The 2025-26 season is complete, but the NFL is a year-round betting (and content) sport, which means it's never too early to look at odds for next season's MVP.

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford won the MVP award this past season, in a very narrow vote over New England Patriots QB Drake Maye. Stafford threw for 4,707 yards and 47 touchdowns (with eight interceptions) en route to leading the Rams to a 12-5 regular season record and a playoff berth.

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen — the 2024-25 MVP winner — opened as the favorite to win the award next season at BetMGM at +600 odds, followed by Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (+700) and Maye (+900).

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes — currently rehabbing a torn ACL suffered in Week 16 last season — opened with 11-1 odds and has already been bet down to 10-1. BetMGM's John Ewing noted that Mahomes has the most money wagered in the first few days of this market being open at 46%.

In the very early going, Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams (16-1) has the most bets to win the award, followed by Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix (35-1). Nix fractured his ankle in a AFC divisional round, but is expected to have a full recovery well before next season kicks off.

Stafford opened tied for the eighth-best odds with Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence at 14-1.

Super Bowl champion QB Sam Darnold opened with 25-1 odds, just behind Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (20-1) and 49ers QB Brock Purdy.

Rams WR Puka Nakua and Seahawks WR Jaxson Smith-Njigba opened with the best odds for any non-QB at 100-1.
