NFL MVP Odds: Bills QB Josh Allen Emerges as Favorite

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen dominates in win against Miami Dolphins, making him the favorite for NFL MVP.

In a stunning display of dominance, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills completely dismantled the Miami Dolphins in a highly anticipated divisional matchup on Sunday. This resounding victory solidified the Bills' position as the team to beat in the AFC East. After a jaw-dropping 50-point win in the previous week, Miami was left humbled and defeated, suffering a devastating 28-point loss, largely due to Allen's exceptional performance against the Dolphins.

The game not only showcased Buffalo's superiority over Miami but also propelled their quarterback, Josh Allen, to the forefront as the clear frontrunner for the coveted NFL MVP award. Allen's journey this season had a rocky start, with the Bills struggling in their season opener against the Jets, resulting in a disappointing 0-1 record, marred by Allen's three interceptions and four turnovers.

However, Allen and his team have experienced a remarkable turnaround since that initial setback. Buffalo has emerged victorious in three consecutive games, with Allen significantly improving his turnover statistics. Following the opening week defeat, Allen has emerged as the league's top performer, boasting an impressive 10 total touchdowns and a remarkable passer rating of 125.8. The Bills have outscored their opponents by a staggering margin of 123-33.

The sportsbooks have taken note of Allen's exceptional performances, and he now stands as the frontrunner for the NFL MVP award. Previously, this distinction belonged to the Dolphins' quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, after Week 3. However, Allen's formidable defense successfully stifled Tagovailoa, causing him to slip down the rankings.

Currently, Allen holds the lowest odds of +350, making him the favorite to win the MVP award this season. Nonetheless, Tagovailoa and Patrick Mahomes remain strong contenders, with both quarterbacks closely trailing Allen at +500, according to BetOnline.

Several other players have also made notable moves in their quest for the MVP title. Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson round out the top five contenders, both standing at +900. However, it is worth mentioning that the sixth-ranked player defies convention by not being a quarterback. Thanks to his exceptional start, San Francisco 49ers' running back, Christian McCaffrey, has made significant strides up the rankings, currently holding a designation of +1000. The last non-quarterback to claim this prestigious award was Adrian Peterson back in 2012.
