Super Bowl FUTURES Notes
Despite having superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, only West Virginia and Washington D.C. have seen more tickets on the Chiefs (). But in West Virginia, the Browns () have generated the most handle, and the Washington Football Team has generated the most handle in our nation’s capital.
Tennessee residents have oddly placed the most bets on the 49ers () to win the Super Bowl. Perhaps the state should be re-nicknamed Niner Nation East.

Most Bet NFL MVP FUTURES at BetMGM By State
Many of the usual suspects top the race for 2021 NFL MVP at BetMGM, with Patrick Mahomes () atop the odds board, followed by reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers and young gunslinger Josh Allen (). Allen has drawn the most tickets across America, but Mahomes has drawn the most handle.
However, there sure is some variety within legal sports betting states.
| State | Most Bet MVP By Ticket Count | Most Bet MVP By Handle |
|---|---|---|
| All States | Josh Allen | Patrick Mahomes |
| Colorado | Josh Allen | Patrick Mahomes |
| Indiana | Josh Allen | Trey Lance |
| Michigan | Matthew Stafford | Matthew Stafford |
| New Jersey | Josh Allen | Aaron Donald |
| Pennsylvania | Josh Allen | Josh Allen |
| Tennessee | Derrick Henry | Patrick Mahomes |
| West Virginia | Patrick Mahomes | Patrick Mahomes |
NFL MVP FUTURES Notes
In a strange trend, Indiana has seen the most handle on 49ers rookie QB Trey Lance, who is still mired in a competition with incumbent Jimmy Garoppolo.
New Jersey has seen the most handle on three-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald (), although Lawrence Taylor was the last defensive player to win MVP back in 1986. This is possibly skewed by a bet BetMGM has reported on Donald to win MVP that would pay out $100,000 at +20000 odds.
Finally, in a vote of low confidence in their hometown franchise, Michigan residents have placed the most tickets and handle on Matthew Stafford to win MVP (). A former No. 1 overall pick, Stafford was traded to the Rams for fellow former No. 1 pick Jared Goff (), and Michigan residents seem to believe that the talented veteran will thrive under coaching wunderkind Sean McVay.
