📊 NFL Super Bowl MVP Trends & Statistics

The most obvious trend is that the Super Bowl MVP almost always comes from the winning team. In fact, the last 10 Super Bowl MVPs have followed this trend. Secondly, the Super Bowl MVP is almost always a quarterback or wide receiver. Looking at the table above, this trend had been active for NINE consecutive Super Bowls until Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker broke the trend in Super Bowl LX. The Seattle running back tallied 135 rushing yards on 27 carries and was a major reason why they hoisted the Lombardi Trophy against the New England Patriots.

Knowing these trends will help you make your NFL Super Bowl MVP predictions when the time comes, and you can always check out our experts’ NFL picks as we lead up to the Big Game.

NFL Super Bowl MVP Predictions

*These predictions were written at the conclusion of Super Bowl LX*

Looking at the trends above, some immediate candidates come to mind for who could win this award. At the top of this list has to be Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen.

Although Allen has never even been to a Super Bowl, the Bills have the shortest odds to win the AFC and the third-shortest odds to win Super Bowl LXI. If Buffalo can make a Super Bowl appearance, Allen will likely be the odds-on favorite to win the Super Bowl MVP. He tends to perform well in the biggest games, so looking at Allen when the NFL Super Bowl MVP odds become available will be a great play.

🤔 How Do Sportsbooks Calculate NFL Super Bowl MVP Betting Odds?

Sportsbooks calculate their NFL Super Bowl MVP odds using a variety of factors. One of the main ways these are calculated is based on regular-season performance. The players who have the best regular seasons are likely on the better teams in the league and therefore in the playoffs, and this can help with determining their NFL Super Bowl MVP odds. 

📖 How to Read NFL Super Bowl MVP Betting Odds

Reading the NFL Super Bowl MVP odds or just odds in general sounds difficult, but it really is quite straightforward. Below we will include a couple examples to explain:

  • +500

Say the odds for your NFL Super Bowl MVP bets were +500. This means that if you made a $100 bet, your potential profit would be $500. Similarly, if you bet $10 your potential profit would be $50. If the odds have a plus symbol, then the number that follows is always what you would win from a $100 bet.

  • -150

For this example, the odds would be -150. This means that you must bet $150 in order to win $100. If you bet $300 then you would win $200. If the odds have a minus symbol then the number that follows is what you would need to stake in order to win $100.

An easy way to look at it is that if there is a minus () sign, you will always be betting more to win less, while a plus (+) sign means you can bet less to win more.

📱 How to Calculate NFL Super Bowl MVP Betting Odds

The easiest way to calculate betting odds is to plug the odds of the bet you are making into an odds calculator. This will give you the American odds, decimal odds, fractional odds and implied probability, as well as your potential winnings. Alternatively, you can use the below formulas to calculate the implied probability for American odds without using a betting calculator:

Favorites:

  • Odds/(Odds + 100) x 100

Underdogs:

  • 100/(Odds +100) x 100
