2026 NFL MVP race

Entities: Sean McDermott · Zay Jones · Buffalo Bills · Jacksonville Jaguars · Josh Allen

Overview

Early in July 2026, betting markets positioned Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen as the clear favorite for the league’s Most Valuable Player award, with odds of +550. The odds list also highlighted former MVPs such as Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert, while noting potential dark‑horse candidates from the NFC, including rookie Jaxson Dart and Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs.

A few days later, the NFL announced its official MVP for the 2026 season, naming Josh Allen as the winner. Allen’s performance—marked by elite passing and rushing statistics—helped the Bills top the AFC East and secured him the league’s top individual honor, making him the first player from a New York‑based franchise to receive the award.

The two snapshots together trace the progression from pre‑season speculation and betting odds to the eventual confirmation of Allen’s MVP status.
