How is the Super Bowl MVP decided?
The Super Bowl MVP is decided after the conclusion of the game by a panel of 16 NFL journalists (writers and broadcasters) as well as a fan vote (online and mobile), which was added in 2001.
The panel makes up 80% of the voting, while the fan vote makes up the remaining 20%. The player voted as having the most significant impact on their team’s success will be honored as the Most Valuable Player of the Super Bowl.
How to read Super Bowl MVP odds
When learning how to bet on the Super Bowl, bettors must first understand how the odds display and how to read them. The Super Bowl MVP odds are displayed in a list format with corresponding odds for each player considered an MVP candidate. The odds will reflect the implied probability of that player winning MVP.
Some sportsbooks will have a very long and detailed list with plenty of players available. Other books will list just the skill positions and key defensive contributors while adding a “field” or “other” option which includes any player not officially listed.
Most sportsbooks in North America will list Super Bowl MVP odds in American format:
- Patrick Mahomes -120
- Jalen Hurts +187
This means that a $100 bet on Mahomes would have profited $83 (or a $120 bet would win $100), or a $100 bet on Hurts would have profited $187. Use our odds converter to switch American odds to decimal or fractional and to see how much you could win using different odds.
Super Bowl MVP betting history
A Super Bowl MVP has been named in all 58 championship games going back to 1967 when Green Bay Packers quarterback Bart Starr was named the very first Super Bowl Most Valuable Player.
Starr is one of the 32 quarterbacks to be named Super Bowl MVP. Running backs and wide receivers have each won MVP eight times while a defensive player has been named MVP five times and a special teams player (kick returner) has won the award once.
Betting on the Super Bowl MVP odds was made popular in the late 1990s, as online sports betting began to boom, but has only recently been allowed in regulated land-based sportsbooks (such as Las Vegas/Nevada) since 2016.
