The Seattle Seahawks (16-3, 14-5 ATS) and New England Patriots (17-3, 13-7 ATS) will meet in a heavyweight clash in Super Bowl 60 in two weeks’ time. Both teams are led by quarterbacks currently in the midst of MVP-caliber seasons. While Super Bowl MVP isn’t quite as quarterback-dominated as the regular-season NFL MVP odds, the two elite pivots are still head-and-shoulders above their teammates in the opening odds for Super Bowl 60’s most-valuable player.

The table below sets out the Super Bowl 60 MVP odds for the top-40 favorites on the board at DraftKings.

He’s followed by New England pivot Drake Maye at +235 (29.85% implied win probability).
