We’re going to split up our analysis here into two parts: one for those that think the Seahawks will win, and one for those that think the Patriots will win. Only once has a player won the Super Bowl MVP despite his team losing the game. That was Cowboys linebacker Chuck Howley way back in 1971. S
We can safely say that whoever wins the award this year will have been part of the winning team. ANd we’re not analyzing who will win Super Bowl 60 here. With that in mind, we’ve identified one best bet for each team as well as one more fun long shot bet for each as well.
Best Bets If You Think The Seahawks Win
If the Seahawks win, the easy bet is obviously on their quarterback, Sam Darnold. He was excellent in the NFC Championship, and if he has another game like that, he’s a shoo-in. However, there have been many instances this year where Seattle’s running game and defense take over and Darnold wins without having to put up numbers. New England has a good run defense, but at +115, there’s not much value here. A bet on the QB of the favored team is by far the safest wager, however.
There are a lot of other interesting names on this board for Seattle. More than a few Seahawks defenders made it into the top 15. However, we feel that they will cancel each other out. There are so many major contributors, it will be tough for one to stick out.
Meanwhile, Jaxon Smith-Njigba has continued to be the dominant force on Seattle’s offense. His numbers definitely stick out. The only times a QB hasn’t won this award over the last nine years was when a wideout won. Cooper Kupp had eight receptions for 92 yards and two scores in 2021 and Julian Edelman had 10 for 141 in 2018. Both of their QBs threw INTs in those games, and we think Darnold has one of those in him on this big stage.
Best Bets
- Sam Darnold (+115)
- Jaxon Smith-Njigba (+550)
Best Bets If You Think The Patriots Win
Much like with the Seahawks, if you think the Patriots are going to win, the safest bet is going to be on their QB, Drake Maye. He has much better odds than Darnold at +230 on most top Super Bowl sportsbooks. However, Maye, a second-year player, has really shown his youth during this playoff run. If they had awarded MVPs for any of New England’s first three postseason games, Maye would not have won one. He’s also been dealing with an illness, so if you’re looking for value, there are better long-shot options.
The ones we’d consider are Rhamondre Stevenson at +3,000 and Stefon Diggs at +4,500. First of all, those odds make even a small half-unit dart throw worth it. A running back hasn’t won this award since 1998. But if the Patriots win, it will mean the running game has found some room. And Stevenson contributes in the passing game and has a great nose for the end zone too. Touchdowns generally help non-QBs win this award.
Diggs, meanwhile, is the best of a big bunch of Patriots wideouts. Much like with the Seahawks defenders, there are so many to choose from it’s hard to identify the right one. But we think with his experience in big games and the fact that Maye will want to find a reliable receiver, Diggs could be a good darkhorse. At +4,500, what do you have to lose?
Best Bets
- Drake Maye (+230)
- Rhamondre Stevenson (+3,000)
- Stefon Diggs (+4,500)
