Is it the year of Josh Allen? Will Aaron Rodgers accomplish the incredibly rare MVP three-peat? Will Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady reach the mountaintop once again? Or will a new, fresh face such as Joe Burrow or Justin Herbert cement their legacy in NFL history?

Those questions remain to be seen, but as of mid-May 2022, Allen is the favorite with +700 odds, trialed closely by Mahomes and Rodgers (+800) and Brady at +900. Herbert (+1100), Burrow (+1300), Dak Prescott (+1400), Matthew Stafford (+1500) and Russell Wilson (+1500) trail behind them before a drop in the odds from there.

Here are the odds for current odds for the 2022 NFL MVP, as of May 18.

With the NFL’s complete 2022 schedule being released over the past week, multiple MVP candidates are pitted against each other in the opening several weeks.

Right off the bat, Stafford and the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams will take on current MVP odds leader Allen and the Buffalo Bills to kick off the NFL season. The Chiefs and Mahomes will take on Kyler Murray on the road while the Cowboys and Prescott will host the Buccaneers and Brady on the first Sunday Night Football game of the season; all during Week 1 this season.
