By Ryan Sharp | Last updated 11/17/22

Tua Tagovailoa, NFL MVP?

Multiple media members have put him in the hunt for the award. Now Vegas is giving Tagovailoa attention.

OddsChecker lists Tagovailoa with the second-best odds to win MVP, with odds ranging from +400 to +500.

The favorite remains Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes at +125, with Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts third at +500.

Other sportsbooks list Tagovailoa with odds as low as +350, a big jump from the preseason, when he opened at +15,000 to win MVP.

After throwing from 285 yards and three touchdowns against the Browns in Week 10, he won FedEx Air Player of the Week for the third consecutive week and fourth time this season.

In those three games, he has thrown for 969 yards and nine touchdowns, both league highs. He has not thrown an interception in four straight games, all Miami wins.

Tagovailoa has thrown for 2,265 yards and 18 touchdowns with only three interceptions in eight games. He leads the league with a passer rating of 118.1.

Tagovailoa is not the only Dolphin in contention for major awards. Wide receiver Tyreek Hill — who leads the NFL with 81 receptions and 1,148 yards — is +350 to win Offensive Player of the Year.

Additionally, Mike McDaniel has the third-best odds to win Coach of the Year at +750.

The Dolphins are first in the AFC East with a 7-3 record, and hold the second seed in the AFC playoff standings. All seven of those wins have come when Tagovailoa starts and finishes the game.

After the bye this week, Miami will host the Texans on Nov. 27.
