The quarterbacks for the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs have the best odds to be the 2023 Super Bowl MVP. Jalen Hurts is the favorite to win the award, and Patrick Mahomes isn’t far behind.

Hurts has +110 odds (47.62% implied probability) at BetMGM to be the 2023 Super Bowl MVP winner. The Eagles have a near-perfect record with Hurts under center, and the quarterback has been named a finalist for the 2022 MVP award. Philadelphia is a two-point favorite over Kansas City in the Super Bowl.

 

Mahomes has +125 odds to win another Super Bowl MVP award. The Chiefs quarterback earned the honor three years ago and is the only former Super Bowl MVP winner who will play in this year’s big game.

There’s a massive gap between the quarterbacks and the players who have the next-best Super Bowl MVP odds. Mahomes’ top target, Travis Kelce, ranks third overall with +1100 odds. Eagles receiver A.J. Brown has +1400 odds, putting him fourth on the list of candidates.

Who will win the MVP award at the 2023 Super Bowl?

Below are the current odds for players to win the 2023 Super Bowl MVP award, per BetMGM.

Why is Jalen Hurts Favored for Odds to win the 2023 Super Bowl MVP?

More often than not, the Super Bowl MVP award goes to the starting quarterback for the NFL champions. The Eagles are -130 favorites at BetMGM to win the Super Bowl. Philadelphia is 16-1 when Hurts starts at quarterback. The NFC’s No. 1 seed hasn’t even been challenged in the playoffs. After beating the New York Giants 38-7 in a divisional playoff game that was over by halftime, the Eagles blew out the San Francisco 49ers 31-7 in the NFC Championship Game.

The Eagles defense has been dominant in the playoffs, but Philadelphia will likely have to put up some points in order to beat the Chiefs. Hurts led the NFC’s top-ranked offense in the regular season. The Eagles quarterback had 4,461 yards from scrimmage in 15 games to go along with 35 total touchdowns and only eight turnovers. Hurts has nine rushing touchdowns in his last nine games. 

Patrick Mahomes' Super Bowl MVP odds

Mahomes will have two weeks to rest up and prepare for a shot at his second Super Bowl MVP award. Playing one week after suffering a high ankle sprain didn’t stop Mahomes from throwing for 326 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in the AFC Championship Game. Mahomes even ran for a first down to set up Kansas City’s game-winning field goal. With +130 Super Bowl MVP odds, Mahomes is expected to be healthy enough to be the best player on the field at State Farm Stadium. Mahomes’ 106.2 passer rating ranks first in NFL playoff history.

With Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers in the late stage of their careers, Mahomes has established himself as the best quarterback in the NFL. A 2022 First-Team All-Pro selection, Mahomes is likely going to win his second regular-season MVP award. Mahomes’ 5,250 passing yards and 41 passing touchdowns both led the league by a significant margin. If the Chiefs win their second title since 2020, Mahomes will be at the center of their championship run, once again.

 

Who has won the MVP in the Super Bowl?

Quarterbacks have historically dominated the Super Bowl MVP award, winning the honor 31 times in 56 tries. That’s not to say the trophy is assured to go to a signal caller. Cooper Kupp was the 2022 Super Bowl MVP, becoming the second wide receiver in four years to win the award. 

Eight wide receivers and seven running backs have been the Super Bowl MVP. It’s been 52 years since the only player on the losing team won the award. Tom Brady owns the record with five Super Bowl MVP trophies. Five players have won the Super Bowl MVP award multiple times.
