Tom Brady already has the most Super Bowl MVPs in league history with four, and he’ll have a chance to add to his own record next Sunday when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV.
Brady – who earned the honor in 2002, 2004, 2015, and 2017 – currently has the second-best odds to do so in 2021, behind Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Sports Betting Dime, which notes that 30 of the past 55 Super Bowl MVPs have been quarterbacks, puts Mahomes’s odds at +110 and Brady’s at +250.
After that, there’s a significant drop-off. Chiefs stars Tyreek Hill (+900), Travis Kelce (+900), and Tyrann Mathieu (+2000) all appear on the list before another Buccaneer (Mike Evans, +2500). Rob Gronkowski is 19th (+5000), so betting on the seasoned tight end could yield a decent chunk of change.
Fan Duel puts Brady at +200, behind Mahomes but well ahead of the rest of the pack. Draft Kings has him at +225, also behind Mahomes and firmly in front of everyone else. The Lines also slots Mahomes first (+110) and Brady second (+250).
Both teams are offensive juggernauts, and the consensus among oddsmakers is that the game will be a shootout. The over/under opened at 57.5 and dipped to 56.5 on Sunday night. If it closes at 57.5 or more, it would be the highest total in Super Bowl betting history.
All sites favor the Chiefs to win the game – some by 3 points and others by 3.5.
