<p>With the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/nfl/predictions/super-bowl-tips-2025">Super Bowl</a> less than a week away, the hype is well and truly building. As the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles prepare to do battle for the NFL’s ultimate prize, several different subplots have been dragged to the fore.</p> <p>Who will win?&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/sports-novelties/super-bowl-novelties/super-bowl-lix-half-time-show-8847475">What will the halftime show be like</a>? How many&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/sports-novelties/super-bowl-novelties/super-bowl-lix-taylor-swift-specials-8901764">Taylor Swift references</a> will there be? And of course, who will win the Super Bowl MVP?</p> <p>Awarded to the best on ground on Super Bowl Sunday, the Super Bowl MVP is one of the most coveted individual awards in the sport.</p> <p>It’s always a hot topic of conversation as to who will take home the prestigious award and this year is no different.</p> <p>There are a few very clear front runners, but on the big day anything can happen. Let’s unpack who is in the running for the 2025 Super Bowl MVP award.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>How is the Super Bowl MVP Chosen?</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The Super Bowl MVP is chosen based on a combination of media and fan votes. A panel of 16 different football writers and broadcasters account for 80% of the overall vote, while the fans' contribution makes up the other 20.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Who is the Most Likely MVP in the Super Bowl 2025?</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>According to the current odds, the most likely MVP in the Super Bowl 2025 is, unsurprisingly, Patrick Mahomes.</p> <p>The Chiefs Quarterback has already won three Super Bowl MVPs in his career and will look to add a legacy defining fourth come Sunday.</p> <p>Not only will his side the Chiefs be looking to become the first team in the modern era to win three Super Bowls in a row, Mahomes will be looking to become the first player to win three Super Bowl MVPs in a row.</p> <p>Naturally the two go hand in hand, with the Super Bowl MVP being awarded to a player on the winning time every single year, except one.</p> <p>Being a QB also helps, with the Super Bowl MVP going to Quarterback more often than not. Throughout history the winning signal caller has taken home this award 33 out of 58 times.</p> <p>If the Chiefs do make it three in a row on Sunday, it is more than likely that Mahomes will too.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Super Bowl LIX MVP Predictions</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Patrick Mahomes</h3> <p>As mentioned above, Patrick Mahomes is the frontrunner for the 2025 Super Bowl MVP award.</p> <p>All superlatives have nearly been exhausted when it comes to the 29-year-old playmaker. While the man he will forever be compared with, Tom Brady, has five Super Bowl MVPs, the King of New England never managed three in a row, something Mahomes can achieve on Sunday.</p> <p>If the Chiefs do win their third straight Lombardi Trophy, it bodes well for Mahomes, as there is realistically only one other player on their roster that could lay claim to this award, should he put in a monster performance. But more on that in a moment.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Saquon Barkley</h3> <p>Philly’s frontrunner for the Super Bowl MVP is surprisingly not their Quarterback. That’s right, Saquon Barkley is bringing running back.</p> <p>The Eagles running back has been, all jokes aside, running riot this season. Breaking rushing records left right and centre and scoring TDs for fun, if Philly finally do get their hands on the trophy, Barkley will be a big part of the reason why.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Jalen Hurts</h3> <p>If the Eagles win and Barkley doesn’t bag it, his partner in crime Jalen Hurts surely will.</p> <p>Philly’s superstar QB doesn’t mind a run or a TD either, and after a massive showing in the Conference Championships, he should be primed and ready for an MVP-worthy outing on Super Bowl Sunday.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Travis Kelce</h3> <p>The only other Chief who can really lay claim to the Super Bowl MVP apart from Holmes is of course Travis Kelce.</p> <p>One of the finest tight ends of his generation, Kelce was a little quiet last time out, so we expect him to come out charging here.</p> <p>With his other half, Taylor Swift, watching from the bleachers, don’t be surprised to see him drop a masterclass as he attempts to write himself into Super Bowl folklore.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Super Bowl MVP Odds 2025</h2>
