Author: Priyanka Saxena on Aug 05,2020

When talking about the NFL, there is no bigger star than Patrick Mahomes. He is a massive part of the NFL. He is the youngest player to win the league and Super Bowl MVP. He accomplished this feat before turning 25. After this feat, he rocketed up the pay-scale charts, and currently, he is the highest-paid quarterback after he penned a ten-year extension worth more than $500 Million with the Kansas City Chiefs.

He has already put his newfound wealth to quick purpose: buying a stake in the MLB Kansas City Royals Ownership Group. He is the youngest sports owner of any franchise ever. His accomplishments in his two seasons as a starter has already put him in elite company. He has accomplished more at the age of 24 than most people do in a lifetime. He has earned the respect of the city, and its community.

The instant Patrick Mahomes took to the field, a player was born, and a revolution unfolded at the quarterback position. Expectations will be high once again as he comes off the 2019 season with a Super Bowl victory. With the 2020 season just a few days away, it's time to take a look at Patrick Mahomes and what he can do for the bettors. Here are the top 5 NFL prop bets featuring the man, Patrick Mahomes.

Patrick Mahomes MVP

He has two MVP honors in the first two seasons as a starter. Naturally, he is again tipped as the favorite to win a third MVP honor in 2020. Betting companies price Mahomes at +450 in the betting market. His closest rival to the MVP award is none other than current MVP Lamar Jackson. However, he is trading at a reasonable distance off at +725, almost at the double the odds.

The next best bets are Dak Prescott, Russell Wilson, and Tom Brady, all priced at +1200. These are some top bets as well.

Offensive Player of the Year

Betting companies are favoring Patrick Mahomes at +650 to win Offensive Player of the Year.

Once again, there is competition from Jackson. He is the second-best bet at +600. The three next stakes are Russell Wilson(+1200), Christian McCaffrey, and Saquon Barkley at +1400 and Michael Thomas(+1600).

Most Passing Yards

Patrick Mahomes cracked 5000 passing yards and the 50 TD mark in 2018, and in his second season, he went for 4.031 yards and 26 TDs in 14 games. He is just shy of 10,000 passing yards in only two seasons, and it's not a surprise for anyone that he is fronting the most passing yards market as well. He is tipped at +400. Many bettors are keeping a close eye on him as well.

The record holder for passing yards is Drew Brees, who surpassed Peyton Manning last season. It is expected that his record will increase in the future, keeping in mind his excellent performance against top teams. The second best bet after Mahomes is Brees, and he is priced at +750. Matt Ryan, Tom Brady, Dak Prescott, and Aaron Rodgers complete the Top 5.

Passing TDs, Over/Under Betting

Betting companies are offering additional prop bets on Patrick Mahomes concerning his total TD tally. They project him on 36.5 TDs with OVER favoring at -170, and UNDER favored at +130. Given his footballing IQ and arm strength, the OVER is tempting. Last season he played in 14 games and achieved 26 TDs while grossing over 4000 passing yards, which is remarkable.

Passing Yards, Over/Under Betting

Betting companies are also presenting NFL bettors with an opportunity to bet on the total passing yards he misses this season. Setting the bar at 4699.5 passing yards, OVER and UNDER are both priced at -115. He missed two games due to ankle and knee injury last season, and still, he cracked 4000 passing yards. If he stays fit for the whole season, then he can surely break the 4699.5 marks.

In Summary

There is no question that Patrick Mahomes is a massive draw for the NFL, and he is a fan-favorite among the Kansas City fans. He is liked by neutrals as well. What he has accomplished in his short career is nothing but spectacular, and he is still not done. For him, the sky's the limit.
