With the Super Bowl now a week old, it’s time to look ahead to next season.
One bet everyone loves to wager on is the NFL MVP award.
When you are thinking about who might win the award in 2024, consider these two criteria: quarterbacks who will finish with the best record in the league/ conference or guys capable of making history.
MVP has been won by the quarterback of the team with the one seed every year since 2015. The award has been won by a quarterback every season since 2012 when running back Adrian Peterson won it with 2097 yards, just nine yards short of the greatest rushing season in history.
So, who should we throw a couple of bucks on to win MVP next season?
Unfortunately, star players like Tyreek Hill and Christian McCaffrey will usually come up short unless they do something historic. And young stud quarterbacks, like CJ Stroud, who’s on track for a monster sophomore season, will most likely miss out, too, because I don’t see the Texans finishing as the number one seed.
Here are three quarterbacks worth sprinkling money on to win the award now.
Patrick Mahomes: +650 (Bet $10 to win $75 total)
When it comes to your futures portfolio, you should always have a wager on the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl and Mahomes to win the MVP. Why? It’s simple. As long as he is healthy, you can never count out Kansas City. Mahomes is a two-time MVP winner and a three-time Super Bowl champion.
Mahomes was not in the running for the award this past season, with a receiving core that was one of the worst in the league. Even with all the drops and poor play, the signal caller finished sixth in passing yards and eighth in QBR and EPA.
The Chiefs are going to retool that receiving room with a draft heavy in WRs. Plus, I see them adding a free agent or two. Mahomes will have better numbers next season, and the Chiefs should once again contend for the number one seed in the AFC.
