It should come as no surprise that quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs and Jimmy Garoppolo of the San Francisco 49ers have opened as the two favorites with the NFL Odds to win the Most Valuable Player Award of Super Bowl IV. After all quarterback is far and away the most common position winner with 29 of the previous 53 Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award winners coming from that position. But bargain hunters should not be discouraged as there are some other choices with realistic chances and plenty of betting value. Let’s take a look at top candidates and values for the Most Valuable Player Award of Super Bowl LIV.

Super Bowl LIV MVP Betting Odds Analysis
Public betting drives this prop a great deal. Patrick Mahomes and Jimmy Garoppolo are the two most high profile and best-known players on the respective teams. Gamblers looking for a bit more quality value will gravitate towards 49ers running back Raheem Mostert after his dominant performance last week. It’s also conceivable that tight ends George Kittle of the Niners and Travis Kelce of the Chiefs, along with KC wideout Tyreek Hill, could also deliver. Simply keep in mind that QB’s win the overwhelming majority of the time, including seven of the last 10 Super Bowls, and you’ll pay through the nose to take one.
Patrick Mahomes
Whatever is said about 2018 NFL Most Valuable Player Patrick Mahomes its likely not enough. Mahomes has proven to be as good of a team leader as he is a quarterback. His stirring leadership and play in comeback playoff victories over the Texans and Titans was both dynamic and inspiring.
Jimmy Garoppolo
Unlike Mahomes, Garoppolo is not a playmaking stat machine. Instead he is a top shelf game manager that avoids mistakes and makes the plays he has to make. Comparative playoff QB ratings have Mahomes at 131.5 with Garoppolo at 83.6. However, Garoppolo doesn’t have to carry the 49ers the way Mahomes must trigger the Chiefs.
Raheem Mostert
San Francisco running back Raheem Mostert will be the first to tell you that he had a considerable amount of help from his offensive line in the NFC Championship game where he ran for a staggering 220 yards on 29 carries good for 7.6 yards per carry with four touchdowns. Mostert compiled 772 yards rushing in the regular season with 5.6 yards per carry and eight TD’s. Kansas City’s run defense is not nearly as bad as Green Bay’s but is hardly dominant.
The Receivers
Tight ends George Kittle and Travis Kelce are two of the best. Kelce in particular can take over a game in sync with Mahomes. In the AFC Divisional playoff against Houston Kelce ate the Texans alive. Tyreek Hill is more of a game breaker as Chiefs wideout. “The Cheetah” was a force in the AFC Championship Game win over Tennessee.
Super Bowl LIV Most Valuable Player Free Picks
So far in the playoffs Mahomes has demonstrated why he won the NFL MVP last year. Yes, the Kansas City quarterback is expensive. He is also a force of nature the likes of which has rarely if ever been seen. His indominable spirit and character has propelled the Chiefs to their first Super Bowl in 50 years.
