*odds as of October 15, 2024
We've reached the part of the season when more rookie quarterbacks get thrust into action. Spencer Rattler took over the Saints' offense in their matchup with Tampa Bay, and after another loss, the Saints team we saw in the first two weeks of the season just feels like a distant memory.
Meanwhile, two rookie quarterbacks that have been starting since week one have their teams heading in a good direction. Even with a loss to the Ravens, Jayden Daniels and the Commanders have better odds of making the postseason than the Dallas Cowboys, who opened the season as the favorite to win the NFC East.
As for teams not starting a rookie quarterback, the New York Jets looked better in their first game without Robert Saleh, but that still wasn't enough to pick up a win over the Bills. With their loss on Monday night, the Jets went from (-170) to make the postseason before the year started to around (+160) just six weeks into the season.
Following the conclusion of week five, certain divisional races feel like they are already over, while others will be a fight until the very end. In the AFC East, many expected it to be a three-team race, but with the Jets taking their second straight loss over the weekend, they are around (+110) to make the postseason.
One divisional race that got a lot more interesting is the NFC East, as the play of the Washington Commanders and Jayden Daniels suddenly puts more pressure on Philadelphia and Dallas. Washington opened the season at (+300) to make the playoffs, but after their third straight win, they can be found at (-150) in some shops.
