Writer’s MVP Picks for this Season

Favorites

Lamar Jackson +110
Josh Allen +360

It’s going to be tough to beat Lamar. Jackson is an overlay at +110.

Unless he completely falls apart, the Baltimore Ravens quarterback should win a second straight MVP.

Heading into NFL Week 11, Lamar has thrown for 2,669 yard, 24 TDs, and 2 interceptions.

He’s dominating in every way imaginable.

The one player that appears capable of beating Lamar for the MVP is Josh Allen.

Allen’s stats aren’t as good as Lamar’s but the Bills have a better record and Allen doesn’t have a running back like Derrick Henry to lean on.

Still, Jackson is the top pick among the favorites.

NFL MVP Favorites Pick: Lamar Jackson

Smart

Patrick Mahomes +650
Jalen Hurts +1400

The Philadelphia Eagles are 7-2 and ended the Dallas Cowboys’ playoff chances in their last game.

The reason is because of Jalen Hurts’s brilliance at the QB position.

For sure, Saquon Barkley has made a big difference but Hurts is the leader.

However, Patrick Mahomes is the smart choice.

The Ravens are 7-3 and may not win the AFC North. Pittsburgh is 7-2 straight up.

Mahomes leads the lone remaining undefeated team in the NFL.

Patrick’s stats aren’t awe inspiring but Mahomes is the unquestioned leader of the league’s top team.

Also, in the second half, Mahomes could step it up, which is why Patrick is the smart choice over Hurts.

NFL MVP Smart Choices Pick: Patrick Mahomes

Longshots

Kyler Murray +2200
Joe Burrow +3000

Burrow is posting MVP like stats.

However, the Cincinnati Bengals aren’t winning enough to make the playoffs.

If Burrow turns the team around in the second half of the season, Cincinnati could get it done.

Still, it’s tough to look past how well Kyler Murray is playing.

The Arizona Cardinals’ quarterback was supposed to lead one of the worst clubs in the NFL this season.

Instead, he leads a 6-4 team that is ahead of the Seahawks, Rams, and 49ers in the NFC West.

Murray is averaging 8.1 yards per carry and has thrown 12 TDs to just 3 interceptions.

He’s become one of the most consistent and solid quarterbacks in the NFL.

The man can ball. Kyler rates the choice over Joe Burrow as the underdog pick to win the NFL MVP.
