One of the most intriguing futures bets on the board is the odds to win Super Bowl LIV MVP. While we still don\u2019t know which teams will play in the Super Bowl, we can do our best to predict which player will win the Super Bowl MVP award based in large part on which team we think will win the Lombardi trophy. Keep in mind that quarterbacks typically dominate this prop as they\u2019ve won 29 times in 53 Super Bowls. That\u2019s why the top seven on the board are all quarterbacks: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>THE FAVORITE<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>LAMAR JACKSON, BALTIMORE RAVENS<br>SUPER BOWL MVP ODDS: +275<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that the Ravens are the sports betting favorite to win the Super Bowl at +200 odds. Naturally it follows, their MVP would be the sports betting favorite to win Super Bowl LIV MVP. Jackson is coming off an absolutely brilliant season in which he threw for 3,127 yards and a league-best 36 touchdowns along with rushing for 1,206 yards and seven scores. If Baltimore is going to win the Super Bowl, there is a very good chance that Jackson is going to win Super Bowl MVP. At +275 odds, it might actually represent better value to bet on Jackson to win the MVP rather than betting on the Ravens to win the Super Bowl outright. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>NEXT IN LINE<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PATRICK MAHOMES, KANSAS CITY CHIEFS<br>SUPER BOWL MVP ODDS: +500<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Just one year after losing to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game, the Chiefs appear to be the forgotten team in the Super Bowl conversation. While Baltimore is the favorite in the AFC while the San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints lead an absolutely loaded NFC, Kansas City shouldn\u2019t be completely overlooked as a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Patrick Mahomes is finally getting healthy in time for the playoffs and the Chiefs will certainly be motivated to prove they are the better team in a rematch with the Ravens should they meet in the AFC Championship game. If you think Kansas City has what it takes to win it all, then you might want to take a shot on Mahomes to win the MVP at +500 odds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>JIMMY GAROPPOLO, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS<br>SUPER BOWL MVP ODDS: +800<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The same rule applies to the quarterbacks for the 49ers, Packers and Saints if you think those teams have the best shot to win the Super Bowl. Garoppolo, who will lead the top-ranked team in the NFC, is listed at +800 odds to win the award. Drew Brees is also listed at +800, while Aaron Rodgers is listed at +1400 odds to win. While the strength of this San Francisco team remains its defense and rushing attack, there is no denying that Garoppolo took on a larger role in the offense over the second half of the season and put up some bigger numbers. If the 49ers are going to run the gauntlet through a loaded NFC, then Garoppolo is going to need to play at an elite level. That makes him worth a look as a potential Super Bowl MVP winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>SLEEPER PICK<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>TOM BRADY, NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS<br>SUPER BOWL MVP ODDS: +1600<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>How easily do football fans forget about what the Patriots have done in recent years? New England has been to three straight Super Bowls, including two wins. With six Super Bowl rings, it should be impossible to overlook what Brady and the Patriots are capable of accomplishing as the No. 3 seed in the AFC. While the potential path to a Super Bowl has become a lot tougher, that doesn\u2019t mean it can\u2019t be done. Brady has heard a lot of noise about how bad he has looked at times this year and how he is done in the NFL. That should only serve as motivation for a team that has been disrespected all season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get the latest NFL football odds and information&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/betonline_ag\">follow BetOnline.ag on Twitter<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/betonline_ag\/\">BetOnline.ag on Instagram<\/a>&#8211;Follow for the latest odds, stats and information!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the National Football League playoffs set to begin this Saturday afternoon, this is one of the most exciting times&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":8460,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[129],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8459"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8459\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8461,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8459\/revisions\/8461"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
