With just three games remaining and right before perhaps the season’s biggest game, Josh Allen has moved to a -400 NFL MVP favorite at DraftKings.
The Bills quarterback entered the weekend as a -230 favorite, before throwing three touchdown passes and running for another 3 TD in the season’s highest scoring game. Buffalo lost 44-42 at the Rams to fall to 10-3.
The 10-3 Bills next visit the 12-1 Lions as two-point underdogs. Detroit QB Jared Goff is the third favorite with +1000 odds and could be catapulted with a strong game in a win.
In perhaps the season’s most memorable play, Allen last Sunday night recorded a unique receiving touchdown in snow conditions on national tv, as the quarterback became the odds-on NFL MVP favorite with -230 odds at FanDuel.
Allen threw a completion to Amari Cooper but as the wide receiver was being tackled, he lateraled the ball to Allen, who then raced to the endzone to score a TD by diving and extending the ball inside the pylon. The home crowd at Orchard Park celebrated and the primetime audience witnessed a dominating effort.
Saquon Barkley (+450) and the 11-1 Philadelphia Eagles have won nine straight games, after surviving a scare with the Carolina Panthers. Barkley remained the second favorite.
