PERUSING THE PLAYERS
Patrick Mahomes opened atop the board at +650 to be awarded NFL MVP for the third time in his career. He’s stayed put at that price the entire time, though Joe Burrow (opened +700) just joined him as a +650 co-favorite this past weekend. The Chiefs gunslinger has collected 7.9% of the tickets (4th) and 8.1% of the handle (5th) in this market.
For Offensive Player of the Year, one other Chief is tied with Mahomes (+2400) for the most bets on the team. Nope, it’s not Travis Kelce (+3000). It’s actually tailback Isiah Pacheco, who sits all the way up at +10000 for OPOY.
