Bills’ Josh Allen Odds Of Repeating As MVP Winner Follow Historical Path originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is the defending MVP entering the 2025 season after his exploits last year put a nice ribbon on his efforts.
Allen’s stats don’t jump out at you like Baker Mayfield’s or Joe Burrow’s did last year, but it was how Josh played that was crucial in his win.
Just six interceptions, and he played within himself as he led an offense that averaged 30.9 points per game to the playoffs yet again, and one could say with an average receiver room.
But now, as we look to 2025, what are the odds that Allen can repeat as MVP winner? Is that realistic? Bleacher Report thinks so.
“Last year’s winner has finished in the top five in MVP voting in each of the last three seasons and has all the tools to repeat,” Bleacher Report writes.
Now, Josh’s statline last year reads 3,731 passing yards, 28 touchdowns, and six interceptions with 531 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns.
Given how the league is now pass-happy, Allen will need to improve on those numbers, as Mayfield (41 touchdowns), Burrow (43), and Lamar Jackson (41) will likely be close to those numbers again.
Allen’s rushing touchdowns are a good tie-breaker, but his passing numbers will need to improve if he is to back up his MVP win with another. Yes, the wins will need to remain the same; that can’t drop off, but everything else needs to improve.
With Buffalo expected to seriously challenge for the Super Bowl, Allen will be in the MVP mix regardless, but to have a genuine shot at winning it and being just the sixth player in NFL history to go back-to-back, the Superman cape might need to come out more often.
