On this episode of Saturday vs Sunday, John Barban and Jeff Dover dive into one of the hottest debates in early NFL betting — who will win Offensive Rookie of the Year for the 2025-2026 season? With FanDuel odds fresh off the press, the guys examine the top names — Ashton Jeanty, Cam Ward, and Tetairoa McMillan — and break down not just the numbers, but the context that will shape the race.Why is Jeanty, a running back, leading the odds at +270 ahead of quarterbacks like Cam Ward? It’s all about opportunity. Barban and Dover explore how Boise State’s former star landed in a system that will feature him as the lead back, with volume, game plan, and pass-catching upside all working in his favor.Next, they pivot to Cam Ward, the dual-threat quarterback expected to start right away. If he hits the ground running, it could mirror the Jalen Hurts trajectory — high statistical output and immediate media buzz. But will he have the offensive line and weapons to survive and thrive?Then there’s Tetairoa McMillan, who John is especially high on. With a strong finish to Bryce Young’s season in Carolina, McMillan could be the true WR1 that offense was missing. The guys make the case that betting on McMillan is also a bet on Young’s breakout year — and at longer odds than the favorites, the value is undeniable.Jeff also brings a dark horse pick to the table: Matthew Golden Higgins, with sky-high odds (+6000) but a sneaky-good landing spot in Houston. The guaranteed contract and slot role make him a viable candidate to explode in the second half of the season.From overlooked linemen who should win the award to rookies who’ll never get enough snaps, this episode is packed with both big-name debates and under-the-radar value picks. You’ll also hear takes on RJ Harvey, Tyler Warren, Omari Hampton, and other intriguing rookies — and whether situations like Denver or New England are even conducive to an OROY-level season.With a great mix of scouting insight, injury history, coaching fits, and betting angles, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future stars of the NFL. Whether you’re building a fantasy team, placing bets, or just keeping an eye on the next breakout star, Saturday vs Sunday has your OROY race covered.
