The matchup for Super Bowl LIV is set with the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, and some sportsbooks have already released odds for which player will win the game's MVP award.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes currently leads all players as the outright favorite to win the award according to sportsbooks, but many other players are close behind.
Patrick Mahomes, quarterback, Kansas City Chiefs
Throughout the NFL playoffs, Mahomes has been nearly unstoppable and many sportsbooks believe he will continue to dominate in the Super Bowl.
After leading his team to wins against the Houston Texans and the Tennessee Titans, he will appear in the first Super Bowl of his career, in which he is the favorite to win the game's MVP award. During the playoffs, Mahomes has compiled 615 passing yards, 8 touchdowns and a quarterback rating of 95.5. His odds to win Super Bowl LIV MVP are listed below.
Bovada: +115
DraftKings: +115
Fanduel: +110
Jimmy Garoppolo, quarterback, San Francisco 49ers
Garoppolo already has two Super Bowl championships while playing as Tom Brady's backup with the New England Patriots, but Super Bowl LIV will be his first appearance as a starter.
Like Mahomes, he has helped lead his team through the playoffs to make the Super Bowl, and he is currently listed as the second favorite the win the game's MVP award. During the playoffs, Garoppolo has 208 passing yards and one passing touchdown. While his stats may be far behind those of Mahomes, sportsbooks believe that he could have a breakout game and win MVP. His odds are listed below.
Bovada: +200
DraftKings: +225
Fanduel: +240
Raheem Mostert, running back, San Francisco 49ers
Throughout the playoffs, the 49ers have shown their stellar run game, which is led by Mostert. During the playoffs, Mostert compiled 278 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns, most of which came in his most recent game against the Green Bay Packers.
Sportsbooks may also have improved his odds after fellow 49er running back Tevin Coleman suffered a dislocated shoulder. Coleman's availability for the Super Bowl is unknown. Mostert's odds are listed below.
Bovada: +550
DraftKings: +900
Fanduel: +750
George Kittle, tight end, San Francisco 49ers
As the 49ers have dominated teams through their run game, Kittle has seen a decline in his stats, but some sportsbooks think this could change in the Super Bowl.
Over the course of his two playoff games this season, Kittle has 35 receiving yards and is yet to score touchdowns. If the Chiefs are successful in stopping the 49ers run game, they will likely look to Kittle and Garoppolo to step up. His odds to win the award are listed below.

DraftKings: +1600
Fanduel: +1700
Travis Kelce, tight end, Kansas City Chiefs

DraftKings: +2000
Fanduel: +1800
Tyreek Hill, wide receiver, Kansas City Chiefs
Like Kelce, Hill has been a strong option for the Chiefs during the playoffs. During his two playoff games, Hill has 108 receiving yards and two touchdowns. His odds to win Super Bowl LIV MVP are listed below.
