The Broncos rookie QB sits at +1,100 at FanDuel to win the award.
Good morning, Broncos Country!
The Bo Nix hype train is full steam ahead.
And we’re seeing the shift in the odds as well. Before the first preseason game, Nix was at +2,000 to win the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year at FanDuel Sportsbook. Now, the Denver Broncos rookie quarterback sits at +1,100.
That’s a major shift in just a few week’s time.
Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams is the favorite to win NFL OROY at +120. He’s followed by Jalen Daniels at +600 and Marvin Harrison Jr. at +650. Nix is followed by Drake May at +1,400 and Malik Nabers at +1,500.
A lot will have to go right for Nix to win the award this season. But the way he looked and played in the preseason, as well as training camp, is why Nix was named the Broncos starter. And you know that Sean Payton has the offense that will allow Nix to put up the numbers that he would need to win the award.
Some other notable odds for Denver:
Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain is +10,000 to win the Defensive Player of the Year.
Denver futures odds have shifted since before the first preseason game. At that point, the Broncos were +760 to make the playoffs. Now, Denver is +540.
