Ohio State and Notre Dame are the last teams standing in the inaugural season of the 12-team College Football Playoff.

And bettors can now wager on which player will be named offensive MVP in the championship game. 

Let's dive into the odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of Jan. 15.

CFP National Championship Game 2025 Offensive MVP 

Will Howard, Ohio State: +100 (bet $10 to win $20 total)
Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State: +350 (bet $10 to win $45 total)
Riley Leonard, Notre Dame: +400 (bet $10 to win $50 total)
TreVeyon Henderson, Ohio State: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)
Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total)
Quinshon Judkins, Ohio State: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total)
Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State: +1800 (bet $10 to win $190 total)
Jadarian Price, Notre Dame: +4000 (bet $10 to win $410 total)
Jordan Faison, Notre Dame: +4000 (bet $10 to win $410 total)
Carnell Tate, Ohio State: +5000 (bet $10 to win $510 total)

At the very top of this board is Buckeyes' quarterback Will Howard, who moved to +100 from +200 over the last week. 

In Ohio State's 28-14 win over the Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl, he passed for 289 yards and one touchdown. 

Second on the board is Howard's teammate, wide receiver Jeremiah Smith. 

Like Howard, Smith's odds shortened after the Buckeyes beat Texas, shifting to +350 from +500. 

After the Buckeyes defeated Oregon in the Rose Bowl, Ducks head coach Dan Lanning praised Smith, saying, "He's NFL-ready."

Rounding out the top three is Riley Leonard. He moved to +400 from +475 once the Irish defeated Penn State in the semifinal round and punched their ticket to the championship.

Jeremiah Smith's incredible journey to Ohio State

Further down the board at +4000 are long shots Jadarian Price and Jordan Faison from Notre Dame and Carnell Tate from Ohio State at +5000.
