NFL analyst predicts who will take home the 2026-27 regular-season MVP award ahead of Week 10.
With Week 10 of the 2026-27 NFL season underway, clear favourites for end-of-season awards are starting to form.
Speaking of which, sports analyst Nick Wright has already made his prediction for the NFL MVP award winner, and it’s none other than Cincinnati Bengals star QB Joe Burrow.
How Joe Burrow has an easy path to NFL MVP, explains Nick Wright
Right now, the Bengals hold a 6-2 record as they will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in their Week 10 clash.
While the Steelers’ defence will test Burrow’s skills, Wright thinks after that game, the Bengals have a rather easy schedule and it will help the quarterback put up phenomenal numbers on the field.
“I think he is going to end up being the MVP this year. The numbers are outstanding. The remaining schedule is soft. After this Steelers defence, there are not a bunch of great defences on the horizon, and they can’t run the ball.
“He’s going to have plenty of opportunity to put up stats. And I’m a little skeptical about whether the Steelers’ defence is quite as good as its numbers suggest. Because we did see Burrow light up this defence in a loss, admittedly,” Wright said.
He added, “One of the losses for the Steelers this year was when they played a really good quarterback in Drake Maye. Granted, he didn’t play that well in that game.
“I don’t know if the Steelers — they traded away Joey Porter Jr. They have an excellent ability to get to the opposing quarterback. Burrow has done a better job this year than he’s done at any point in his career of not taking sacks.”
Right now, Burrow leads the league in percentage of passes completed (74.0%), passing touchdowns (23), yards gained per game (298.3), and passing rating (114.8).
Keeping these stats in mind, if Burrow manages to stay healthy for the rest of the season, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he takes home the MVP award.
