NEW ORLEANS – Super Bowl MVP odds are out and Patrick Mahomes is the favorite at -105. With only one player (Chuck Howley in 1971) winning the award from the losing side, bettors should pick the best player from the team that they think will lift the Lombardi Trophy.

The two starting quarterbacks are typically the favorites to win the award but this is not the case this year at legal Super Bowl betting sites.

Patrick Mahomes To Win Super Bowl MVP -105

Patrick Mahomes has won Super Bowl MVP in all three of his Super Bowl wins. Out of the last 15 Super Bowls, the winning quarterback has won the award 11 times.

As early Super Bowl 59 lines favor Kansas City by two, Mahomes is the favorite to win MVP.

If the Chiefs do win the Super Bowl, it is hard to imagine any player outside of Mahomes taking the Most Valuable Player Award. The Chiefs are so well-rounded on offense that none of their playmakers particularly outshine others consistently.

Travis Kelce was the leading receiver in the Divisional Round with 117 yards and a touchdown but only had two receptions in the NFC Title game.

In that conference championship game, Xavier Worthy was the leading receiver with 85 yards and a touchdown. That was the most yards the rookie has recorded in any NFL game.

Kareem Hunt has found the endzone in his last four games but has not been explosive enough this season to put up a Super Bowl MVP-winning game. The same goes for a beat-up Isiah Pacheco who has averaged only 6.25 carries per gamer in his last four.

If any team has a chance for a non-quarterback to win the award for Super Bowl 59, it is the Philadelphia Eagles.

Saquon Barkley To Win Super Bowl MVP +275

Only six running backs have ever won Super Bowl MVP in NFL history. Terrell Davis was the last running back to win the award, after recording 157 yards and three touchdowns on 30 carries for Denver during Super Bowl 32.

Even though it is not common for a running back to win MVP, Saquon Barkley is no ordinary back. He has recorded 100+ rushing yards in all three playoff games and has five total postseason rushing touchdowns. February 9th is not only the Super Bowl but also Saquon Barkley’s 28th birthday.

Three of Barkley’s 15 carries in the NFC Title game resulted in touchdowns and he finished with 118 yards on the ground.

In the regular season, Saquon averaged over 125 yards rushing per game and scored 15 total touchdowns in 16 games.

The Chiefs allowed James Cook to rush for 85 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries in the AFC Championship and allowed Joe Mixon to record one touchdown and 85 yards rushing in the Divisional Round.

If Saquon Barkley continues to get 15 to 20 carries in the Super Bowl, he is one of the best bets at legal sports betting sites to win Super Bowl MVP.
