The NFL MVP race is rounding into form in the second half of the 2022 season, and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is the leader in the clubhouse ahead of Monday Night Football in Week 10.
Week 10 was another day at the office for Mahomes, as he threw for four touchdowns in a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Chiefs are the No. 1 seed in the AFC at the moment, and Mahomes is on pace to break Peyton Manning’s single-season passing yards record.
With Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills losing their second straight game in Week 10, Mahomes’ only competition appears to be Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts at the moment. Hurts and the undefeated Eagles have a Monday Night Football date with the Washington Commanders.
Patrick Mahomes Jumps to Major Favorite in Latest NFL MVP Odds
While Hurts can build his case on Monday night, Mahomes already has a pretty rock solid one in Kansas City. The Miami Dolphins are on the Chiefs’ tail for the No. 1 seed in the conference, but for now, Andy Reid’s club can run the table and finish with the top spot.
Mahomes has been electric all season, throwing for 300 or more yards in four straight games and posting a 25-7 touchdowns to interception ratio.
With Allen, the preseason favorite for the award, stumbling with two late turnovers against Minnesota, Mahomes can really control his own destiny here. Hurts certainly has a case if the Eagles remain undefeated, but Mahomes’ individual performance may give him the edge.
The Chiefs and Mahomes have a primetime matchup awaiting them in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
