Burrow Leads MVP Race as Bengals Seek Playoff Return in 2025
20 Aug
Summary
- Burrow had historic 2024 season with 4,918 yards, 43 TDs
- Burrow has most bets and money wagered to win 2025 MVP
- Bengals missed playoffs in 2024 despite Burrow's standout year
As the 2025 NFL season approaches, all eyes are on Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow to see if he can replicate his incredible 2024 campaign. Last year, Burrow put up staggering numbers, throwing for 4,918 yards and 43 touchdowns while tossing just 9 interceptions. His total QBR of 74.7 was the highest of his career so far.
Despite Burrow's heroics, the Bengals fell short of the playoffs, finishing the season 9-8. Now, the betting public is expecting an MVP season from the young quarterback in 2025. Burrow's odds of +600 to win the MVP award tie him for the third-best at BetMGM, behind only Lamar Jackson (+550) of the Baltimore Ravens and Josh Allen (+600) of the Buffalo Bills.
In fact, Burrow has the most bets and total dollars wagered to win MVP at multiple sportsbooks. "Burrow is the most-bet player and our biggest liability [among realistic candidates]," BetMGM NFL trader Christian Cipollini told Yahoo Sports. With 15.7% of all MVP wagers and 24.3% of the handle at BetMGM, the betting public is clearly backing Burrow to take home the prestigious award in 2025.
