Josh Allen New MVP Favorite 2024-2025
We’re three weeks into the 2024 NFL season and we already have some major changes at the top of the awards categories.
Josh Allen has supplanted Patrick Mahomes as the MVP favorite, looking absolutely untouchable while leading the Bills to a 3-0 record.
Perhaps a bigger surprise…Jayden Daniels is now the favorite for Offensive Rookie of the Year. The kid from LSU has been accurate and poised through three games, much like some kid from Ohio State looked last year on his way to OROY honors (CJ Stroud).
Coach of the Year also has a fresh face on top with Kevin O’Connell pulling gophers out of hats in Minnesota amid the Vikes’ 3-0 run.
We will be updating the NFL Awards odds every week courtesy of BetOnline.ag.
