OUTCOME
CONFIRMED TRUEJosh Allen won the 2024 AP NFL MVP award, edging out Lamar Jackson in a very tight race — 383 points and 27 first-place votes to Jackson's 362 points and 23 first-place votes. Acho's reasoning also held up: the Bills had traded away top receiver Stefon Diggs and Allen still led Buffalo to historic offensive production. The prediction was exactly correct in both the winner and the runner-up.
