We have not only reached but now also passed the halfway point of the 2022 NFL regular season. There is still a long way to go, of course, but it's never too early to start thinking about player awards. The race is on for MVP, Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, Coach of the Year and more.
With Week 11 on the horizon, it's time to take a look at some of the especially intriguing races.
2022 NFL MVP odds
With Monday Night Football still pending in Week 10, Patrick Mahomes is a +150 MVP favorite ahead of Jalen Hurts (+400). Mahomes was a +275 second choice prior to this past weekend, but another brilliant performance in a 27-17 victory over Jacksonville has propelled him to the top spot. The Chiefs' star signal-caller tossed 4 touchdown passes and in the last 4 games his passing totals are 338, 423, 446 and 331 yards. Mahomes – and all other contenders – were also helped by the fact that Josh Allen struggled in the Bills' unbelievable loss to the Vikings. Allen was +300 going into Week 10 and is now +600. He fell from third on the list to fourth, surpassed by Tua Tagovailoa – who is now +400. Meanwhile, Tagovailoa has thrown 3 touchdowns and 0 interceptions in 3 consecutive contests. Hurts has a chance to answer when his Eagles host the Commanders on Monday night.
