Buffalo QB Josh Allen remains the favorite in the latest NFL MVP odds , while the Week 5 board features several notable shifts. Comparing the current prices with the post-Week 4 odds, Allen shortened modestly from +270 to +250. San Francisco pivot Brock Purdy also shortened, while Jacksonville QB Trevor Lawrence drifted from +650 to +800 despite his Jaguars extending their win streak to three.

The clearest improvement in price among the leading names belongs to New England’s Drake Maye, who moved from +4000 after Week 4 to +1600. Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow also shortened substantially, from +1600 to +1100. On the other side, Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts, Denver’s Bo Nix, and Las Vegas’ Kirk Cousins all saw their odds fade significantly.

Drake Maye, New England Patriots: +4000 to +1600

Maye’s price shortened by the most among the top group shown here. The current +1600 puts him in the leading cluster behind Allen, Purdy, Mahomes and Lawrence.

Maye’s case rests on efficiency and legs. He is averaging 8.13 yards per attempt, completing 65.6% of his throws for 1,228 yards, and he leads this group’s quarterbacks in rushing with 161 yards on 30 carries. The warning sign is the seven interceptions, the most of any quarterback on this list, against eight touchdown passes.

New England is 3-2, and his 11 sacks taken are among the higher totals here. The market is paying for the dual-threat profile despite the turnovers.

Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals: +1600 to +1100

Burrow also moved materially toward the front of the board. His current price is shorter than Lawrence’s and matches Lamar Jackson’s, placing him among the next group behind the four shortest prices.
