Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson? Who will be named this year's MVP? With one game left in the 2024-2025 regular season, it's seeming like it will either be the Buffalo Bills quarterback or the Baltimore Ravens quarterback that gets the award.

Jackson is looking to win his third MVP and his second in a row while Allen is hoping to capture his first. Via FanDuel Sportsbook, Allen is the favorite to win MVP heading into the season finale with -350 odds. Jackson ranks second with +230 odds.

NFL GameDay published a post on X, asking who the MVP will go to this year, while comparing Allen's and Jackson's stats. Jackson leads Allen in almost every major offensive stat such as more offensive yards, more total touchdowns, more first downs picked up, and a better passer rating.

While the race is close, Dallas Cowboys star linebacker Micah Parsons isn't sure why it is. He thinks Jackson's numbers should warrant enough for him to take the crown from Allen, despite the oddsmakers thinking otherwise.
