Lamar Jackson’s dominating performance for the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night, when he threw for five touchdown passes against the Los Angeles Rams, has moved the quarterback into heavy-favorite territory to win the NFL Most Valuable Player award.
According to DraftKings, Jackson is now listed at -230 to win the NFL’s top individual prize just over one week after he first became the betting favorite. After a Week 11 victory over the Houston Texans, when he threw four touchdown passes, Jackson was listed at +170.
Jackson was listed at 10,000-to-1 odds for the MVP award when the Ravens reported to training camp this summer.
“I’m trying to win a Super Bowl and we’re trying to take it a game at a time,” Jackson told reporters Monday night when asked about the MVP award. “I’m not worried about MVP. If it comes it comes and I’ll be satisfied. But I’m trying to win a Super Bowl. That’s a team award. That’s what I want.”

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is now listed at +300; he was +200 following Week 11. Based on the current odds, Wilson is the only player remotely close to being in Jackson’s ballpark.
There is a large gap to the other MVP contenders, in a list that includes Deshaun Watson (+1600), Patrick Mahomes (+2000), Dak Prescott (+2200) and Aaron Rodgers (+3300).
The Monday night victory also shortened the Ravens’ odds of winning the Super Bowl from +400 to +350. The New England Patriots, who lost 37-20 to the Ravens in Week 9, remain the Super Bowl favorite at +280.
At PointsBet, Jackson moved below an even-money favorite for MVP and is now listed at -167, followed by Wilson (+260), Watson (+1400), Prescott (+2000) and Mahomes (+2200). The Ravens are also listed as the second favorite to win the Super Bowl at +350, behind the Patriots (+275).
At FanDuel, Jackson is now listed at -200 to win MVP with the Ravens now listed at +340 to win the Super Bowl, just behind the Patriots at +300.
