NFL MVP 2025 Odds: Josh Allen Leads, Drake Maye Rising
As we head into Week 10 of the season, the NFL MVP 2025 race is wide open. And it’s stacked with both familiar names and shocking surprises. With playoff pushes intensifying, the race for the league’s top individual honor is officially heating up.
Let’s break down the leading contenders and their odds heading into Week 10.
Josh Allen (+175) Leads the Way
After taking home the 2024 MVP award, Josh Allen is back on top of the leaderboard and looking to become the first back-to-back winner since Aaron Rodgers in 2020–2021.
Allen has powered the Bills to a 6–2 record, throwing for 1,833 yards, 13 touchdowns, and just 4 interceptions through eight games. His combination of arm strength and consistency has kept the Buffalo Bills firmly in playoff contention.
If he keeps winning, this might be Allen’s MVP to lose.
Drake Maye (+400) Surprises the League
Second-year Patriots quarterback Drake Maye entered the season surrounded by doubters. With a rebuilt offense led by Stefon Diggs, few expected Maye to make the leap so soon, but he’s done exactly that.
Maye has led the Patriots to a 7–2 record and the AFC’s top seed, while throwing for 2,285 yards, 17 touchdowns, and only 4 interceptions.
If New England holds onto that #1 seed, Maye has a good chance of stealing the crown right from Allen’s nose, shocking the league.
Patrick Mahomes (+425) Eyes His Third MVP
One thing is certain: you can never count out Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs’ superstar already has two MVPs (2018, 2022) and remains the NFL’s most feared quarterback.
So far, Mahomes has posted 2,349 yards, 17 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions, but, much to his dismay, the team’s 5–4 record has slowed his momentum.
Kansas City Chiefs hit their Week 10 bye, giving Mahomes and the rest of the squad time to reset and maybe launch a second-half surge that puts him right back in the driver’s seat.
Stafford (+600), Mayfield (+1600), and Darnold (+2000): The Unexpected Trio
If you predicted Matthew Stafford, Baker Mayfield, and Sam Darnold would all rank in the top 6 of NFL MVP odds after nine weeks, you’d be lying.
Yet here we are. All three QBs have their teams sitting at 6–2 with legitimate playoff chances. Stafford’s veteran precision, Mayfield’s resurgence, and Darnold’s surprising poise have kept their teams in the NFC race, and one of them could easily become the season’s ultimate dark horse MVP.
