tannehill at +6600.
