Brock Purdy Joins Josh Allen as Co-Favorite for NFL MVP

As the NFL season progresses into Week 5, both Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills and Brock Purdy of the San Francisco 49ers have emerged as co-favorites for the MVP award, each holding 3-1 odds.

Allen, who previously won the MVP in 2024, has been a strong contender, but Purdy's performance this season has been remarkable. He currently boasts the highest passer rating in the league at 126.3 and has not been sacked in his first four games, achieving two or more touchdown passes in each game without a sack. This streak ties him for the third longest in NFL history.

Both quarterbacks have significant matchups this weekend, with Purdy's 49ers set to face the Seattle Seahawks and Allen's Bills taking on the Los Angeles Rams. Other contenders include Trevor Lawrence of the Jaguars at 6-1 and Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs at 6.5-1.
