It might sound crazy, but we’re officially halfway through the 2022 NFL season. It’s been a roller coaster of a first half of the year with a ton of surprises, and it’s time to look ahead at the futures market. I’ve broken down several futures markets such as MVP, Rookie of the Year, Coach of the Year, and more, so let’s get right into it.
2022 NFL Week 10 MVP Odds Update
Entering the season, Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers had two of the shortest odds to win the MVP award. But following the conclusion of Week 9, neither quarterback is in the top 10. It's been a year of surprises, to say the least, as quarterbacks like Jalen Hurts and Geno Smith have had a career-best start to the season, and it's no surprise to see their names at the top of the list. There's been a lot of movement in this market in recent weeks, so let's dive into all the contenders for the 2022 MVP honor.
2022 NFL MVP Race – Leading Contenders
When your team is undefeated heading into Week 10, you're doing something right. Jalen Hurts has led the Eagles to an 8-0 start to the season, which has catapulted his MVP odds from +4000 before Week 1 to +275 before Week 10. The former Alabama standout has thrown for over 2,000 yards, has a 12:2 touchdown to interception ratio, and has rushed for 6 touchdowns. He's been one of the biggest surprises this season, and he deserves the recognition he is getting for the MVP award.
As usual, Patrick Mahomes is a contender for the MVP. He won the honor in 2018 after his incredible season, and even with no Tyreek Hill this year, Mahomes has been outstanding. Hill was a favorite of Mahomes since the Cheetah is arguably the fastest player in the league, but now that he's gone, it's almost made Mahomes more dangerous since he's utilizing every receiver. Following the Chiefs’ Week 9 victory on Sunday Night Football, Mahomes ranks 2nd in the league in QBR, so he poses a legitimate shot to win his second MVP away in five years.'
