Joe Burrow might not have the best odds to win next season’s NFL MVP, but he’s still making waves with bettors at one sportsbook.
According to BetMGM, the Bengals quarterback currently has the highest ticket (14.6%) and the highest handle (27%) to take home the league’s highest honor in 2025, thus making him the biggest liability in this spot.
After completing the 2024 season with 4,918 yards, 43 touchdowns and nine interceptions, Burrow finished fourth in MVP voting.
Let’s check out some of the odds at BetMGM as of May 29.
Joe Burrow Offensive Player of the Year: +5000 (bet $10 to win $510 total) Over/Under Passing Yards: 4150.5 Over/Under Passing TDs: 33.5
Bengals AFC No. 1 seed: +950 (bet $10 to win $105 total) AFC North winner: +200 (bet $10 to win $30 total) Super Bowl winner: +2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total)

Could Burrow finally take home the prestigious award for the first time next season?
FOX Sports NFL writer Henry McKenna is certainly high on him.
“His 2024 season was a fascinating demonstration of man vs. team,” McKenna wrote. “The Bengals nearly dragged Burrow into irrelevance, and Burrow nearly dragged them back to relevance. Cincinnati finished 9-8, just out of the playoff picture.

“And Burrow deserved serious consideration for MVP. He was that good.”
On “The Facility,” co-host Emmanuel Acho explained that, when it comes to NFL QBs, Joe Burrow has “it.”
“‘It’ to me is, if a play needs to be made, Joe Burrow will make the play,” Acho said. “If a game needs to be won — more often than not — I trust Joe Burrow to win it.”
Speaking of trust, based on recent comments, Burrow also has full confidence in himself.
“I’ve had injuries that kind of change the offseason mindset a little bit,” Burrow admitted. “This year I don’t have any of those, and that’s great, because I can focus on getting better all around and becoming a more well-rounded player.”

The 6-foot-6, 200-pound Gilgeous-Alexander is a surgical superstar, knifing his way to his spots, drawing contact along the way.

Before rain and runs and raucous boos drove fans out of Citizens Bank Park on Saturday, Jesús Luzardo took the mound around 4 p.m. The Phillies lefty threw to catcher J.T. Realmuto as Mobb Deep’s “Survival of the Fittest” played, the crowd filing in and wind whipping around them. Luzardo felt good. No, not just good: “My arm felt like a whip,” he said. It was the best he’d felt in a month and a half. AdvertisementThen came a second-pitch single by Jackson Chourio, who soon stole second. A walk. A Christian Yelich line drive to left-field to score Chourio. A three-run homer that turned Philadelphia’s beloved Rhys Hoskins into a booed enemy as he rounded the bases. Just like that, it was 4-0 Brewers with no outs in the first. “I felt as athletic as I have all year,” Luzardo said. “I […]

Things got fiery between the Minnesota Twins and Seattle Mariners on Saturday. After a controversial strike turned into a heated argument with the umpire, Twins shortstop Carlos Correa and manager Rocco Baldelli were both ejected in the seventh inning.The Mariners went on to win the game 5-4 in extra innings, with second baseman Cole Young getting the winning 11th-inning RBI in his major league debut.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementFollowing a borderline pitch on third baseman Brooks Lee was called a strike, Correa stepped out of the on-deck circle, seemingly expressing his opinion to Austin Jones, the home plate umpire.

Jones quickly ejected him as well.Twins first baseman Ty France, a former Mariner getting […]
