It’s time to talk about the Super Bowl LVIII MVP. With the greatest show on earth set to go down at Allegiant Stadium this Sunday, MVP discussions are getting louder by the hour.
At this stage, all we know is that a player from the San Francisco 49ers or Kansas City Chiefs will win the award, but which team’s star player will stand out the most? Let’s dive into our Super Bowl LVIII MVP predictions.
Top Contenders to Win Super Bowl LVIII MVP
The Super Bowl MVP award has been dominated by quarterbacks over the years, meaning Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes and San Francisco’s Brock Purdy are the bookies’ favorites. However, several other players stand a realistic chance this year.
Below, we take a closer look at the top Super Bowl LVIII MVP contenders, along with a couple of potential sleepers.
Patrick Mahomes (+125)
By his own high standards, Mahomes experienced a quiet regular season. Still, every football fan knows what the 28-year-old is capable of. Mahomes already has two Super Bowl MVP awards to his name, having triumphed in 2020 and 2023. Now, he has the chance to become only the third player in history to win the award three times.
Brock Purdy (+225)
It could be argued that Purdy has outperformed Mahomes for large portions of the campaign. The San Francisco QB finished the regular season with a superior completion percentage and more passing yards than his counterpart. The big question is – can Purdy outshine Mahomes on the biggest stage of all?
Christian McCaffrey (+475)
Christian McCaffrey is the only other place priced below +1200 to win the Super Bowl LVIII MVP award. The 49ers running back has racked up more rushing yards than anyone else this season, averaging 91.5 per game. If he plays to the best of his ability on Sunday, he could beat Mahomes and Purdy to the Pete Rozelle Trophy.
Travis Kelce (+1200)
Although Travis Kelce is the bookies’ fourth favorite to win the award, odds of +1200 make him a Super Bowl LVIII MVP sleeper. The Chiefs’ tight end has registered more receptions than any other player during the postseason, meaning he has the potential to upset the MVP odds this weekend.
Brandon Aiyuk (+6000)
During the regular season, only six players chalked up more receiving yards than Brandon Aiyuk. The San Francisco wide receiver has produced consistent displays throughout the campaign, so he certainly stands an outside chance of snatching the MVP award from one of the favorites.
Super Bowl LVIII MVP Picks
Best Bet: Patrick Mahomes (+125)
Our advice to you is simple – don’t overthink it. Few would argue that Mahomes is not the best quarterback in the league. Having won two of the previous four Super Bowl MVP awards, the Kansas City superstar is primed to make history on Sunday.
