Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen leads the Super Bowl MVP odds board despite stars Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley leading the Super Bowl favorites, the Philadelphia Eagles.

Favorites to Win Super Bowl MVP

Josh Allen (+250) - QB, Buffalo Bills

Allen was a second-team All-Prop and will finish in the top two in MVP voting. He’s had a great start to the playoffs, averaging 232.5 total yards and two touchdowns per game while blitzing past the Denver Broncos and outlasting the Baltimore Ravens in freezing weather. The 28-year-old also went for 262 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception when he helped take down the Chiefs in Week 11, marking their starters’ only loss of the regular season.

Patrick Mahomes (+270) - QB, Kansas City Chiefs

Mahomes had a very slow start to the year before he picked it up down the stretch, now reaching 19 touchdowns and two interceptions over his final nine games. He only went 16/25 for 177 yards and a touchdown in KC’s divisional win over the Houston Texans, and he will need to move the ball with greater purpose to help beat the Bills. Regardless, no player is more comfortable in high-leverage moments or close games than the two-time MVP and three-time champ.

Jalen Hurts (+500) - QB, Philadelphia Eagles

Hurts is walking on thin ice in the City of Brotherly Love. Since returning from a two-and-a-half week layover with a concussion and across two playoff games, he averaged 129.5 passing yards and 53 rushing yards, and has three total touchdowns to zero interceptions. Hurts also appeared to injure his knee in Sunday’s snowy win over the LA Rams and is going to need to find a way to produce against a high-flying Washington team to even reach the Super Bowl.

Saquon Barkley (+500) - RB, Philadelphia Eagles

The first-year Eagle just torched the Rams for 205 yards and two touchdowns, bringing him to 324 rushing yards in just two playoff games. He eclipsed 100 yards rushing in eight of his last nine games and racked up 196 rushing yards, 52 receiving yards, and four touchdowns in two games against the Commanders. With Hurts struggling, Barkley should be the focal point of the offense for the rest of the playoffs.

Jayden Daniels (+800) - QB, Washington Commanders

Daniels just ripped the Lions to the tune of 299 passing yards, 51 rushing yards, and two touchdowns, and now leads the playoffs in passing yards, passing touchdowns, and QBR, all as a rookie. Road playoff teams are only 2-8, but the Commanders have both of those wins and no losses. The Eagles only allowed one player to throw more than two touchdowns in a game, but that was Daniels when he threw five TDs in Week 16.

Who Won the Super Bowl MVP in 2024?

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes won the 2024 Super Bowl MVP after he went 34/46 for 333 yards, two touchdowns, an interception, and 66 rushing yards in a 25-22 overtime win against the San Francisco 49ers. That was Mahomes’ second straight Super Bowl MVP award and the third of his career.

Super Bowl NFL MVP History

Six of the last eight Super Bowl MVP winners were quarterbacks. The two that weren’t were wide receivers.

Chuck Howley was the first defensive player and the only player ever to win the Super Bowl MVP as a member of the losing team. He accomplished this in Super Bowl V, when he had two interceptions and a fumble recovery but saw his Dallas Cowboys lose to the Baltimore Colts 16-13.

The most improbable Super Bowl MVP is arguably ex-Philadelphia Eagles QB Nick Foles, who in 2017 took over for MVP frontrunner Carson Wentz after he suffered a season-ending knee injury. Foles helped Philly beat the Tom Brady-led New England Patriots while throwing for 373 yards and three touchdowns and even caught a touchdown on a trick play.
