2023 NFL Betting Preview: Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes Open as Co-Favorites to Win MVP

Patrick Mahomes continued the blistering start to his career in 2022, winning league MVP and the Super Bowl.

The Chiefs’ superstar quarterback is the favorite to claim the hardware again next season, but he’s got company.

Joe Burrow has identical 2023 MVP odds as Mahomes, a major nod of respect from the sportsbooks to the Bengals’ talented signal-caller.

Mahomes and Burrow are the co-favorites with odds of +650, while two other AFC quarterbacks round out the four with the best odds, per DraftKings on February 14:

  • Joe Burrow +650
  • Patrick Mahomes +650
  • Josh Allen +800
  • Justin Herbert +1000

The NFC quarterback with the best MVP odds is Jalen Hurts, who checks in at +1300. Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa played like an MVP for stretches in 2022 but his season was cut short by concussions. His odds sit at +1500 to capture the hardware in 2023.

It’s unclear if Aaron Rodgers and Lamar Jackson will be back with their current teams next season, but either way, both veterans are also in the mix. Trevor Lawrence and Dak Prescott are the two other signal-callers with odds under 20-to-1.

  • Jalen Hurts +1300
  • Tua Tagovailoa +1500
  • Aaron Rodgers +1600
  • Lamar Jackson +1700
  • Trevor Lawrence +1700

Brock Purdy was Mr. Irrelevant a season ago, but after a promising rookie campaign with the 49ers, he enters 2023 with the 11th-best odds to win MVP. Teammate Trey Lance isn’t far behind, as he could be in the picture by winning the starting job this offseason.

  • Brock Purdy +2500
  • Deshaun Watson +2800
  • Justin Fields +3000
  • Geno Smith +3500
  • Trey Lance +3500
