A.J. Brown Super Bowl 57 MVP Odds: Latest Super Bowl 2023 MVP Odds

A.J. Brown’s current Super Bowl MVP odds are . A wide receiver won the Super Bowl MVP award last year. Can A.J. Brown make it back-to-back non-quarterbacks?

The Eagles star emerged as a legitimate No. 1 receiver in Tennessee and took it to a new level in his first season in Philadelphia, flashing an instant connection with Jalen Hurts and turning in a career-best season. Let’s take a look at whether Brown is worth betting for Super Bowl LVII MVP honors.

A.J. Brown Super Bowl MVP Odds

Brown can be had for as much as +1800 to be named Super Bowl LVII MVP, which is a huge jump from the two quarterbacks. While this award goes to a quarterback more often than not, that’s far from a guarantee. It wasn’t the case last year, and a non-quarterback winning is a distinct possibility this year with three game-changing offensive playmakers in Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Kansas City’s Travis Kelce.

The playoffs haven’t exactly been a showcase for Brown, but the season has. Brown had 1,496 yards and 11 touchdowns, posting 70+ yards in 10 of his 17 regular season games.

The Eagles didn’t have to throw the ball much against the Giants and 49ers. While the running game will remain the key to the offense in Super Bowl LVII, you would have to think the Chiefs will score some points themselves and put more pressure on Hurts to throw the ball. That’s good news for Brown, whose candidacy might be boom-or-bust based on big plays.

Of course, it has to be noted that wide receivers are at a disadvantage for this award. Super Bowl MVP can be swung by emotion, since it’s a heat of the moment vote, and the prominent names of quarterbacks tend to stand out.

The other major disadvantage for receivers is the mere fact that their yards and touchdowns are also credited to the quarterback. A receiver needs to truly stand out above the rest, and that’s exactly what Cooper Kupp did for the Rams last season when he was Matthew Stafford’s go-to on the game-winning drive.

The disadvantage applies to any receiver, but Brown does have Kupp’s capability of turning a game upside down with a big play. What Brown will have to do is surround those big plays with impressive shorter-yardage gains that pad his yard total. Brown didn’t see heavy usage against the 49ers or Giants, though there’s no reason for Hurts to avoid him if the Eagles get into a close game and need to utilize the passing game more than they have in these playoffs – which should happen.

+1800 is a nice value for Brown if you can get it. If the odds are similar for him or Kelce, though, Kelce seems like the safer option considering Brown has to share targets with Smith and might not be the focal point of the Eagles’ offense like Kelce can be for the Chiefs.
