"With just two weeks left in the NFL season, we are nearing the announcement of who will be crowned the MVP for the 2025 season. The current frontrunner and odds-on favorite continues to be Rams' QB Matthew Stafford, but Drake Maye is not far behind. It will likely come down to how they fare during the next two games, so the Patriots quarterback has a chance that not many have done before him and win the illustrious prize in just his second season."
"Given how close Maye and Stafford are in the eyes of fans and league insiders, it almost seems like an impossible decision for voters to make, which is why Knox's idea of seeing the first tie in over 20 years is appealing. The problem, though, is that the way an MVP is voted for is much different from the way it was in 2003, so the chance of a tie inevitably happening is nearly zero."
Two weeks remain in the NFL regular season with Matthew Stafford the odds-on favorite for 2025 MVP and Drake Maye closing the gap. The race likely hinges on how both quarterbacks perform in their final two games, giving Maye a realistic chance to win in his second season. Historical precedent exists for tied MVP awards—Peyton Manning and Steve McNair in 2003, and Brett Favre and Barry Sanders earlier—when voters cast single ballots. The AP adopted a ranked voting system in 2022, reducing the probability of a tie under current procedures despite the close competition.
