There's been a lot of virtual ink spilled about Josh Allen winning the 2024 NFL MVP already, because it came with such surprising and controversial fashion, with Allen losing out on First Team All-Pro to Lamar Jackson but beating out the Baltimore quarterback in the MVP voting, something that's only happened three times in NFL history .

ESPN's Dan Orlovsky picked Josh Allen for MVP but voted Lamar Jackson as a first-team All-Pro. Here's what went into his decision.

Over the course of the last month, the Polymarket whale is believed to have bet over $600,000 on Allen to win MVP as Jackson’s All-Pro nod gave him the edge. It’s not clear if the gambler had a supremely fortunate hunch, or somehow had inside information as to what the 50 AP voters collectively decided.
