Joe Burrow has overtaken Josh Allen as the new consensus favorite for league MVP after throwing for 16 touchdowns over his past four games. Burrow now shows +210 odds at DraftKings, having surpassed Allen (+240), who had been the preseason favorite. This shift represents a significant liability for sportsbooks, who have consistently backed Burrow over recent campaigns.
Before this season, Burrow attracted the most tickets at Bet MGM and was considered the only top-three liability at Caesars Sportsbook. Joey Feazel of Caesars noted Burrow strengthens his case each week and represents one of the best outcomes for bettors. Meanwhile, Caleb Williams carries 16-1 odds but has amassed the largest liability among contenders due to heavy betting volume, including 12.2% of ticket share at Bet MGM.
Josh Allen's odds remained steady despite a defensive battle victory, while Brock Purdy (+425), Jordan Love (+650) and Trevor Lawrence (+900) round out the top six at DraftKings. Johnny Avello noted some bettors are taking fliers on Jared Goff at 45-1 as the season progresses.
