The Buffalo Bills got the best of the Kansas City Chiefs in the regular season again.

Josh Allen had arguably his best game of the season in the Week 9 victory, and while the Bills quarterback hasn’t been as impressive this season as he was last year, that could be more than enough to repeat as a major award winner.

According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Allen has overtaken Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes as the favorite to win NFL MVP.

Allen is at +200, followed by Mahomes at +300.

Drake Maye, Matthew Stafford, Baker Mayfield, Justin Herbert, Jared Goff, Daniel Jones, Jordan Love and Jonathan Taylor round out the top 10 choices.

Truth be told, there’s a strong case to be made for other players.

Bills running back James Cook could draw some consideration, as he’s arguably been the team’s most valuable offensive player.

Even so, Allen has shown what he is capable of, and this high-profile matchup was just another reminder.

Of course, the second half of the season remains, and this race can change every week.

Mahomes is turning back the clock and playing back to his MVP level again, and he’s going to have to do a lot of heavy lifting to get the Chiefs back to the playoffs.

With the way Maye and Stafford are playing for the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams, respectively, it wouldn’t be wise to count them out, either.
