Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow overtook Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen as the NFL MVP betting favorite on Sunday, November 8, and held that position through Tuesday, November 10, 2026, with +210 odds at DraftKings.
Burrow’s rise followed 16 touchdown passes over his last four games. Allen played in a defensive battle against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football and delivered an unremarkable performance — the source provides no completion, yardage or touchdown statistics.

Caesars Sportsbook head of football Joey Feazel told ESPN via email that Burrow has drawn consistent betting volume since the preseason and is now one of the top liabilities for sportsbooks. Feazel said Burrow’s odds have been shortened weekly as his performance strengthened his MVP case.
DraftKings director of sports operations Johnny Avello confirmed Burrow and Allen have drawn steady betting action since the start of the season. Avello said Burrow is neither a major winner nor a major loss for DraftKings at current odds.
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams ranks sixth on DraftKings’ MVP board at 16–1, with 12.2% of the bet share at BetMGM — the highest among all contenders. Feazel called Williams the player Caesars most wants to avoid, citing wide odds swings after his injury-related absence earlier this season.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy ranks third at +425, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love fourth at +650, and Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence fifth at +900. Avello noted that some DraftKings bettors are placing long-shot wagers on Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff at 45–1.
According to verified ESPN data, Burrow is 29 years old, in his seventh NFL season, and was selected first overall by Cincinnati in 2020. Allen is 30, in his ninth season, and was drafted seventh overall by Buffalo in 2018. Williams is 24, in his third season, and was selected first overall by Chicago in 2024. Purdy is 26, in his fifth season, and was selected 262nd overall by San Francisco in 2022.
