2024 NFL odds: Caleb Williams opens as Offensive Rookie of the Year favorite


The NFL draft is a week away, and bettors can wager on a host of draft markets.

And even though we’re still days away from the big night and months out from the regular season, bettors can also wager on which player will be named Offensive Rookie of the Year.

From USC’s Caleb Williams— who’ll presumably go No. 1 — to Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy — who’s been lighting up the rumor mill lately — you can officially sprinkle cash on athletes to take home top honors in their first professional season.

Let’s dive into the odds.

* odds as of 4/18/24

The prevailing thought is that after almost certainly going No. 1 to Chicago, Williams will be the Day 1 starter for the Bears, with a bevy of offensive talent at his disposal, including wide receivers DJ Moore and Keenan Allen.

“Andrew Luck is the last quarterback to go to a situation that had this much talent on the roster around him,” FOX sports host Emmanuel Acho said on a recent episode of Speak. “Caleb Williams has this much talent around him. 

“It’s not too many teams whose skill positions I would take ahead of the Chicago Bears.”

Could Caleb Williams lead the Bears to the playoffs in his rookie season?
