NFL MVP odds: How the race looks before MNF

T-1. QB Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles (+300)

Last week: 2 (+300)

Hurts' odds have not changed over the course of the week. He had a bye in Week 10, and the Eagles have not yet played at the time of writing. Still, his odds were enough to enter a tie for first place when Mahomes' odds slightly dipped ahead of "Monday Night Football."

T-1. QB Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs (+300)

Last week: 1 (+275)

Just like Hurts, Mahomes had a Week 10 bye and still is waiting to play in Week 11's Monday night clash. Even without playing, the reigning MVP's odds dipped over the course of this week. It's given the Chiefs' matchup with the Eagles some extra spice – the top spot in MVP odds will be on the line.
