The NFL season has yet to begin but Aaron Donald is already the MVP in one bettor’s heart. A BetMGM bettor placed a fairly substantial amount of money on the Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle’s long odds to win MVP and could see a major pay out if that happens.

This bettor placed $500 on Donald’s +20000 odds to win it for a potential pay out of $100,000. It’s worth a shot.
However, there’s been some line movement for the odds for Donald to win MVP since this bet. After opening at +20000, his odds have shortened to +12500. Baker Mayfield’s odds have also seen some movement, moving from where they opened at +4000 to +3500. Odds for Trey Lance to win the MVP have also shortened. His odds opened at +30000 and are now tied with Donald at +12500.
Lance is the biggest liability at BetMGM to win the award, followed by Mayfield, and Justin Herbert (+2200).
Herbert is also getting the second-highest percentage of tickets to win the MVP with 9 percent and the third highest handle percentage with 9.3 percent. Josh Allen (+1400) is getting the highest ticket percentage with 10.4 percent. Matthew Stafford (+2000) is seeing the third-highest ticket percentage with 8.7 percent and the highest handle percentage with 10.7 percent. Tom Brady (+1400) is getting the second-highest handle percentage to win the award with 9.4 percent.
