Drake Maye leaves bookies in no doubt about the NFL’s MVP favorite

Another week, another win for the 2025 New England Patriots. Against a New York Giants team that never truly threatened in a 33-15 Patriots victory, New England once again looked dominant in every phase. Gillette Stadium was packed with fans buying into an identity the franchise had been searching for in recent years.

A new era in Foxborough

The excitement is real and it is justified. Mike Vrabel’s first year as head coach has opened the door to big dreams, helped along by a young quarterback with elite talent and the long runway needed to build a project that can last for years. Drake Maye arrived to stay and his early start could not be better. Even this early in his career, he is already pushing for what could be his first MVP award.

Sportsbooks are taking notice

Before Maye lit up the Giants on Monday Night Football with 282 passing yards, two touchdown throws and a 126 passer rating, sportsbooks already had him as the favorite for the NFL’s top individual honor.

Maye currently leads the MVP board at -130, the only player with negative odds. Trailing him are:

• Matthew Stafford +120
• Dak Prescott +1400
• Jordan Love +1800
• Josh Allen +2500
• Caleb Williams +6000

The race tightens in the weeks ahead

The next few games will be critical in shaping the MVP conversation. Having a second-year quarterback at the front of the race underscores how quickly the league may be shifting. Maye is not just ahead of schedule, he is signaling a potential changing of the guard across the NFL.
