NFL MVP Odds: Jalen Hurts solidifies himself as a top-3 candidate as Eagles continue to soar

The Philadelphia Eagles are officially 5-0. Jalen Hurts pushed the Eagles past the Cardinals with an arsenal of QB sneaks on 3rd and 1, a pair of rushing touchdowns, and 301 total scrimmage yards. How did his performance shift the NFL MVP odds markets?

Jalen Hurts is now second in the MVP race

Josh Allen (Last week: 1st)	+200
Patrick Mahomes (Last week: 2nd)	+500
Lamar Jackson (Last week: 3rd)	+600
Jalen Hurts (Last week: 4th)	+600
Justin Herbert (Last week 5th)	+1400
Joe Burrow (Last week outside 6th)	+3000

NFL MVP Odds: Jalen Hurts to win MVP +600

Previously: +2,000, +2500, +3000, +1400, +800, +600, +550

This is the first week all season in which it feels like the odds have settled. It’s the first week since the opener in which the top 6 positions haven’t moved an inch. Josh Allen’s odds came down a tad, and Mahomes edged ahead of the dual-threat duo of Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts. But we have four players now under 10/1 odds to win, narrowing the field down and making it increasingly difficult for a player like Burrow or Herbert to make a run at the award.

Jalen Hurts does still have the advantage of an easy schedule. His next 4 weeks (bye excluded) include the Cowboys, Steelers, Texans, and Commanders. This is a quartet of very winnable games and there’s every chance we see those odds descend further.

A $50 bet now would still net you a $250 return, but a few short weeks ago, it would’ve been over $1700! The scary part is, the odds probably aren’t going to be moving in the opposite direction anytime soon.

However, that doesn’t mean it’s too late to bet on Jalen Hurts to win the MVP Award.
