Aaron Rodgers is Now the Betting Favorite to Win NFL MVP

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is having one hell of a season. Sportsbooks are catching up and the odds are now reflecting Rodgers as the clear favorite to win the NFL MVP award. Most of the MVP talk centered around Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes earlier in the season, but after another crazy week from Rodgers, he’s officially leapfrogged Mahomes, and is firmly the new favorite.

Via ESPN: 

Rodgers is a -260 favorite at Caesars Sportsbook by William Hill, followed by Mahomes, whose odds drifted from -400 to +210 after Week 16.

At FanDuel, Rodgers’ MVP odds had improved to -370 as of Tuesday. A FanDuel spokesperson told ESPN that the move was based on a combination of Rodgers’ recent performance and some betting interest in the Green Bay quarterback over the past two days.

DraftKings, where Rodgers was listed as the -335 favorite, said its odds movement on the MVP market was primarily fueled by his recent performance.

His stats speak for themselves:

Aaron Rodgers definitely deserves the award with the numbers he’s putting up. His Green Bay Packers can get the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs with a win over their NFC North rival Chicago Bears on Sunday.

We know Aaron Rodgers loves to torch the Bears too. Expect him to pad those stats and lock down the MVP award.
