2025-26 NFL MVP odds
Josh Allen, QB, Bills: +250
What to know: Allen is the reigning MVP, and already has a season-defining win under his belt — a Week 1 comeback win over the Ravens. Through three weeks (3-0), he has five passing TDs, two rushing TDs and zero interceptions. The Bills are staring at a 7-0 start, with their next four games coming against New Orleans, New England, Atlanta and Carolina.
Lamar Jackson, QB, Ravens: +300
What to know: Jackson is a two-time MVP, and finished second in the MVP race by the narrowest of margins last season. He and Allen were tied atop the oddsboard on Monday afternoon, but then the Ravens recorded their second loss of the season on Monday night, falling to the Lions in Baltimore. Jackson had 288 passing yards and three TDs, but his defense gave up 38 points, after giving up 41 in that loss to the Bills.
Justin Herbert, QB, Chargers: +500
What to know: Is Herbert becoming the superstar everyone thinks he is? He made the biggest leap of the week, after carrying his Chargers past the division rival Broncos to move to 3-0. Herbert leads the NFL in passing yards (860) and is third in passing TDs (6).
Jordan Love, QB, Packers: +1600
What to know: Love had a rough Week 3, but most QBs struggle when they take on that Browns defense. The Packers suffered their first loss of the year, and he threw for 183 yards, a touchdown and a pick. His offense only managed 10 points in Cleveland.
Jalen Hurts, QB, Eagles: +1600
What to know: Hurts is the consummate winner at QB. His Eagles are now 3-0 after eking past the Rams on Sunday, and Hurts threw his first touchdown passes of the season — three of them in the second half against L.A. He also tacked on a rushing touchdown, and has four of those on the year.
Jayden Daniels, QB, Commanders: +1700
What to know: Daniels is hurt, and did not play in the Commanders’ 41-24 win over the Raiders in Week 3. He could be back under center in Week 4 against the Falcons.
Baker Mayfield, QB, Buccaneers: +1800
What to know: The Bucs are 3-0 and two of those wins have come on the road. However, all three of those wins have come by a combined six points. On the year, Mayfield has six passing TDs and no interceptions, and has posted three QB ratings at 98 or above.
Patrick Mahomes, QB, Chiefs: +1900
LW: +1800
What to know: Mahomes is the only other two-time regular-season MVP on this list, and his Chiefs got their first win in Week 3. Sounds funny to say, right? Mahomes is not looking like his old self, as he has completed 60% of his passes just once this season and has a 3:1 TD:intereption ratio.
