Everything you need to know about the NFL MVP award

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The NFL Most Valuable Player award is given to the most outstanding player in an NFL regular season. For many fans, this is a good way to compare players and see who really does carry their team to success. 

This award has been handed out by different organizations since the 1930s including The Sporting News, United Press International, and the Newspaper Enterprise Association who gave out the Jim Thorpe Trophy between 1955 and 2008. But since 2009, the NFL MVP has been issued by just two organizations – the Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA) and the Associated Press (AP).

These two organizations have consistently given the award to the same person since 2004, but that changed in 2024 when AP gave the award to Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen while PFWA went for Baltimore Ravens’ Lamar Jackson.

Now, of course, there are already early predictions about who will win the 2025 NFL MVP, and fans have already started to back their favorite players by betting on them to go home with the prize. And well, if you are looking to hop on that wagon, you might benefit from checking out trustnbet’s NFL betting guide with odds, tips, and strategies that could help you make better wagering choices.

But there’s one more thing you must know about this prestigious award, it’s something called the MVP Super Bowl curse. 

In the 21st Century, players who win the MVP award in the regular season often lose the Super Bowl if they get there that same year. 

In 2001, Kurt Warner won the AP MVP award and went on to lose the Super Bowl. In 2002 and 2005 Rich Gannon and Shaun Alexander, respectively, swept all 4 existing MVP awards at the time and went on to lose the Super Bowl.

Even the great Tom Brady, who’s regarded by many as the greatest to have ever played this sport, fell to this curse, not once, but twice. In 2007 and 2017, he swept all the MVP awards; both times, he went on to lose the Super Bowl.

Peyton Manning is another legend who fell to the curse twice, doing so in 2009 and 2013. 

This has occurred so often that it has gone from being just a mere coincidence to feeling like an actual curse which has even affected how fans have wagered on Super Bowl games through the years.

In the 21st Century, only one player has managed to break this curse, and that was Patrick Mahomes. He was named AP and PFWA NFL MVP in 2022, and that same season, he went on to win the Super Bowl.

The player with the most AP NFL MVP awards in history is Peyton Manning who won 5 throughout his career and currently sits in the NFL Hall of Fame. 

He’s closely followed by Aaron Rodgers who has won 4 so far. Considering he is still an active football player, he can still equal or break Manning’s record, but at 41, not many fans and pundits are tipping him to do so.
