Josh Allen entered the evening +400 to win his first career MVP award.

One Bills beatdown of the Jaguars later and he’s now that favorite.

Allen jumped to +200 after a dazzling primetime performance, leapfrogging Patrick Mahomes, who moved from +220 to +325.

Allen went 23-of-30 for 263 yards and four touchdowns as the Bills blew out the Jaguars, 47-10. He did nearly all his damage in the first half as Buffalo raced out to a historic 34-3 halftime lead. In that first half, Allen completed 22-of-28 passes for 247 yards and four touchdowns. The quarterback has thrown for 634 yards with seven touchdowns and no interceptions this season as the Bills are a perfect 3-0.

Meanwhile, Mahomes also has his team undefeated heading into a Week 4 clash against the division rival Chargers. The two-time MVP is 64-of-92 for 659 yards with five touchdowns and four interceptions.

C.J. Stroud has the next best odds at +1300, but it’s a distant third to Allen and Mahomes. Stroud is 67-of-99 for 709 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions.
