Packers QB Jordan Love Has Fourth-Best Odds to win 2024 NFL MVP
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Brett Favre won three NFL MVPs. Aaron Rodgers won four.
Can Jordan Love win one, too?
The Green Bay Packers’ promising starting quarterback has the fourth-shortest odds to win NFL MVP at Bet Online.
The usual suspects hold the top three spots. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, a two-time MVP who won Super Bowl MVP on Sunday, is the early favorite at +650. Two more AFC quarterbacks, the Cincinnati Bengals’ Joe Burrow and the Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen, are next at +900.
Love is next at +1000 following a brilliant second half of the season. From the Game 10 victory over the Chargers that changed the course of the season through the wild-card victory at the Cowboys, Love threw 21 touchdown passes vs. one interception. Over those nine games, he had eight games with a 100-plus rating, eight with 7.3-plus yards per attempt and zero with a completion rate of less than 60 percent.
He’s followed by the likes of 2023 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year C.J. Stroud of the Houston Texans (+1100), 2023 NFL MVP Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens (+1400), the Dallas Cowboys’ Dak Prescott (+1800) and the New York Jets’ Aaron Rodgers (+2500).
The last six MVPs have been split among Mahomes, Jackson and Rodgers with two apiece.
Love’s NFC North counterparts, the Lions’ Jared Goff, the Vikings’ Kirk Cousins and the Bears’ Justin Fields, are +5000.
Here are the odds of the front-runners at Bet Online.

“You’ve got to give Jordan a lot of credit,” general manager Brian Gutekunst said at the end of the season. “What he’s withstood, as you guys know, it’s not easy what he went through the last three years. To watch him focus on his work, get better each and every year.
“He was thrown some curveballs with not being able to get out there and play in preseason games [due to COVID in 2020] and different things that, no fault of his own, and take advantage of the opportunities that he had to get better each and every time, and then to see some of the rewards that he was able to get to the second half of the season and really play up to some of his potential. He’s got so much more in front of him. As good as he played at times this year, there’s a very, very high upside which is exciting for him.”
