Super Bowl FUTURES Notes
Despite superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, only West Virginia and Washington DC have seen more tickets to the Chiefs (). But in West Virginia, the Browns () generated the most handles, and the Washington Football team generated the most handles in our nation’s capital.
Strangely enough, the residents of Tennessee placed the most bets on the 49ers () to win the Super Bowl. Perhaps the state should be renamed Niner Nation East.

Most bets on NFL MVP FUTURES at BetMGM by state
Many of the usual suspects are running for the 2021 NFL MVP at BetMGM with Patrick Mahomes () at the top of the odds board, followed by reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers and young gunslinger Josh Allen (). Allen has drawn the most tickets in America, but Mahomes has drawn the most number of tickets.
However, there is certainly a certain diversity within the legal sports betting states.
| state | MVP with the most stakes based on the number of tickets | MVP with the most stakes after handle |
|---|---|---|
| All states | Josh Allen | Patrick Mahomes |
| Colorado | Josh Allen | Patrick Mahomes |
| Indiana | Josh Allen | Trey Lance |
| Michigan | Matthew Stafford | Matthew Stafford |
| New Jersey | Josh Allen | Aaron Donald |
| Pennsylvania | Josh Allen | Josh Allen |
| Tennessee | Derrick Henry | Patrick Mahomes |
| West Virginia | Patrick Mahomes | Patrick Mahomes |
NFL MVP FUTURES notes
In a strange trend, Indiana has the 49ers rookie QB Trey Lance under control, who is still in a contest with incumbent Jimmy Garoppolo.
New Jersey has three-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald (), although Lawrence Taylor was the last defensive player to win MVP in 1986. This may be skewed by a bet that BetMGM reported that Donald MVP would win, which would pay out $ 100,000 at odds of +20000.
Ultimately, Michigan residents placed the most tickets in a low-confidence vote in their hometown franchise, winning Matthew Stafford to win MVP (). Stafford, a former No. 1 overall pick, was up against former No. 1 pick Jared Goff () and Michigan residents seem to believe the talented veteran will thrive under coaching prodigy Sean McVay.
