The college football regular season is over, bowl games have taken over the scene, and now, outside of the CFP semifinals, the next big topic is the 2024 NFL Draft.
And with that, all the chatter will be about the next No. 1 pick.
Caleb Williams and the USC Trojans stumbled to close the season, losing five of their last six after beginning the season 6-0.
Drake Maye and the North Carolina Tar Heels suffered a similar fate, losing four of their last six after starting off 6-0.
Still, it seems like a two-horse race between the two standout QBs as to who will go No. 1 in next year’s draft.
Williams remains the odds-on favorite like he’s been for much of the year. He was at -310 back on Oct. 23, and as of Friday, he’s at -500.
Maye, who has spent most of the year second on the oddsboard, is at +400, after being at +270 on Oct. 23.
Let’s dive into the latest odds from FanDuel Sportsbook.
