Oddsmakers aren’t big on Donald’s chances. The pass-rushing Defensive Tackle is given +1500 odds, or an implied 6.3% chance to win the award. That’s third-best on the Rams, and fourth-best on the market overall. He’s behind Matt Stafford, +125, Joe Burrow, +230, and Cooper Kupp, +700.
Perhaps those odds are exactly the reason why bettors are flocking to Donald. Over the last 7 days, 32.9% of bets have been placed on him to win Super Bowl MVP. Joe Burrow is second with 16.7% of bets. Then it’s Cooper Kupp at 15.5%. Matt Stafford is fourth with 7.7% of bets placed on him.
It’s only a little surprising to see the betting turn out this way. Bettors love pass rushers for these kinds of awards. Just last year, Jason Pierre-Paul and Shaq Barrett were 4th and 5th on the betting market. Bettors tend to gravitate to the best players at high-impact positions. In this Super Bowl, that’s Aaron Donald. Still, oddsmakers are right to be skeptical. There’s a reason a defensive player has only won the award 9 times in the 55 previous Super Bowls.
