Super Bowl MVP favorites
Sam Darnold (+115)
With the season on the line, Sam Darnold brought out his A-game vs. Los Angeles Rams, connecting on 25 of 36 passes for 346 yards and three touchdowns in the NFC Championship Game.
DARNOLD DEEP TO JSN 🎯

It hasn't been all that long since he was labeled a "bust" with the New York Jets. Now, he's starting Super Bowl 60 for the Seattle Seahawks and is favored to take home the MVP trophy.
Drake Maye (+240)
Drake Maye had a horrible stat line vs. the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game, completing only 10 of 21 passes for just 86 yards, but most of the second half was played in a blizzard.
While Maye doesn't have the same caliber of weapons as Darnold, he is more agile and can help his MVP case with his legs as well as his arm.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba (+550)
If a quarterback isn't standing tall with the MVP trophy, why not explosive Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba?
JSN has been Darnold's top target all season, and he didn't disappoint in the NFC Championship Game, hauling in 10 receptions for 153 yards and a touchdown in the 31-27 victory over the Rams.
While another performance like that may tilt the scales in Darnold's direction, JSN shouldn't be automatically passed over. And if Darnold is otherwise shaky, that might help seal the deal for the wideout.
It hasn't been all that long since a WR won the award, as Cooper Kupp became the eighth wideout to do so in 2022.

How to read Super Bowl MVP odds
When learning how to bet on the Super Bowl, bettors must first understand how the odds are displayed and how to read them. The Super Bowl MVP odds are displayed in a list format with corresponding odds for each player considered an MVP candidate. The odds will reflect the implied probability of that player winning MVP.
Some sportsbooks will have a very long and detailed list with plenty of players available. Other books will list just the skill positions and key defensive contributors while adding a "field" or "other" option, which includes any player not officially listed.
Most sportsbooks in North America will list Super Bowl MVP odds in American format:
- Sam Darnold +250
- Drake Maye +280
This means that a $100 bet on Darnold will result in $250 of profit if he wins, or a $100 bet on Maye will result in $280 if he wins. Use our odds converter to switch American odds to decimal or fractional and to see how much you could win using different odds.

List of previous Super Bowl MVP winners
A Super Bowl MVP has been named in all 59 championship games, going back to 1967 when Green Bay Packers quarterback Bart Starr was named the very first Super Bowl Most Valuable Player.
Starr is one of the 33 quarterbacks to be named Super Bowl MVP. Running backs and wide receivers have each won MVP eight times, while a defensive player has been named MVP five times and a special teams player has won the award once.
Betting on the Super Bowl MVP odds was made popular in the late 1990s, as online sports betting began to boom, but has only recently been allowed in regulated land-based sportsbooks (such as Las Vegas/Nevada) since 2016.
