Overview
- DraftKings’ midseason MVP odds now have Allen at +180 ahead of Patrick Mahomes (+350), Drake Maye (+425) and Matthew Stafford (+550).
- Allen completed 23 of 26 passes to set a Buffalo single-game completion record in a 28-21 Week 9 victory over Kansas City.
- The Bills improved to 6-2 as the Chiefs dropped to 5-4, with Mahomes finishing 15-of-34 for 250 yards, no touchdowns and one interception.
- Recent analyst rankings place Allen at No. 1 in the race, with Stafford and Maye emerging as the primary challengers based on production and team results.
- Non-quarterbacks such as Colts running back Jonathan Taylor are drawing praise for big numbers but are widely viewed as long-shot MVP bets.
