2026 NFL MVP Race: Prescott, Mahomes Lead Predictions

Analysts on 'First Things First' are divided on who will win the 2026 NFL MVP award. Nick Wright predicts Patrick Mahomes will bounce back from his torn ACL to claim the award, while Chris Broussard, Greg Jennings, and Kevin Wildes all favor Dak Prescott.

Prescott's impressive 2025 season—4,552 yards and 30 touchdowns—has him in strong contention, especially with the Cowboys looking to improve on their 7-9-1 record. Mahomes, meanwhile, enters the season with a talented supporting cast including new running back Kenneth Walker III and returning tight end Travis Kelce. mchezo.life
