MVP odds pulled after All-Pro results

DraftKings removed NFL MVP betting odds on Friday morning, once the Associated Press announced Lamar Jackson being named to the All-Pro First Team with 30 of the 50 votes.

Josh Allen was the -450 MVP betting favorite, while Jackson was the second favorite with odds around +245.

Only DraftKings still had odds posted, even though votes were due by Wednesday at 5pm ET. The betting menu was slated to close once the first playoff game kicked off on Saturday.

The same 50 media members vote for both All-Pro and all the awards. The winners will be announced in a ceremony over Super Bowl weekend.

Lamar Jackson is the reigning MVP and has better statistics than either of his two MVP seasons. He has 41 touchdown passes and just four interceptions this year, along with 915 rushing yards and four more TD.

Meanwhile, Joe Burrow’s odds crashed the past few weeks, as the Cincinnati Bengals strengthened their playoff chances by winning their final five games. Entering Sunday’s slate, the QB was the third favorite with +1400 odds after being a 200-to-1 longshot a month earlier.

However, once Cincy was eliminated, Burrow became the fourth favorite with +1000 odds. Eagles running back Saquon Barkley closed as the third favorite with +8000 odds.

Three weeks ago, Allen finished with three touchdown passes, while running for another three TD in a 44-42 loss at the Los Angeles Rams. Last month, 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.
