Josh Allen Leads Early 2026 NFL MVP Betting Market
The Buffalo Bills quarterback is listed as the +550 favourite, ahead of Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert and Drake Maye.
Josh Allen has emerged as the early favourite for the 2026 NFL MVP award, with Fox Sports listing him at +550 through bet365 Sportsbook as of 8 September.
Allen leads a market that places Lamar Jackson at +800, Joe Burrow at +900, and Justin Herbert and Drake Maye at +1000. The odds reflect an early betting market and may change before the award is decided.
The ranking follows a narrow 2025 MVP race in which Matthew Stafford defeated Maye by one first-place vote, 24 to 23, and by five points overall, 366 to 361.
Fox Sports reports that Allen won the 2024 MVP after receiving 27 first-place votes and finished third in the 2025 voting with two first-place votes. Jackson, a two-time winner, was unanimously selected in 2019 and also won in 2023.
