The NFL season is in the rearview mirror, but now that gambling is legal in Ohio, the eagerness and anticipation for the 2023 NFL season have already picked up. Our lovely friends at Tipico, have started slowly releasing their future odds for the upcoming season and I couldn’t help but notice the Most Valuable Player (MVP) odds. The following are the top 15 players with the highest odds:
Patrick Mahomes +650
Joe Burrow +650
Josh Allen +750
Justin Herbert +1000
Jalen Hurts +1200
Dak Prescott +1500
Lamar Jackson +1500
Tua Tagovailoa +1500
Trevor Lawrence +1500
Aaron Rodgers +2000
Deshaun Watson +2000
Russell Wilson +3000
Justin Fields +3000
Brock Purdy +3000
Kirk Cousins +4000
Obviously, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, and Josh Allen are the favorites, and for good reason being on three insane teams and they are all extremely talented, but if you are like me, you are looking for a sleeper or long shot and Justin Fields at 30-to-1 odds looks like a good value.
The Chicago Bears are in a prime position to add help to this offense with their mixture of draft picks and cap room and Fields just ran for over 1,000 yards and took another step forward as a passer.
The NFL MVP award is a narrative-driven prop and people like excitement and underdogs. Fields will check both of those boxes heading into 2023. I’m not saying to empty your 401K, but springing some cash might be a solid idea. It should be noted he received an MVP vote this past season.
