There was no surprise when Jayden Daniels was crowned the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year after closing the regular season as the heavy betting favorite by the OROY odds.

Daniels, the No. 2 pick from last year's NFL draft, entered his rookie season with +500 odds to win this award. He started shortening those odds rather quickly, and that trend continued for the majority of the season as he powered the Washington Commanders to the postseason.

The 2025-26 NFL Offensive Player of the Year odds will be released shortly after the 2025 NFL Draft (April 24-26).

Closing NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds from our best NFL betting sites.

Daniels' odds shortened from -10000 to -20000 following the final week of the regular season
Bowers' odds moved from +3000 to +2200 after breaking three records in Week 17, but he reverted back to around +2500 to close out
The best odds for Bo Nix were down to +6000 after Week 17, but then he went back to +10000
There was wide chasm after Nix, with Bucky Irving of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the next closest at +30000, which is why some of our best sportsbooks removed this market even before the conclusion of the regular season

Jayden Daniels Offensive Rookie of the Year odds (-20000)

The Washington Commanders pulled Daniels at halftime of their eventual Week 18 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

They trailed at the time and had the chance to improve their playoff seeding. But the move was surely done out of an abundance of caution as Daniels dealt with seemingly minor leg soreness, and with Washington having already clinched a playoff spot.

The conclusion to Daniels' rookie season may have been anticlimactic then, but the rest was very much the opposite. He put an exclamation mark on his surely award-winning campaign with 127 rushing yards during an overtime win against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 17.

How to bet on NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year

When betting on NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds, find a reputable sportsbook that offers futures bets for this award.

Check out the odds for different players; for example, if Jayden Daniels is at -400 and Caleb Williams is at +950, Daniels is favored to win.

Decide how much you want to wager and place your bet. If you bet $100 on Daniels at -400 and he wins, you’ll get $125 back ($25 profit + $100 stake). Keep an eye on how the rookies perform throughout the season to see how your bet is shaping up.

But remember with odds movement in future markets it's all about performance and perception. If a rookie has a standout game, their odds will improve. Conversely, if they underperform or get injured, their odds will worsen.

Team success can also influence a player's odds; rookies on winning teams might see better odds. Public betting trends are important too - if a lot of people are betting on one player, sportsbooks might adjust the odds to manage their risk.

Expert analysis and predictions also play a role as they can sway public opinion and betting patterns. Understanding these factors can help you make smarter bets and potentially catch favorable odds shifts.

How to read NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds

Reading NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds is straightforward. Odds are usually presented in a format like +500 or -200. Positive odds (e.g., +500) show how much profit you’d make on a $100 bet.

For example, a $100 bet at +500 odds would win you $500, plus your original $100 stake, totaling $600. Negative odds (e.g., -200) indicate how much you need to bet to win $100. So, a $200 bet at -200 odds would win you $100, plus your $200 stake, totaling $300.

These odds also reflect the implied probability of a player winning the award. Lower odds (e.g., +200) suggest a higher likelihood of winning, while higher odds (e.g., +1000) indicate a lower likelihood. Sportsbooks adjust these odds based on factors like player performance, injuries, team success, and betting patterns.

For example, if Jayden Daniels has -400 odds and Caleb Williams has +950 odds, Daniels is considered more likely to win. If you bet $100 on Daniels and he wins, you’d get $125 back ($25 profit + $100 stake). Meanwhile, a winning $100 bet on Williams would return $1,050 in total ($950 profit + $100 stake).

Understanding these odds helps you make informed betting decisions and assess potential returns.
