With Super Bowl LVIII putting the 2023 season into the books, now we have the offseason. From a betting perspective, future NFL odds for next season are a thing. The Detroit Lions, coming off a trip to the NFC Championship Game, are among the top favorites to win Super Bowl LIX.
Quarterback Jared Goff of course had a fine 2023 season leading the Lions to their first division title since 1993. He finished top-10 in the league in passing yards (4,575; second), touchdowns (30; fourth), completion percentage (67.3 percent seventh) and passer rating (97.9; ninth in the league).
Not that he had any chance to win league MVP, with Lamar Jackson the clear favorite and near-unanimous winner (49 of 50 first-place votes), but Goff did not get a single vote on anyone's ballot.
Jared Goff 2024 NFL MVP odds: Lions' QB being disrespected?
The Lions are in line to be one of the best teams in the league again next season, which would put Goff somewhere in the MVP conversation.

So Lions' fans in states where you can bet legally, or even if you're not a Lions' fan but you're in a state where you can make a legal bet, would you put something down on Goff at 50-to-1 to win MVP next season?
