It still feels weird to type this sentence, but Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has not only made it to the Super Bowl, but is now the sportsbook favorite to win the Super Bowl MVP.
Darnold is +130 at BetMGM to win the Super Bowl LX MVP as the Seahawks beat Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams 31-27 in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday night in Seattle. Darnold was outstanding in this game, completing 25 of 36 passes for 345 yards and three touchdowns without a single turnover.

His quarterback, Drake Maye, has the second-best odds to win the award (+240), followed by the Seahawks’ two skill position players.
Wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who had 153 yards and a touchdown on 10 catches in the NFC Championship Game, is +500, followed closely by Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (+650).
No other player has single-digit odds, and the next player’s odds have dropped significantly: Seattle wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed, at 25-1.
The market opens ahead of the playoffs at Sportsbook, and Stafford and Darnold are both +600 co-favorites.
Entering championship weekend, Meyer (10.4%) has the second-highest bet amount in the market, and Smith-Njiba (26.3%) has the highest bet total on winning Super Bowl LX MVP. Smith-Ngiba represents the worst outcome for the award at sportsbooks right now.
The Seahawks are currently 4.5-point favorites in Super Bowl LX at BetMGM.
