We are entering the "Witching Hour" of the pro football season. NFL Rookie of the Year odds boards are showing Jayden Daniels (-1500) and Quinyon Mitchell (+100) as the betting favorites for the offensive and defensive awards, respectively. Daniels' mistake-free game against the Saints, a 20-19 Washington win, increased the likelihood that the LSU product will win OROY.

Let's take a look at the latest NFL odds for the OROY and DROY award races. Make sure to check back throughout the season as their odds fluctuate from game to game.

  • Marvin Harrison Jr. (+650)
  • Bo Nix (+1100)
  • Drake Maye (+1400)
  • Malik Nabers (+1500)

NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds favorites

Jayden Daniels (-1500)

A dual-threat force who boasts the best athleticism at the position, Jayden Daniels' potential has been on full display for the Washington Commanders.

Even though the past month saw Daniels struggle with turnovers and overall efficiency, he still holds a 101.2 passer rating entering Week 16. The Commanders quarterback has also racked up 656 yards on the ground this season.

Bo Nix (+650)

Bo Nix has made the biggest leap over the last month or so, vaulting to second on the board.

After initially struggling with accuracy and reading coverages, the Broncos quarterback has found his groove, showcasing more of the skillset that took scouts by storm during his time at Oregon. Nix is coming off his best stretch as a pro.

Brock Bowers (+1000)

Despite the Las Vegas Raiders' struggles to move the ball consistently, Brock Bowers has emerged out of the chaos as a steady option for Luke Getsy's offense.

The Raiders tight end currently has 968 receiving yards and his 90 receptions have set an all-time rookie reception record at the position. With three games remaining, Bowers is also on pace to break the single-season mark for receiving yards by a rookie at the position, set by Mike Ditka with 1,076 in 1961.

NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year odds

Here is a look at NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year odds. Quinyon Mitchell (+110) is the betting favorite.

Player Position FanDuel DraftKings bet365
Eagles Quinyon Mitchell CB +110 +100 +100
Rams Jared Verse LB +150 +140 +140
Chargers Tarheeb Still CB +800 +1400 +1400
Dolphins Chop Robinson LB +900 +900 +850
Colts Laiatu Latu DE +3300 +2500 +2500
Texans Calen Bullock S +3300 +3000 +2500
Eagles Cooper DeJean CB +3500 +3000 +3000
Rams Braden Fiske DT +5000 +1400 +2500
Texans Kamari Lassiter CB +5500 +4000 +5000
Giants Andru Phillips CB +5500 +3500 +7500

Favorites to win the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award

Quinyon Mitchell (+110)

A two-time All-MAC corner at Toledo, Quinyon Mitchell has bolstered the Philadelphia Eagles' secondary opposite of Darius Slay.

Jared Verse (+150)

A two-time first-team All-American, Jared Verse wreaked havoc in the trenches for Florida State over the last two years, collecting 18 sacks and 29.5 TFL.

Falling into the arms of the Los Angeles Rams at No. 19, the 23-year-old pass rusher has immediately addressed the noticeable hole left by the recently retired Aaron Donald. 

Chop Robinson (+900)

Rookie linebacker Chop Robinson has been the biggest riser over the last few weeks, helping the Miami Dolphins crawl back into the playoff hunt.

The Penn State star has been a key cog up front for the Dolphins.

NFL Rookie of the Year betting splits

  • With pre-Week 1 odds of +400, Laiatu Latu attracted the highest DROY betting handle at BetMGM, while Bo Nix (+900) accounted for 27% of the OROY handle and 23.3% of tickets following an impressive preseason showing for Denver. 

• Of the last 20 winners of the NFL OROY Award, 17 were drafted in the first round.

• While quarterback is an extremely difficult position to excel at as a rookie, 10 of the last 20 OROY winners played the position, including four QBs that were selected first overall in the draft.

• Running backs have won four of the last 10 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Awards. However, in recent years when top rookie RBs have gone head-to-head against top QBs for OROY honors, they've often come out on the losing end. Ezekiel Elliot led the NFL in rushing in 2016 but lost the OROY to his teammate Dak Prescott, while Kyler Murray took home the hardware over Josh Jacobs in 2019.

• No offensive lineman has ever won the award despite recent linemen like Joe Thomas, Matt Kalil, Jack Conklin, Ryan Ramcyzk and Quenton Nelson all making the Pro Bowl in their first year.

Tight end 1

Bears legend Mike Ditka became the first — and so far only — tight end to win Offensive Rookie of the Year when he received the honor in 1961.

NFL Defensive ROY betting trends

• Of the last 34 winners of the NFL DROY Award, an incredible 31 were drafted in the first round. Of the three winners that weren't first-rounders (DeMeco Ryans, Kendrell Bell, and Darius Leonard), all were still selected within the Top-40 picks.

• Seven of the last 18 DROY winners played linebacker. Two others (Von Miller and Shawne Merriman) were listed at LB but would count as edge players in modern NFL defensive schemes. That said, that number is heavily inflated by four straight DROY-winning linebackers from 2006 to 2009. Over the last 10 years, only two LBs have taken home the award. 

• Four of the last eight DROY winners played college ball for Ohio State. Three of those (the Bosa brothers and Chase Young) were edge rushers.
