Allen’s odds at BetMGM have lengthened to -225 over the last couple weeks, leaving Jackson not far behind at +175 after he threw for two touchdowns and ran for another in Baltimore’s 31-2 thumping of the Texans on Christmas. If Allen wants to get Jackson off his heels, he’ll need to respond Sunday against the Jets.

Lamar Jackson has entered the chat. After the star quarterback delivered another memorable and eye-opening performance on national television, the NFL MVP race is now considered to be much tighter than previously thought — and that provides betting value in Week 17.

Plenty of players have made their case to be mentioned for the honor, most notably quarterbacks Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson and running back Saquon Barkley. That trio are at the top of the list for most, sportsbooks included.
