Drake Maye Named Top Contender for MVP Award
NFL quarterback Drake Maye is emerging as the top contender for the coveted MVP award in 2025. Currently, he holds the best odds at +275. This is particularly noteworthy, as traditionally dominant quarterbacks such as Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Aaron Rodgers are absent from the lead position.
Maye and Stafford’s Impressive Performances
Following impressive Week 10 games, Maye’s nearest competitor is Matthew Stafford of the Rams, who is just behind at +300. Both quarterbacks secured crucial road victories, with New England defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 28-23 and the Rams overcoming the San Francisco 49ers 42-26. Stafford achieved a remarkable milestone, being the first quarterback to record three consecutive games with four or more touchdown passes and zero interceptions.
MVP Odds Overview
As of now, the MVP odds are as follows:
- Drake Maye (Patriots): +275
- Matthew Stafford (Rams): +300
- Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs): 5-1
- Jonathan Taylor (Colts): 6-1
- Josh Allen (Bills): 7-1
- Sam Darnold (Seahawks): 10-1
- Lamar Jackson: 25-1
- Aaron Rodgers: 150-1
New England Patriots’ Path Forward
The New England Patriots currently stand at 8-2 and are poised for a favorable schedule ahead. They face the Jets, Bengals, and Giants before their scheduled bye. Should they continue their winning streak, they could reach an impressive 11-2 record.
End of Season Prospects
As the season progresses, the Patriots will face critical matchups against the Buffalo Bills and the revitalized Ravens, along with final games against the Jets and Dolphins. With the No. 1 playoff seed within reach, the MVP award seems increasingly attainable for Maye.
Meanwhile, Stafford has a chance to clinch the top seed in the NFC, which could elevate his MVP prospects as well. This year’s MVP race is shaping up to be competitive, and the stakes could influence both quarterbacks’ chances as the season unfolds.
