NFL Super Bowl LV MVP Betting Props
One of the first Super Bowl props listed at online sportsbooks every year is who will win the MVP award. The odds almost always favor the two quarterbacks and that is the case again for Super Bowl LV, as Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes is the even money favorite, while Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady is the second choice in the betting at odds of +220. It makes sense that the two quarterbacks would be the top choices, as a quarterback has won the Super Bowl MVP award a total of 30 times. It is worth noting, however, that a non-quarterback has won the award in three of the last seven years, with Julian Edelman winning two years ago, while defensive players won the award for Super Bowl 50 and Super Bowl XLVIII.

The Super Bowl MVP has actually been awarded 52 times in the 51-year history of the game, as there were co-MVPs in Super Bowl 12 with Harvey Martin and Randy White splitting the honors for the Dallas Cowboys. To date, the only man who has won the Super Bowl MVP award for the losing team was Chuck Howley of the Cowboys. Dallas lost Super Bowl 5 to the Baltimore Colts 16-13, but it wasn't a particularly great game in terms of the stat sheet. No one scored more than one touchdown on the day. Earl Morrall and Johnny Unitas split time at quarterback rather ineffectively, and outside of a 75-yard TD reception by John Mackey, there wasn't really a "wow" play in the game. Howley intercepted two passes, making him the first man to ever have two picks for his career in a Super Bowl, let alone two in the same game.
A total of 22 of the 51 Super Bowl MVPs went on to the Hall of Fame, and there are at least a dozen others who will have their busts in Canton when they end up retiring.
Only six players in the history of the Super Bowl have won both Super Bowl MVP and regular season MVP, and there are only 10 examples of men who won the regular season MVP award and then the Super Bowl in the same season. The last in both cases was Kurt Warner with the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl 36. Matt Ryan probably had his mitts on the Super Bowl MVP award had the Falcons not blown a 25-point lead in Super Bowl 51, and that would have made him next in line to win both Super Bowl MVP and regular season MVP in the same year.

Of the 52 Super Bowl MVPs, 10 of them have come from the defensive side of the ball, while 42 have been on offense. If we want to be technical about it, Desmond Howard didn't win the Super Bowl MVP for his efforts in Super Bowl 31 for the Green Bay Packers because of his offense. He had the 99-yard kick return for a touchdown that effectively put the game away late in the third quarter and had 244 combined kick return yards for the day.
The Super Bowl MVP has been awarded to the winning quarterback 55 percent of the time in the league's history, though it should be noted that two of the last four Super Bowl MVPs came from the defensive side of the ball and weren't quarterbacks.

There is no debate left about Tom Brady being the top dog in NFL history. His epic comeback was one for the ages in Super Bowl 51 to lift the Patriots over the Falcons, and that not only made him the first five-time Super Bowl winner as a starting quarterback, but it also made him the first man to win Super Bowl MVP four times.
There are only four men in the history of the NFL to win the Super Bowl MVP award at least twice. Joe Montana won it three times, while Eli Manning and Bart Starr won it twice. Starr won each of the first two Super Bowl MVP awards, and his feat of back-to-back Super Bowl MVPs has not since been replicated. Even though there won't be odds to win Super Bowl MVP posted until January 2018, Brady would be the favorite to do so since his Patriots have opened up as the clear +650 favorites to win the Super Bowl for a second straight season.
No man has won Super Bowl MVP on two different teams in his career, and Brady easily holds the record for the longest span of time between Super Bowl MVPs, going 11 years between his second and third Super Bowl MVPs in Super Bowls 38 and 49.
