The Top Four US Sportsbooks Weigh-In on the Top Five MVP Candidates for the NFL

The majority of legal bets in the US are taken by FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM and Caesars Sportsbook. One of the most popular bets for the NFL is the Most Valuable Player in the regular season. Those four US sportsbooks have recently released the odds for the top five players who might have a shot of winning the NFL's MVP award this season.

All of the top five NFL players are quarterbacks with high-profile teams. Patrick Mahomes leads the list as MVP last year. Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Justin Herbert and Jalen Hurts are also on the list as the most recognizable faces in the league. All of these NFL players should factor in the votes by the Associated Press once the regular season gets underway this September.
