As Week 11 of the 2021 NFL season gets going, it's not too early to start thinking about who might be crowned as the league's next MVP.
A surprising quarterback leads the list of favorites a little bit past the midway point: Josh Allen. The Buffalo Bills signal-caller has +300 odds to be awarded MVP after this season, according to our partner, PointsBet.
Defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady sits just below Allen with +350 odds.

No player who isn't a quarterback has a better shot than 50-1. Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is the first non-QB name on the current list of MVP favorites at +5000 odds, and he still sits behind 10 quarterbacks.
Last year's winner, Aaron Rodgers, has +900 odds to repeat the award this season. Despite his COVID-19 fiasco, Green Bay's QB moved up from +3000 odds he had in after Week 2.
