The Dallas Cowboys scored an impressive victory on Sunday night at AT&T Stadium, where they defeated the NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles convincingly, cruising to a 33-13 win. In the process, a new frontrunner for the NFL MVP Award emerged.
Through 14 weeks of the 2023 season, the Cowboys’ quarterback Dak Prescott has become the betting favorite to be named the NFL MVP. The 30-year-old, who’s playing his eighth season in the league, has never previously won the award.
It’s not a walk in the park that Prescott will finish first in NFL MVP voting, though, especially with four weeks of the regular season still to play. There are other players in the mix who could make a strong case to nab the award.
Here’s a look at the latest NFL MVP odds, followed by predictions for how the race will shake out down the stretch.

Predictions
The NFL MVP Award doesn’t always go to a quarterback. However, it has been more than a decade since a non-QB received the honor, as it hasn’t occurred since running back Adrian Peterson won the award for the 2012 season.
During that time, various quarterbacks have been named NFL MVP. That group includes the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes, who is a two-time winner and has been trying to capture his second straight honor this season.
It seems unlikely that Mahomes wins the award, though, considering the Chiefs are 8-5 after losing two straight games to the Packers and the Bills.
It’s also unlikely a non-QB wins NFL MVP this season. Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill and 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey are both in the mix, but neither will receive more votes than the quarterbacks in the running.
Anything could happen over the next four weeks. But don’t be surprised if Cowboys QB Dak Prescott ends up being a first-time NFL MVP winner.
Prescott leads the league with 28 touchdown passes, and he ranks third with 3,505 yards. The Mississippi State product has also thrown just six interceptions through Dallas’ first 13 games.
