No matter which online sportsbook you prefer, Mahomes is the favorite to win the award again in 2023 after taking home his second league MVP trophy in 2022. His odds of winning the renowned prize are +700, according to BetUS Sportsbook. He has odds of +650 to win the MVP from both Pointsbet and Caesars Sportsbook. While Josh Allen of the Bills and Joe Burrow of the Bengals are also in the running for the job, Mahomes is where Vegas is placing its bets.
If Mahomes succeeds, he will become the sixth player and eighth player in NFL history to win the award in consecutive years. Before the merger, one player even won the prize in back-to-back years. Only one player, an opponent of Kansas City in the AFC, has twice won back-to-back games. Mahomes would join an exclusive group that includes four active members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and one future inductee.
The five athletes who have twice been named league MVP are listed below:
Browns RB Jim Brown (Pre-merger) – 1957/1958
49ers QB Joe Montana – 1989/1990
Packers QB Brett Favre – 1995/1997
Colts QB Peyton Manning (x2) – 2003/2004 & 2008/2009
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers – 2020/2021
Mahomes would also become the seventh player with three or more NFL MVP wins should he win the award in 2023. He’d tie players like Tom Brady (2007, 2010, 2017), but he’d still be playing catch-up with Rodgers (2011, 2014, 2020, 2021) and Manning (2003, 2004, 2008, 2009, 2013).How to place a futures bet
