Josh Allen is now a -900 favorite at DraftKings to win the NFL MVP, following another shining performance in a high-profile game, bringing his recent run to 14 total touchdowns over his last three games.
Allen entered the weekend as a -400 favorite before the Buffalo Bills dominated the Detroit Lions in the Motor City, 48-42. Buffalo improved to 11-3 and trails the Kansas City Chiefs by two games with three games remaining in the regular season.
Last weekend, Allen finished with three touchdown passes, while running for another three TD in a 44-42 loss at the Los Angeles Rams.
Two weeks ago, in perhaps the season’s most memorable play, Allen recorded a unique receiving touchdown in snowy conditions on national television.
Allen completed a pass to Amari Cooper but as the wide receiver was being tackled, he lateraled the ball to his quarterback, 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.
Following a five-touchdown performance, Lamar Jackson is now the +550 second favorite. He ranks fifth in passing yards and second in passing touchdowns, while also posting 743 rushing yards and three touchdowns.
Saquon Barkley (+130) and the 12-2 Philadelphia Eagles have won 10 straight games, after defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers, 27-13, in a high-profile game between division leaders..
