The 2022 NFL season is upon us! While fans debate who will win the Super Bowl, what about discussing who will be the best player?

So let's take a look at one of the more popular player bets — this season's NFL Most Valuable Player award.

Here are the lines for some early favorites to win the 2022 NFL MVP award.

Will Aaron Donald become the first defensive player to win the award since Lawrence Taylor? Will Cooper Kupp keep his postseason dominance going?

"It’s so hard to push anyone to bet a non-QB. I think if you do, you are better off betting it in-season," longtime oddsmaker Jacob Blangsted-Barnor said. "You can usually get a non-QB that is surging at still a big price."

Can Josh Allen or Justin Herbert earn a seat at the elite table with an MVP trophy? Will Aaron Rodgers become just the second player — and perhaps, second Green Bay Packers' QB after Brett Favre — to win the award back-to-back-to-back?

"When it comes to QBs, it's an interesting one because a player like Mahomes or Brady may give you the consistency, but they’ve set their bar so high that they probably need a better season than most," Blangsted-Barnor said. "The QB bias is real for this award and for good reason, the award is called Most Valuable Player, and it's tough to ever argue a top skill player is as valuable as a QB."

As always, it will be a fun race. And if you are throwing a few bucks down on the award, be sure to head over to FOX Bet to place your wagers.
