Preseason games are done as NFL teams prep for their final roster cutdown before the regular season starts on Sept. 9.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every quarterback at the top of the NFL MVP futures list has a plausible path to the award.<\/p>\n

Health, individual statistics and greater team success all come into play. Finding the best MVP futures wager comes down to determining which player has the smallest, and more realistic gap, between his present situation and an MVP season.

The first non-quarterback on the Betway futures list is Detroit Lions\u2019 running back Jahmyr Gibbs at +10000.<\/p>\n

The obvious place to go is the betting favourite, Allen. Pundits call him the most pure talent at that position in the NFL, and he has won the award before.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s already proven he can produce elite numbers and lead the Bills into contention. And knock on wood, he\u2019s managed to avoid serious injury, unlike Mahomes and Burrow.<\/p>\n

The Bills made a lot of off-season changes, including bringing in a new head coach, Joe Brady, introducing a new defensive scheme, and adding a new primary wide receiver for Allen in DJ Moore. But the pressure is on in Buffalo \u2013 their Super Bowl window is closing.<\/p>\n

Allen faces a repeat challenge, and his +550 price<\/strong> leaves little room for regression. He has to stay healthy, again keep Buffalo among the AFC\u2019s best teams, and once again separate himself from other quarterbacks capable of producing comparable numbers.<\/p>\n

Jackson has already won the award twice. He doesn\u2019t need a breakthrough; he\u2019s already established himself at an elite level, but he will need to be sufficiently better than QBs like Allen and Mahomes for voters to give him a third.<\/p>\n

Burrow is interesting at +850<\/strong>. He\u2019s the one guy out of all of them that will be relying on team success to have a shot at the MVP. Quarterbacks on teams limping into a wild-card berth rarely win MVP. If Burrow can stay healthy and the Bengals return to the top of the AFC, he\u2019ll be among the leading contenders.<\/p>\n

Mahomes\u2019 +1000 number is intriguing<\/strong>, too. No one can question his ability, reputation, or long winning record. Remember, though, MVP votes are cast before the postseason.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s coming off a serious knee injury and will somehow need the level of explosive passing numbers he\u2019s shown in the past to win another award.<\/p>\n

With Maye at +1000<\/strong>, you\u2019re backing the opposite of Mahomes. You are projecting a continued rapid ascent. There isn\u2019t an established MVP resume, unlike Allen, Jackson or Mahomes. Has Maye moved from promising young quarterback to consistent, credible MVP candidate? Patriots\u2019 fans will tell you he already has. And he was in the conversation last year, narrowly losing to Stafford. Bettors have to weigh it differently.<\/p>\n

Oddsmakers look at Stafford at +1100<\/strong> because they fear injury. Can he stay healthy and deliver a complete season of elite production?<\/p>\n

Herbert has long possessed MVP talent but hasn\u2019t been able to piece together the necessary combination of volume, efficiency, and team success. Williams\u2019 upside is considerable, but he requires the largest development leap among the leading candidates. The Bears will have to emerge as a legitimate NFC contender for him to be in the conversation by season\u2019s end.<\/p>\n

Prescott needs a revival with the Cowboys.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"editor_block","content":"

My money is on Burrow at +850<\/strong>. That\u2019s the best balance of price and plausibility. The raw talent is there. He just needs to stay on the field, and the Bengals as a team (+2000 to win the Super Bowl at Betway) need to win enough games.<\/p>\n"}],"main_image":120286},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120274"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120274\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":120293,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120274\/revisions\/120293"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/120285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
