Heisman, Draft Markets Shift; Bills Now Favorites

College Heisman markets shifted: Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith isn’t expected to win the informal “September Heisman,” Caesars pulled its odds after John Mateer’s wrist injury and surgery were announced, and Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza has emerged as the likely short-term frontrunner if Indiana continues to win. Early-season NFL draft futures have also moved through Week 5 of the college season, with Garrett Nussmeier and LaNorris Sellers listed as co-favorites for the No. 1 pick in 2026 and Mendoza’s stock rising. A surprising Week 3 in the NFL reshaped Super Bowl futures as unexpected 3-0 starts by the Colts, Chargers and Buccaneers shortened their odds. The Buffalo Bills have moved ahead of the Baltimore Ravens as Super Bowl favorites. Ahead of Week 4 the Bills are heavy favorites over the New Orleans Saints — roughly a 12.5-point spread — though linebacker Matt Milano’s status is uncertain, and simulations project a 27-17 Buffalo win.
