Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will undoubtedly be the NFL regular season MVP. Currently, he is not the favorite to win the most significant individual award: Super Bowl MVP.
Via PointsBet, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes leads with +300 (bet $ 100 to win $ 300). Next on the list is Rodgers with +325, followed by Bills quarterback Josh Allen with +475 and Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady with +625.
There is a significant drop after that, with the Packers receiver Davante Adams at +1500, the Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill at +1600 and the tight end of Chiefs Travis Kelce at +1800.
There is a long list of options, with many defensive players as well. Broncos linebacker Von Miller won the Super Bowl 50 award, and Seahawks linebacker Malcolm Smith two years earlier. It is usually a quarterback prize, but recipients have won four of the last 16 times.
A running back won the Super Bowl MVP award for the last time 23 years ago, when Terrell Davis secured the honors for the Broncos. He is the only MVP in the position since Ottis Anderson in Super Bowl XXV.
In all, running backs have won the award only six times. Defensive players have won nine times.
