Super Bowl prop bet history (How to bet on Super Bowl 57 MVP)

The Super Bowl winners will always be remembered, but the Super Bowl MVP also has a chance to etch their name in the history books.

Some little known players (Malcolm Smith fan club anyone?) have a chance to become immortal by winning the award, but the betting market certainly leans to the stars, specifically the quarterbacks, on each team.

Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles take on Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, and both players are not only favorites to win the Super Bowl MVP, but the league MVP award this season as well.

Last season, Los Angeles Rams receiver Cooper Kupp won the Super Bowl MVP award, becoming the second receiver in the past five seasons to win SB MVP.

Do we see a pass catcher win again this season? Or will Mahomes or Hurts run away with the award? Here are the latest odds and the history for this market:

Super Bowl MVP historical trends

Offensive players dominate the Super Bowl MVP, as just nine defensive players have won the award with the most recent being Von Miller for the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50.

Generally, the Super Bowl MVP is a quarterback’s award, with 31 of the 56 Super Bowl MVPs playing the position.

Given how important Mahomes and Hurts are to their respective team’s success this season, it wouldn’t be a shock to see them come away with the MVP.

Mahomes, who won Super Bowl MVP in Super Bowl LIV, is playing in his third Super Bowl in four seasons. The Eagles had a quarterback win Super Bowl MVP not too long ago when Nick Foles upset the New England Patriots.

While Philly has a great running game this season, that may not be the way to lean for a longshot bet, as the last running back to win the award was Terrell Davis back in 1998.

If you’re looking for a longshot, a defensive player like Chiefs pass rusher Chris Jones or Eagles pass rusher Hassan Reddick could be a sneaky pick, especially since we’ve seen players like Miller completely turn games around with a strip sack or two.

Ultimately, this award is likely going to go to Mahomes or Hurts, but don’t be afraid to sprinkle on a few candidates in case the game takes an unexpected turn.
