Futures bets, like the NFL MVP award, are wagers placed on events that will happen later in the season, not a single game or performance. These are bets on a more significant outcome that have yet to be decided.
Futures odds are typically available before and during the season, but the odds are constantly in flux. They change based on what’s happening in and around the sport, including team performances, roster changes, injuries, etc.
You can change your odds format at most NFL betting sites depending on your preference.
As the name suggests, American odds are commonly used in the U.S., giving you a triple-digit or higher number with either a minus or plus sign.
The whole American odds (or moneyline odds) system is based on betting $100.
The numbers next to a minus sign (-) tell you how much you must bet to win $100. The plus symbol (+) beside the numbers tells you how much you can win by betting $100.
The negative sign indicates the favourite, while the plus sign points to the underdog.
The Most Valuable Player (MVP) is the most prestigious honor in the NFL. The Associated Press awards it to the player who contributes the most to their team's success in the regular season. A panel of 50 sportswriters and broadcasters across the U.S. decides the MVP. The ballots are cast at the end of the regular season.
The same player often wins MVP and Offensive Player of the Year in one season.
The overwhelming majority of MVPs are quarterbacks, since they usually have the most significant game-changing impact on a team. Running backs and defenders have won the award in the past, though it's rare. No wide receiver has ever been named MVP.
