It’ll be tough to top this past weekend of football when it comes to non-stop excitement and drama. Not only were there instant classics that took place, but Caesars Sportsbook’s championship favorites in the NFL and college football both fell.

So how did this wild weekend impact Caesars Sportsbook’s futures for both NFL and college football? Well, there are new championship favorites in each, as well as a new co-favorite for NFL MVP.

The Chiefs had been atop the Super Bowl 56 futures board the entire time at Caesars Sportsbook… until after getting blown out at home to the Bills on Sunday night. Kansas City was +550 entering the weekend, and now has the third-lowest odds at +650.

The defending champion Buccaneers have taken over the top spot, shifting slightly from +600 to +550. The Bills are just ahead of the Chiefs as well, moving from +800 to +600. The Rams are also in range at +850, dropping down from 10/1 after their Thursday night triumph in Seattle.

“The Chiefs still have a good reputation, people know what they’re getting from them,” said Adam Pullen, Assistant Director of Trading for Caesars Sportsbook. “It’s not like they’ve lost to a crummy team, it’s been the Ravens, Chargers and Bills. I’d be more concerned if it was to lesser teams, but their odds are still that low for a reason. Obviously if they keep losing, more considerable adjustments will be made.”

The Packers (12/1) and undefeated Cardinals (13/1) are next, then three more teams reside at 14/1: the Browns, Cowboys and Ravens. The Chargers are right behind at 16/1 after noteworthy movement over the last week, as Los Angeles was as high as 25/1 then.

The Chargers (+120) have also overtaken the Chiefs (+125) as the favorites to win the AFC West. Kansas City was -320 chalk ahead of the season to win the division for a sixth consecutive time, whereas Los Angeles was +600. Last week, the Chiefs were still the odds-on favorite at -120 and the Chargers were as high as +375.

“At 16/1 [to win the Super Bowl], that’s still pretty enticing for the Chargers,” Pullen said. “You can make the case that they should be 5-0, probably should have beaten Dallas. They’ve definitely proven what they can do, and they’ve had a lot of tough tests. The Chargers and Cardinals, those are the two teams that have been the most impressive to me so far in terms of where I had them before the season.”

For NFL MVP futures, Josh Allen impressed at Arrowhead Stadium last night with 315 yards through the air, another 59 on the ground and four total touchdowns. The Bills gunslinger dropped from +800 to +500 after that performance, joining Kyler Murray at that price as new co-favorites. Murray did not budge from +500 after the Cardinals improved to 5-0 this campaign following a win against the 49ers.

Tom Brady (10/1 to +600), Justin Herbert (12/1 to +700) and Dak Prescott (10/1 to +700) round out the top five, while Patrick Mahomes rose from +650 to 10/1 as he is currently positioned with the sixth-lowest odds. Reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers and Matthew Stafford are at 11/1, and Lamar Jackson is at 25/1 ahead of his Monday night showdown with the Colts. Derrick Henry is the first non-QB on the board at 40/1, and he’s the final player with odds lower than 50/1.

“It’s still early, but this MVP race feels so wide open,” Pullen said. “All these guys are just putting up huge numbers every week it seems and their teams are winning. If they continue on these paces and are all getting similar numbers each week, how do you pick? It might just end up with who finishes with the best record. This definitely seems like it’s going to be a hard one to pick out.”

In the collegiate ranks, Alabama had been in the pole position for championship futures before Saturday’s upset defeat to Texas A&M. Another SEC squad is the new favorite, with Georgia going from +180 to +140. Alabama still has the second-lowest odds at +200 after being as low as +160 last week.

“Alabama is always going to get a ton of respect,” Pullen said. “So even with a loss, that’s why there isn’t a bigger gap between them and Georgia. If they run the table, they’re still in the Playoff. When I was trying to come up with the odds, it was clear there just wasn’t going to be that big of a jump since one loss doesn’t hurt them as much as other teams. When it comes to the SEC Championship Game against Georgia, it’ll be close but I think Alabama would still be favored.”

Ohio State has come down from 11/1 to +900. This is the first time that a team besides Alabama or Georgia has odds lower than 10/1 since Sept. 19, when Clemson was displayed at +900. Two other Big Ten teams saw even more noticeable shifts this weekend: Iowa dropping from 40/1 to 20/1 and Michigan swinging from 40/1 to 30/1.
