Chiefs’ Mahomes tabbed early favorite for 2024 NFL MVP
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes continued to add to his large trophy case on Sunday night, adding a third Super Bowl and Super Bowl MVP to his résumé in a 25-22 overtime win over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII.
Despite winning the title, the Chiefs are not the odds-on favorite to win Super Bowl LVIX. That distinction would go to the 49ers, who with +500 odds are ahead of the Chiefs’ at +700.
However, Mahomes has garnered the respect of the oddsmakers and is the early leader for the MVP award next season. Following the win Sunday night, Mahomes was already mentioning next season.
“I am going to celebrate tonight, celebrate at the parade and then work my way to get back in this game next year,” Mahomes said. “I am going to do whatever I can to be back in this game next year. Three-peat.”
