Super Bowl MVP betting opportunities
It will come as no surprise to football fans that the favorite to win the Super Bowl LVI MVP award is the same man who won the Super Bowl LIV, the Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes enters the race at 4.5.
The Chiefs star quarterback is closely followed by the Packers starman this season Aaron Rodgers who comes in at 6.25 across the majority of top-tier oddsmakers. The odds are clearly based on the teams most likely to make it to the Super Bowl LVI, with the Packers and Chiefs slated to be the most likely teams in attendance.
The Chiefs are the strongest team in the league by some distance. We’ve been saying this since the season started, it’s as if they haven’t really been trying in the regular season and we expect to see them move up a gear or two in these last few games.
Rodgers has been playing the season of his life this year and interestingly for bettors, Rodgers has the highest ticket percentage at 18%, closely followed by the favorite in the NFL Super Bowl MVP odds Mahomes at 10%.
For those bettors that prefer a long shot, or just don’t want to back the favorites in the oddsmaker’s eyes, the rest of the MVP potentials look like this:
- Drew Brees – 8.50
- Josh Allen – 10.00
- Lamar Jackson – 11.00
These are the top 5 contenders. Will it be Mahomes making a repeat of last year, producing a dominant performance to overcome whoever it may be on that February Sunday? Could it be the Saints QB Drew Brees claiming his second MVP award, having won it back at Super Bowl XLIV where the Saints beat the Colts 31-17?
Avoiding a Super Bowl MVP quarterback bet
Although quarterbacks claim the award the most out of any position on the field, history has shown that anyone can claim the top prize. Twelve of the previous 20 awards have gone to QBs, but with some unbelievable receivers playing for teams in contention for the Super Bowl LVI – could we see it going to a player in a different position?
Let’s take a look at the odds for players in other positions commanding a position in the Super Bowl MVP odds this year:
- Davante Adams – 25.00
- Tyreek Hill – 21.00
- Travis Kelce – 21.00
The best non-QB odds offer odds as longshots. The Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill is electric and is capable of an MVP performance, which would likely be facilitated by the brilliance of Mahomes distribution – which makes this a real outsider wager.

More Super Bowl Prop Bets
In a typical football game, the majority of prop bets will deal with player statistics. The more prominent a player is, the greater the likelihood that more player props will be available for that player when betting on the Super Bowl. There’s a wide variety of NFL player prop types available, and the list is growing. Here are some of the types of NFL player props you can expect to see listed at a sportsbook:
- QB passing yards
- QB completions
- QB interceptions
- RB rushing yards
- RB rushing plus receiving yards
- WR receiving yards
- WR receptions
- Combined rushing + receiving yards
- Head-to-head player props (who will outperform who?)
Super Bowl Player Props Example
The over/under total for Lamar Jackson’s passing yards in a game. Similar to standard bets, you’ll often find these with a betting line for both sides of the wager.
- Lamar Jackson over 245.5 passing yards (-130)
- Lamar Jackson under 245.5 passing yards (+110)
Using this example, a $130 wager on the over would win a bettor $100 for a total payout of $230 should Jackson throw for 246 or more passing yards. A $100 wager on the under would return $110 for a total payout of $210 should Jackson throw for 245 yards or less.
