Jalen Hurts was the winner of the 2025 Super Bowl MVP award. Before the game started, his odds were listed at +350. Hurts had a commanding performance, throwing for 221 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception.
We now know the Philadelphia Eagles are playing the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59, and the SB MVP market is live. Current Super Bowl MVP odds have Patrick Mahomes (Patrick Mahomes +10000 on FanDuel) as the favorite over Saquon Barkley (Saquon Barkley +41000 on FanDuel) and Jalen Hurts (Jalen Hurts +350 on DraftKings). Travis Kelce (Travis Kelce +42000 on FanDuel) is near the top of SB Most Valuable Player odds boards, as well. Mahomes and Hurts being among the favorites comes as no surprise, considering quarterbacks, more often than not, get the nod.
Below is all the betting information you need when it comes to wagering on Super Bowl MVP.

Super Bowl MVP favorites
Here, we will look at the Super Bowl MVP favorites to win the award. The top sports betting sites are currently accepting bets for all of the players listed below, along with several others. Go here for current Super Bowl odds.
Patrick Mahomes (Patrick Mahomes +10000 on FanDuel)
Mahomes has once again opened as the early favorite on the Super Bowl MVP odds board. Mahomes is going for a third straight SB MVP honor, and fourth overall. When the Chiefs faced the Eagles in SB 57, Mahomes completed 21 of 27 passes for 182 yards and three touchdowns.
Saquon Barkley (Saquon Barkley +41000 on FanDuel)
The Eagles might not have been among the Super Bowl favorites without Barkley. He finished the regular season with over 2,000 rushing yards and 13 TDs. He averaged over 125 yards per game. It has been the same story during the NFL Playoffs, as Barkley is leading all running backs with 442 rush yards and all players in scoring with 30 points. Should Barkley win SB MVP, he will become the first RB since Terrell Davis (1998) to raise the trophy.
Jalen Hurts (Jalen Hurts +375 on BetMGM)
Hurts is a dual-threat quarterback capable of hurting teams in multiple ways. While his Super Bowl body of work is not in the same league as Mahomes, leading the Eagles to a 14-3 regular season record is hard to ignore. Hurts just showed he has what it takes to lead Philadelphia back to the SB for the second time in three seasons. All he did in Super Bowl 57 was finish the game with 374 combined yards and four TDs.
Travis Kelce (Travis Kelce +42000 on FanDuel)
Kelce is much further down the Super Bowl MVP odds board, and nobody is going to question how valuable he is to the Chiefs offense. This includes Super Bowl 58 when the tight end caught nine passes for 93 yards. Unlike RB and WR, tight ends have never won this trophy.
Xavier Worthy (Xavier Worthy +75000 on FanDuel)
Worthy might only be a rookie, but he is putting up solid numbers this season with 59 receptions, with 638 yards, and 6 TDs. Fellow WR Cooper Kupp took home the honor during Super Bowl 56.
A.J. Brown (A.J. Brown +50000 on FanDuel)
Brown is one of Hurts’ favorite targets, and he was part of Philadelphia’s Super Bowl 58 roster. He finished that game with 6 catches for 96 yards and a touchdown.
Chris Jones (A.J. Brown +50000 on FanDuel)
Jones is no stranger to Super Bowl appearances, and has the shortest odds among defensive players on the Super Bowl MVP odds board. He finished the regular season with five sacks.
Kareem Hunt Kareem Hunt +75000 on FanDuel
Hunt rejoined the Chiefs earlier this season, and has turned out to once again be a valuable addition to the offense. The running back scored a touchdown in both of KC’s playoff wins.
DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith +18000 on FanDuel
While Barkley is the focal point of the Eagles offense, Smith has shown multiple times this season that’s capable of putting up big numbers, the biggest being 120 yards and two touchdowns against the Cowboys. However, his odds of taking home Super Bowl MVP remain extremely long.
Jalen Carter Jalen Carter +75000 on FanDuel
The chances of a defensive player taking home SB MVP honors are extremely low, but Carter continues to be an absolute force along the Eagles D-line.

Super Bowl MVP history
Quarterbacks dominate the list of Super Bowl Most Valuable Player favorites per usual; although, two LBs (Malcolm Smith and Von Miller) and two WRs (Julian Edelman and Cooper Kupp) have accounted for four of the award recipients over the past 11 Super Bowls.
Tom Brady won three Super Bowl MVPs in that span and Patrick Mahomes became the youngest quarterback to win SB MVP following the 2020 game. Mahomes was +120 to win Super Bowl MVP just prior to kickoff of last year’s Big Game.
The Super Bowl MVP debuted in the first SB, which featured the Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs in January of 1967. The Packers cruised to a 35-10 victory and QB Bart Starr won the MVP with 250 yards, two TDs and a pick. The next year, Green Bay won another SB title with Starr again winning MVP thanks to a modest line of 202 yards and a TD.
That would set the precedent for the award, which as gone to QBs 33 out of 58 Super Bowls. The MVP has gone to seven running backs and seven wide receivers, and a defensive player has won 10 times.
Yet unlike the NFL regular season MVP award — which has gone to QBs 32 times and RBs 20 times, with one defensive player (Harlon Hill, 1955) and one WR (Jerry Rice, 1987) winning the award — sometimes the Super Bowl MVP can come out of nowhere.
In the past 20 years, Tampa Bay safety Dexter Jackson and Seattle linebacker Malcolm Smith stand out as the most unlikely SB MVPs, while LBs Von Miller and Ray Lewis have also won on the strength of great defensive performances. Green Bay’s Desmond Howard became the only kick returner to win SB MVP in 1997 after totaling 244 return yards and a TD.
Return TDs have become increasingly rare in today’s NFL and defensive battles are also few and far between due to rule changes. Even in a 13-3 slugfest in Super Bowl 53, WR Julian Edelman was named MVP with 10 receptions for 141 yards. Quarterbacks had won seven of the previous nine awards.
In Super Bowl V, Cowboys LB Chuck Howley was named MVP despite Dallas losing, 16-13, to the Colts. This marks the only time a player from the losing team has been named MVP, although Tom Brady came relatively close in 2018 when he threw for 505 yards and 3 TDs in a 41-33 loss to the Eagles.
Brady holds the record with five total Super Bowl MVPs, followed by Joe Montana (3), Patrick Mahomes (3), Terry Bradshaw (2), Eli Manning (2), and Bart Starr (2). The Cowboys have produced the most SB MVPs with 7, followed by the Steelers (6) and Patriots (6).
