The Chiefs’ second-year quarterback has better odds to win the Most Valuable Player Award than any other player in the league.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes opened up the season with 33-to-1 odds to win the NFL MVP award with 15 players ahead of him, according to Bovada.

Times have changed.

After the Chiefs’ Week 2 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mahomes’ odds improved to 12 to 1, or fourth best, only behind Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers.

And now after the Week 3 win over the 49ers and his 13-touchdown, zero-interception start to the 2018 season, Mahomes is the odds-on favorite to win the award at the end of the season.

Here are the top 10 odds listed as of this writing:

Mahomes 3/1

Drew Brees 11/2

Aaron Rodgers 6/1

Tom Brady 9/1

Jared Goff 14/1

Todd Gurley 14/1

Alvin Kamara 16/1

Cam Newton 18/1

Ben Roethlisberger 20/1

Matt Ryan, Carson Wentz 22/1
