Top NFL MVP Winners Picks

Jordan Love (+1200)

No player not named Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, or Aaron Rodgers has won the MVP award since 2017, as those three quarterbacks have each won multiple MVPs in that span. However, we are willing to take a flier on Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love to break up that dynamic add his name to that mix, especially given how strongly he finished last season.

The Packers went 3-6 through the first nine games last season, as Love totaled a 14-10 TD-INT ratio and a 48 Total QBR. However, Love caught fire over the final eight games, leading the Packers to a 6-2 record, posting an 18-1 TD-INT ratio and a 75 Total QBR (the best in the NFL in that span). Love finished with the second-most passing touchdowns (32) and the seventh-most passing yards (4,159) last season, and things only continue to look up for a Green Bay franchise that was the youngest team to win a playoff game since the 1970 merger.

Love may have no choice but to keep being the gunslinger that he is if the Packers defense does not improve. Over the last three seasons, Green Bay’s defense has allowed 4.7 yards per rush (30th), a 54 Total QBR (25th), and a 27% 3rd-and-long conversion rate (26th). In 2023 alone, the Packers defense ranked 25th in third down conversions allowed (41%), 23rd in Efficiency (52), tied for 23rd in takeaways (18) and 20th in quarterback pressures (191). 

The NFC North is considered a much better division top to bottom than it was a year ago after Detroit’s success and with Chicago’s future looking much brighter with Caleb Williams under center. Thus, if Love can lead Green Bay to its first division title since 2021, that would go a long way in helping his MVP candidacy.

Brock Purdy (+1200)

The San Francisco 49ers have the second-best odds to win the Super Bowl and by far the shortest odds to win the NFC (+250), so if MVP voting this season is tied at all to team success, Brock Purdy’s +1200 odds to win MVP seem like a steal, especially after he finished fourth in MVP and sixth in Offensive Player of the Year voting last season.

Purdy’s 66 QBR was the sixth-highest ever by a rookie since 2006 (among 73 rookie quarterbacks with a minimum of 100 pass attempts). He has won 17 of his 21 starts, and led the league in touchdown percentage, yards per attempt, air yards per attempt, yards per catch, and QBR last season.

Purdy also set a franchise record with 4,280 passing yards last season, and became just the fourth quarterback since 1950 to win his first 10 starts of his career. Perhaps unfairly, Purdy is viewed by many as a system quarterback who is buoyed by the elite talent around him, especially since Christian McCaffrey’s elite rushing ability takes some of the shine away from Purdy’s accomplishments. However, we believe this is the year where Purdy starts to earn more respect as the key reason for the team’s success, and ranking him tied for sixth on the odds leaderboard for MVP heading into the season feels disrespectful.
