San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has become a favorite to win the NFL MVP Award, with his odds at DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:DKNG) currently at -200. A bettor who placed a $2,000 wager on Purdy before the season could win $200,000 if Purdy wins the MVP. The bettor rejected a $90,000 offer for the bet slip on PropSwap. The 49ers' success and Purdy's performance have led to their position as favorites to win Super Bowl LVIII. The upcoming game against the Ravens, broadcast on ABC and ESPN+ (units of The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS)), could impact Purdy's MVP odds and the bettor's potential profit.
