Overview
- DraftKings still lists Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza as the favorite at roughly -120 despite being idle in Week 13, with FOX Sports also keeping him on top at -115.
- Ohio State’s Julian Sayin remains the closest challenger after a modest outing against Rutgers (about 157 yards and two TDs), with a showcase at Michigan next before a likely Big Ten title meeting with Indiana.
- Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love jumped into near-co-favorite range after 171 yards and three touchdowns on eight carries vs. Syracuse, with his odds moving to about +650 (DraftKings) and +500 (FOX); he has backing from analysts including Todd McShay and Desmond Howard.
- Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia vaulted up the board to around +600 to +650 after accounting for six touchdowns and a school-record 484 passing yards in a win over Kentucky.
- Market reshuffling continued elsewhere as Alabama’s Ty Simpson tumbled to roughly +25000 following two interceptions against Eastern Illinois, and Texas A&M’s Marcel Reed drifted to around +1100 to +1200 after a routine win over Samford.
