2024 NFL odds: Caleb Williams opens as Offensive Rookie of the Year favorite
The NFL Draft is in the books, and bettors are already diving into wagering on next season’s awards.
One spot in particular that is seeing some action is the market for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
As projected, Caleb Williams was drafted first by the Chicago Bears. The quarterback out of USC saw his No. 1 pick odds get shorter and shorter leading up to the draft. Now, he’s also the favorite to win Offensive Rookie of the Year honors next season.
Let’s dive into the odds for some of the names at the top of the board (via FanDuel Sportsbook).

* odds as of 4/29/24
At +210, Caleb Williams currently has the shortest odds to be named Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2025, just ahead of former Ohio State star Marvin Harrison Jr., the son of the Hall of Famer by the same name.
On a recent episode of The Herd, FOX Sports host Colin Cowherd gave his prediction on how Williams’ rookie season might unfold.
“I think Caleb’s gonna be 24 touchdowns, eight picks, 90 passer rating,” Cowherd noted. “Spectacular, little rough. And [the Bears] finish 8-9.”
A little further down the list at +2500 is Rome Odunze — Williams’ new teammate in Chicago, who was drafted by the Bears with the ninth pick. Ahead of the draft, Caleb posted on social media that he was a “big fan” of the wide receiver.
Other familiar names on this list are former Oregon quarterback Bo Nix at +2800 and former Georgia tight end Brock Bowers at +4000.Â
Both Nix and Bowers heard their names called on Day 1 of the NFL Draft. They were the 12th and 13th picks by Denver and Las Vegas, respectively.
