For the first time this season, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is not the favorite to win the NFL MVP award. 

Josh Allen (+200) jumped into the top spot in the odds after a dominant showing in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. 

Both the Bills and the Chiefs are 3-0, but Allen has outplayed Mahomes so far this season, and oddsmakers have officially made the move to put him above the Chiefs star in a market that isn’t too crowded at the top.

Patrick Mahomes Still Remains Leading MVP Candidate

While Mahomes has fallen behind Allen in the MVP odds, he is still a leading candidate to win this award.

Only Allen and Mahomes are shorter than +1100 to win the MVP this season, and they both are on contending teams that were expected to get off to fast starts – and did. 

Mahomes has been fine in 2024, but he’s turned the ball over a lot (four interceptions in three games) and is completing just 69.6 percent of his passes – way worse than Allen’s 75.0 percent completion percentage to go along with zero interceptions. 

Still, Kansas City has knocked off three playoff-caliber teams – the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons – through three weeks. 

Bettors that are holding a Mahomes MVP ticket shouldn’t be worried, but he’s going to need to play even better to overtake Allen at this point in the season.
