After a season of waiting, the Super Bowl is finally here. The Cincinnati Bengals will face the Los Angeles Rams in Los Angeles in what should be one of the best games of the season. Both rosters are absolutely stacked with star talent, which means that picking the Super Bowl MVP will likely be one of the most profitable prop bets available. Let's get straight into the best MVP picks available on both sides.
Here are the Super Bowl MVP odds, courtesy of FanDuel.
Bengals Super Bowl 56 MVP Odds
Joe Burrow: +230
Ja'Marr Chase: +2500
Tee Higgins: +6000
Cincinnati has a prohibitive favorite to win this award, and it shouldn't surprise anyone. Quarterback Joe Burrow is easily the most-picked Bengal in this category for good reason.
For more insight on the Super Bowl 56 matchup between the Rams and Bengals, listen below:
Burrow has been absolutely electric throughout the postseason, compiling 842 passing yards and four touchdowns on 7.7 yards per passing attempt. He single-handedly led Cincinnati back into the game in the AFC Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs, sparking a legendary comeback to bring his team back from an 18-point deficit. If the Bengals win this game, it will certainly be in large part because of Burrow.
It helps that Super Bowl MVP has largely been a quarterback award. In four of the five most recent Super Bowls, the MVP has been awarded to a signal-caller. Cincinnati doesn't really have any other viable candidates for the award, as a monster day for one of Burrow's receivers obviously means a huge stat line for Burrow. While there are some great players on this Bengals defense, none of them are really in contention here.
Rams Super Bowl 56 MVP Odds
Matthew Stafford: +125
Cooper Kupp: +550
Aaron Donald: +1500

Despite the fact that this award typically goes to quarterbacks, Matthew Stafford isn't the best pick on the board here. Aaron Donald's line is just too good to pass up. There's no way his line should be set at +1500, especially in this matchup against Cincinnati's abysmal offensive line.
The Bengals allowed constant pressure in the AFC Championship game a week after allowing nine sacks to the Tennessee Titans in the Divisional Round. Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons racked up three sacks in that game on his own. Donald is obviously a far better player than Simmons, and he has a much better supporting cast around him.
It's entirely possible that the all-time great completely wrecks Cincinnati's offense on his own. It's fair to expect constant pressure throughout the game from Donald, and that will probably be enough to net him the Super Bowl MVP.
