Positive signalProjection

Burrow's 4-TD half vaults him to +450 MVP odds, second only to Allen.

Joe Burrow threw for 249 yards and four touchdowns in a half against the Ravens, leading the Bengals to a 35-0 victory in the second half on Sunday. This performance has elevated his MVP odds to +450 at BetMGM, moving him into second place behind Josh Allen (+140). The source notes Burrow's numbers are exceptional this season and the Bengals' team success gives him a legitimate MVP chance; voters like spreading the award around, which could help Burrow similar to how it benefited Allen two years ago. Burrow has a favorable schedule ahead starting with the Titans in Week 8, positioning him to continue cutting into Allen's MVP lead.
