C.J. Stroud ran away with NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors amid a surprising AFC title run for the Houston Texans last season, and sportsbooks appear to like his chances of taking a leap forward in 2024.
Stroud has emerged as one of the betting favorites to win the NFL's MVP award, with DraftKings Sportsbook listing him tied with Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen for the second-lowest odds at +850 (i.e., a $100 bet would net $850 in winnings). Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes is the current favorite at +475, while reigning MVP Lamar Jackson is listed at +1400.
