Josh Allen solidified his status as the MVP favorite in Week 1. Against a strong Houston Texans defense, he tossed three touchdown passes and ran for two more in a 36-31 victory.
The performance moved Allen’s MVP price from +650 to +450. Entering Week 2, Allen possesses 4.6% of bets and 3.8% of money wagered at BetMGM to win MVP.
Two other preseason short shots saw price adjustments as well. Lamar Jackson moved from +850 to +700 while Caleb Williams (+1600 to +900) saw a sizable adjustment. Williams scored two rushing touchdowns as the Bears scored 59 points against the Panthers.
As it stands, Williams (12.8% of bets, 14.6% of money) serves as the biggest liability to win MVP at BetMGM.
Three popular bets before the season saw significant price declines: Bo Nix, Justin Herbert and Dak Prescott. Herbert dropped from +1000 to +2000, Nix fell from +3500 to +5000, while Prescott moved from +1400 to +2500.
The two biggest movements after Week 1 belong to Jaxson Dart and Trevor Lawrence.
Oddsmakers adjusted Dart’s price from +6600 to +5000 after a win over Dallas. Lawrence, who threw four touchdown passes against Cleveland, jumped from +2500 to +1200.
Both currently sit on fewer than 4% of bets and under 5.5% of all money wagered in the MVP market.
Who is Leading the NFL MVP Race 2026?
Following Week 1, Bills quarterback Josh Allen (+450) leads the NFL MVP race. At that price, Allen possesses an 18.2% implied probability of winning his second MVP honor in the last three seasons.
Behind Allen sits Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (+700), Bears quarterback Caleb Williams and Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (both +900). Jackson seeks his third MVP win while Burrow and Williams are chasing their first most valuable player award.
