Super Bowl 56: Top 5 long shot odds to win Super Bowl MVP in Bengals-Rams

When it comes to the Super Bowl MVP award, the truth is every player outside of the two quarterbacks is a long shot to win it. One glance at the history of the award shows it usually goes to a QB with a smattering of other positions taking it every few years.

There are levels to what classifies as a long shot, however. Someone like wide receiver Cooper Kupp doesn’t fit the bill for the purposes of this post because, aside from having the third-best odds to win it, he’ll have no shortage of people who expect him to be in the conversation despite his position. The same can be said for several other players who don’t have odds as short as his.

Then there are the long shots who won’t come up in conversation but can impact the game at an MVP level if things break the right way. For instance, what if the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams play a defensive battle that ends in a 12-9 score where kicker Evan McPherson goes 4-for-4 on field goals including the game-winner? His +6000 odds suddenly look very appealing, don’t they?

Below is a look at those type of long shots to win MVP of Super Bowl LVI. And no, McPherson didn’t make the cut only because a kicker has never won the award. Consider him a bonus pick.
