Bettors have jumped on the bandwagon.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur worst result \u2013 by a big margin \u2013 would be Wilson winning, as he currently accounts for 16 percent of the MVP bets placed and has three times the handle of the second-highest liability,\u201d <\/strong>said Mike Korn, a sports analyst for PointsBet, to Casino.org<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Wilson, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes are the MVP front-runners through the first quarter of the season.<\/p>\n
