Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen is second in the odds at +280. Allen's Bills are 7-2, and Allen has completed 64.1 percent of his passes for 2,001 yards and a 17-2 TD-INT ratio while rushing 47 times for 211 yards and three TDs. After throwing 14+ interceptions in each of the last three seasons, Allen has improved that part of his game this year.

Third in the odds is Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff at +650. He has an NFL-best 74.9 completion percentage and has thrown for 1,840 yards and a 14-4 TD-INT ratio in eight games, he and his team haven't lost a game since Week 2, and he hasn't thrown a pick since Week 3.

Mahomes is fourth in the MVP market at +700. He and the Kansas City Chiefs are undefeated at 7-0, but Mahomes is on pace for career-lows in touchdown percentage (3.6), passing yards per game (235.9) and passer rating (84.9) and a career-high in interception percentage (4.0). Through seven games, he has completed 68.4 percent of his passes for 1,651 yards and an 8-9 TD-INT ratio.

NFL MVP trophy

The NFL Most Valuable Player trophy features a bronze NFL logo attached to a pedestal. It is similar to the other trophies for awards announced at the NFL Honors ceremony. 

From 1938 to 1946, the NFL MVP was awarded with the Carr Trophy, named after commissioner Joseph Carr. 

NFL MVP announcement

The NFL MVP is announced at the NFL Honors show. The 2024 edition was on Thursday, February 8, beginning at 9 PM ET. Fans can watch it on CBS, NFL Network, or Paramount+.

NFL MVP voting

While the NFL itself recognizes the MVP award, the actual voting and decision-making for the most prestigious NFL MVP award is done by 50 media members affiliated with the Associated Press (AP). 

The voting panel consists of 50 sportswriters across the NFL. Prior to 2022, each voter cast one vote for the award winner. Since 2022, each voter ranks their top five choices for MVP, with points assigned based on ranking: 10 points for 1st, 5 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd, 2 for 4th, and 1 for 5th. This allows for more nuanced consideration of multiple candidates.

Other organizations sometimes present their own "MVP" awards, such as the Pro Football Writers Association, but the Associated Press award is widely considered the most prestigious and official NFL MVP recognition.
