The CFL's Most Outstanding Player odds race is no longer controlled by Zach Collaros as Toronto Argonauts QB Chad Kelly has become the outright favorite at our best sportsbooks in Canada.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers QB Zach Collaros was long considered the favorite for the CFL's Most Outstanding Player award in 2023 but Chad Kelly of the Toronto Argonauts now stands alone as the betting favorite at our best sportsbooks in Canada.

The Bombers and Argos maintain their status as the consensus favorites by the Grey Cup odds from our best sports betting apps for this fall's championship game in Hamilton.

Read on as we look at the best CFL Most Outstanding Player odds for 2023 (odds via our best betting sites in Canada).

CFL Most Outstanding Player betting analysis

DraftKings is the only one of our best Ontario sports betting apps with odds for the CFL's Most Outstanding Player futures market coming out of Week 10 in the CFL. FanDuel likely pulled its odds offering while awaiting news on the health of Collaros after he left the Bombers' Week 10 game against the Edmonton Elks.

CFL Most Outstanding Player odds movement

The big move in the odds into Monday morning was Kelly pushing ahead as the clear favorite and is the first player all season to be offered with minus odds in this market.

Blue Bombers receiver Kenny Lawler Jr. also rose up the board with Collaros' health in question. He'll be expected to help QB Dru Brown during any time missed by the back-to-back defending winner of this award.

Chad Kelly (-225)

Kelly survived an injury scare of his own coming out of the CFL's Week 9 to pass for 417 yards and four touchdowns against the Ottawa Redblacks in Week 10. There's little reason to doubt him as the rightful favorite in this market, but these odds are far too low to warrant a wager.

Wait for news on Collaros' health or a big game from the Bombers' signal-caller to help level out the odds again.

CFL Most Outstanding Player odds 2023: Contender

Zach Collaros (+250)

I'm much more intrigued by these +250 odds for Collaros than I am in a wager on Kelly following Week 10. The odds for the top two favorites shift drastically based on game-by-game results at this point in the season. These odds will quickly drop should Collaros' absence be limited to a game or two.
