Jalen Hurts has the best odds to win the NFL MVP Award

Over the course of this Eagles season, I've been monitoring Jalen Hurts' odds for the NFL MVP Award. For the first time, Hurts is the top dog on the betting markets to bring home the hardware. 

After a clunker from Josh Allen against the Jets, Hurts has leapfrogged the Bills' quarterback as the betting favorite to win MVP. Here are the odds on DraftKings Sportsbook:


Player Team Odds 
Jalen Hurts Eagles +250 
Patrick Mahomes Chiefs +275 
Josh Allen Bills +300 
Lamar Jackson Ravens +1200 
Joe Burrow Bengals +2000 
Geno Smith Seahawks +2000 

Hurts being No. 1 here might not even be the most surprising thing. Imagine someone telling you in August that Geno Smith would be tied for fifth in MVP odds halfway through the season.

Last week, I covered that Hurts was the favorite to win the Offensive Player of the Year Award. That remains true on DraftKings. Look at these odds:

Jalen Hurts Eagles +300 
Tyreek Hill Dolphins +400 
 Justin JeffersonVikings +900 
Cooper Kupp  Rams+1000 
Nick Chubb Browns +1100 
Lamar Jackson Ravens +1100 

I'm of the mindset that MVP should be a QB award and that OPOY should go to the best non-QB offensive player. I'm sure Eagles fans wouldn't complain if Hurts grabbed both awards though!
