Joe Burrow might not have the best odds to win NFL MVP in 2025, but he’s still making waves with bettors at one sportsbook.
According to BetMGM, the Bengals quarterback currently has the highest ticket (14.2%) and the highest handle (23%) to take home the league’s highest honor in 2025.
He’s also the biggest liability in this spot.
And once again, he’s not even the favorite.
Right now, it’s Lamar Jackson with the shortest odds at +550. However, Burrow has moved up the board to +600 from +700 since June.
Josh Allen also sits at +600, while Patrick Mahomes is at +700.
After completing the 2024 season with 4,918 yards, 43 touchdowns and nine interceptions, Burrow finished fourth in MVP voting.
Let’s check out some of Joe Burrow’s other odds at BetMGM as of Aug. 14.

Could Burrow finally take home the prestigious award for the first time at the end of the year?
FOX Sports NFL writer Henry McKenna is certainly high on him.
“His 2024 season was a fascinating demonstration of man vs. team,” McKenna wrote. “The Bengals nearly dragged Burrow into irrelevance, and Burrow nearly dragged them back to relevance. Cincinnati finished 9-8, just out of the playoff picture.
“And Burrow deserved serious consideration for MVP. He was that good.”
Coaches and executives around the league also agree that Burrow is that good. They recently voted unanimously to include him in their Tier 1 NFL quarterbacks list.
“When the whole stadium knows you have to pass,” Coach Eric Mangini explained on “First Things First,” “who is that guy that can go in there and be the most effective in that moment?
“From a pure passing perspective, [after Mahomes] Joe Burrow is the guy.”
