2026 NFL betting, odds: Jeremiyah Love, Fernando Mendoza favored to win Offensive Rookie of the Year
The 2026 NFL Draft is behind us, which means there is plenty of time to analyze the strength and weaknesses of each team’s draft classes, along with diagnosing which rookies will make the biggest impact on their new teams.
Sportsbooks have already released odds for the 2026-27 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, and Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love (+300 at BetMGM) is the favorite, followed by No. 1 overall pick and Las Vegas Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Carnell Tate and New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson have the next-best odds at +700, followed by the No. 32 pick, Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price, at +750. Price steps into a Seahawks backfield with Zach Charbonnet returning from injury and Kenneth Walker III gone to Kansas City in free agency.
No other player currently has single-digit odds.
Cardinals QB Carson Beck (30-1) has the next-best odds for a quarterback to win the award. Los Angeles Rams QB — and first-round pick — Ty Simpson has 66-1 odds. Pittsburgh Steelers QB Drew Allar is at 80-1; it’s still unknown if Aaron Rodgers will return to be the presumptive starter in Pittsburgh.
A wide receiver has won the award in three of the past five seasons, including Carolina Panthers WR Tet McMillan last season (70 receptions, 1,014 yards, 7 TDs).
New York Jets No. 2 overall pick David Bailey (+500) is the favorite to win Defensive Rookie of the Year, just ahead of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Rueben Bain Jr. (+550). Browns linebacker Carson Schwesinger (67 solo tackles, 2 INTs) won the award last season.
