Super Bowl 60 odds, betting: Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is Super Bowl MVP favorite

It's a sentence that still feels odd to type, but Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has not only reached the Super Bowl, but is now the favorite to win Super Bowl MVP at sportsbooks.

Darnold had +130 odds at BetMGM to win Super Bowl LX MVP after the Seahawks beat Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams 31-27 in the NFC championship game on Sunday night in Seattle. Darnold was fantastic in the game, going 25-of-36 for 345 yards passing and three touchdowns while not turning the ball over once.

His QB counterpart Drake Maye has the next-best odds (+240) to win the award, followed by two Seahawks skill-position players.

WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who had 153 yards receiving and a touchdown on 10 catches in the NFC title game, has +500 odds, followed by Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III (+650).

No other player has single-digit odds, and there is quite a drop-off to the next player on the board: Seattle wide receiver/kick returner Rashid Shaheed at 25-1.

This market opened before the playoffs at sportsbooks, and Stafford and Darnold were both +600 co-favorites.

Heading into the championship weekend, Maye (10.4%) had the second-most wagers in the market and Smith-Njigba (26.3%) had the most total dollars wagered to win Super Bowl LX MVP. Smith-Njigba represents the sportsbook's current worst outcome for the award.

The Seahawks are currently 4.5-point favorites in Super Bowl LX at BetMGM.
