Lamar Jackson 2024 NFL MVP odds (Can the Ravens QB win back-to-back MVPs?)
Breaking down the latest odds to win NFL MVP including whether or not Lamar Jackson has a chance to win the award in back-to-back seasons.
The 2023 NFL season didn't end the way the Baltimore Ravens wanted it to, but there are plenty of positives to take away from the campaign, including the play of Lamar Jackson, who won his second NFL MVP award.
The play of Jackson this season should be enough to give Ravens' fans hope. You have your quarterback of the future and there's no reason why you won't be in the mix for the next handful of years.
Now that we're in the offseason, it's time to start looking ahead to the 2024 season and one of the ways we can do that is taking a look at the several lists of odds that are available to bet on.
One of those odds lists is to be named 2024 NFL MVP. Despite just winning his second, the Raven's QB is further down the list then you might expect.
Let's take a look at the latest MVP odds and then I'll break down Lamar's chances of going back-to-back.

Lamar Jackson fifth on odds list to win back-to-back NFL MVP
Despite being the defending NFL MVP and having won the award twice already in his young career, Lamar Jackson is fifth on the odds list at FanDuel Sportsbook to be named MVP again in 2024.
His odds are currently set at +1200, which is behind Patrick Mahomes (+650), Josh Allen (+800), Joe Burrow (+1000), and CJ Stroud (+1100). Being fifth on the odds list seems disrespectful for being a two-time winner of the award.
The argument could be made that he'll have to outperform his 2023 numbers for voters to give him the award for a second-straight season, but the precedent is there. Aaron Rodgers won the award in back-to-back seasons in both 2020 and 2021. Before then, Peyton Manning had won it in back-to-back seasons in 2008 and 2009, so there's certainly a history of players being given the award in two-straight seasons.
One of the biggest reasons Jackson won the award last year was the fact he had his best performances in the biggest games, most notably a dominant performance against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 16.
His numbers didn't stack up to his numbers when he won the award in 2019, but with no other player making an extremely strong case for it this season, he was able to snatch the award by simply being the best player on the best team.
Can he win it again in 2024? Absolutely. Is he worth a bet at +1200? Absolutely.
