Super Bowl LIX MVP predictions, best bets by Chris "The Bear" Fallica

Looking for a lottery ticket type score? 

Check out the Super Bowl MVP market prior to Sunday’s conference title games. 

I think we all agree that if the Bills or Commanders win the Super Bowl, there will be no way around Josh Allen or Jayden Daniels being Super Bowl MVP. 

However, if the Chiefs or Eagles win, I do think the potential exists for there to be a longshot winner in this market and even one on the defensive side of the ball. 

Chris Jones 60-1

Many will just assume Patrick Mahomes will win the MVP should the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, and maybe that is the case. Mahomes shouldn’t have been MVP of the Super Bowl LIV when running back Damien Williams rushed 17 times for 104 yards and one TD, and also caught a TD pass, while DL Aaron Donald should have been MVP of Super Bowl LVI. So I get the hesitation in voting for a defensive lineman. 

However, the Chiefs would face either Philadelphia, where the biggest challenge would be to slow down the Eagles running game, or Washington, where the biggest challenge would be slowing down Daniels. 

Washington has OL issues inside which could also boost Jones’ production. It might not always show up in the counting stats, but if you watch the game, you know who the best player on the Chiefs defense is, whether the writers voting for the award choose to reward him. 

Xavier Worthy 70-1 

Worthy has seen his role in the offense increase big time late in the year. In his last seven games, he’s seen 6, 7, 6, 11, 11, 9 and 6 targets. He also has 11 carries in that span. Against a solid Eagles defense, getting him the ball in a variety of ways could be the path to points and victory. 

And against Washington, his numbers could be even bigger. 

Zack Baun 100-1, Jalen Carter 1
