Why He’s a Frontrunner: Mahomes is the favorite due to his consistent ability to perform under pressure and lead the Chiefs to victory. His 2023 season saw him throw for over 5,250 yards and 41 touchdowns, culminating in another Super Bowl win. His leadership and connection with head coach Andy Reid make him a strong candidate for his third MVP title. Key Factors: Health and chemistry with his receivers, especially with new additions, will be decisive for Mahomes. If the Chiefs dominate the AFC, his chances for another MVP award are high.
