Jackson is currently a 225 favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is second with 450. Other players with odds higher than 10-1 are Bills quarterback Josh Allen (500) and Lions quarterback Jared Goff (850). In fact, the vote will take place the day after Week 18, when the play-off trees will be confirmed. The quarterback of the best team in each conference is actually a finalist for the MVP award.
Ravens running back Derrick Henry, who is currently on pace to break the single-season rushing record but has a 40-1 MVP chance, could steal Jackson’s vote. Anyone interested in betting on the MVP award (it might be fun to cut bills into paper dolls) should first think about which teams will be the heavy favorites. Maybe that’s where the MVP award comes from.
