2010 Super Bowl MVP Odds: Manning and Brees Betting Favorites

One of the popular prop bets in 2010 Super Bowl odds is the prop bet of who will win the MVP award. Quarterbacks have won the award in 22 of the previous 43 Super Bowls and Indianapolis’ Peyton Manning and New Orleans’ Drew Brees are the two betting favorites in Super Bowl MVP odds. Manning is favored to win the MVP at -250 with Brees +200 as the second choice. With the quarterbacks winning over half of the awards in Super Bowl MVP odds, it makes sense to follow history and by taking one of the betting favorites in Manning or Brees.

Brees threw 34 touchdown passes this season to lead the NFL while Manning was second with 33 TD throws. It should be noted though, that a wide receiver did win in Super Bowl MVP odds last year as Santonio Holmes of the Pittsburgh Steelers took the award. As gamblers look at 2010 Super Bowl odds for the MVP though, most people will probably take the star player from either the Saints or Colts for who they think will win the game. That makes sense since only once in Super Bowl history has a player from a losing team won the award and that was Chuck Howley of the Dallas Cowboys in 1971. Bet MVP Super Bowl odds at youwager sportsbook who have Peyton Manning -275 as the betting favorite followed by Drew Brees +200 with up to a 105% deposit bonus for Sunday's game with a start time at 6:00pm EST on CBS.

Only once in history have there been co-MVP’s and that was in Super Bowl XLII as Harvey Martin and Randy White won the award for Dallas. With neither team having a solid running game it is unlikely a running back will win in 2010 Super Bowl XLIV MVP odds even though running backs have won the award seven times in history. Wide receivers have won it six times while a defensive player has won the award seven times. Even a kick/punt returner has won the award once. If you are not going to take Manning or Brees as the betting favorites in Super Bowl odds for the MVP, then you probably want to look for a receiver to win it.

The Colts Reggie Wayne is listed at +800 and Pierre Garcon at +1300 in Super Bowl MVP odds while Indianapolis tight end Dallas Clark is +950. The lowest number on a New Orleans receiver is Marques Colston +1000. The MVP odds on running backs offer very little value. Unless Reggie Bush breaks a couple of long returns he is totally overvalued at +1350. The two top running backs for each team, Joseph Addai of the Colts and Pierre Thomas of the Saints are both around +600 in betting odds. If you are looking for a couple of longshots for each team in 2010 Super Bowl odds for the MVP, then taking a flyer on the Colts’ Austin Collie +1700 or the Saints’ Jeremy Schockey +2300 might be worth a look.

2010 Super Bowl MVP odds at youwager have Manning -250 and Brees +200 as betting favorites.
