Odds Favor Josh Allen’s Repeat MVP Bid, Following Historical Precedent Trastitulares
By Athlon Sports – Jul 5, 2025
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is entering the 2025 NFL season as the defending MVP, following a standout performance last year that solidified his position. While Allen’s statistical output might not immediately command attention, as it did for players like Baker Mayfield and Joe Burrow, it was his overall performance and strategic approach that ultimately secured his victory.
Allen’s 2024 season saw him compile 3,731 passing yards, 28 touchdowns and six interceptions, alongside 531 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns, leading the Bills to the playoffs. The team’s offense averaged 30.9 points per game, despite operating with a receiving corps facing considerable competition.
However, as the NFL continues to prioritize high-scoring offenses, questions arise regarding Allen’s ability to repeat as MVP. Bleacher Report has recently assessed the odds, concluding that he possesses the necessary tools for a successful repeat. “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,” the report stated.
A key factor for Allen will be improving his passing numbers. Players like Mayfield (41 touchdowns), Burrow (43) and Lamar Jackson (41) are expected to be closely competitive in the touchdown department. Furthermore, maintaining the Bills’ winning record – a crucial element – will be paramount. While Allen’s rushing touchdowns provide a significant tie-breaker, a substantial upgrade in his passing efficiency will be required for him to truly challenge for the MVP title and achieve the rare feat of becoming just the sixth player in NFL history to repeat as back-to-back MVP winners.
The Bills are widely anticipated to be a serious contender for the Super Bowl, placing Allen squarely in the MVP conversation. However, to maximize his chances of victory and emulate a historic achievement, Allen’s offensive capabilities will likely require a noticeable enhancement.
