2026 NFL Draft Odds: Jeremiyah Love Draft Position O/U & Related Markets

Various NFL Draft markets favor running back Jeremiyah Love being selected early Friday, and it is not hard to understand why. Over his last two seasons at Notre Dame, Love averaged 6.9 yards per carry (1,125 yards in 2024 and 1,372 in 2025) and recorded 35 touchdowns on the ground (17 and 18). He is a capable receiver and a decent pass blocker. If he goes to the right team, it is not hard to see him contributing right away.

But where will he go, and when will he be taken? Let’s examine the case for drafting Jeremiyah Love and some of the NFL Draft markets that may answer those questions and more.

Making a Case for Drafting Jeremiyah Love

Teams no longer prioritize marquee running backs unless they view one as a special player who can contribute right away. Such players are hard to find, which explains why teams seldom target them in the first round anymore. However, one player in this year’s draft class — Jeremiyah Love — stands out as analysts expect him to go not only in the first round but early (top 10 and maybe even top 5).

Love finished the 2025 season with an overall grade of 93.1 at PFF, second best among 406 halfbacks. His value in the run game is unmistakable as he gained 1,372 yards on 199 carries (6.9 yards per carry) and recorded 18 touchdowns (9th).

While he was on a great team at Notre Dame, Love still had to do a lot of the hard work on his own. He averaged 4.5 yards after contact per carry (29th) and forced 56 missed tackles (21st). So, he is as elusive as he is powerful, and he is not prone to making mistakes. Love had one fumble last season.

Many teams opt for a committee approach, tasking several players with doing/sharing the job of one. Some may do it because it’s cheaper or they don’t want to rely on a single player. Others may take this approach simply because they don’t have, or can’t find, a player who can do everything a running back is often tasked with.

But if you can acquire a player that can…

Jeremiyah Love NFL Draft Odds: Over/Under

According to DraftKings, the Over/Under for Jeremiyah Love’s draft position is:

• Over 5.5 (+275), Under 5.5 (-400)

That means he has an 80% chance of going in the top five. It also means he has a 26.67% chance of going at No. 6 or later. The odds also mean you’ll need to bet $400 on the under to win $100, but you’ll win $275 on a $100 wager if the over hits.

Out of the top five selections, the Raiders are widely expected to go with Fernando Mendoza at No. 1. The Jets and Giants are not in need of a running back, at least not to an extent they’d take one with a top-five selection. That leaves the Arizona Cardinals and Tennessee Titans.

Both teams could certainly use a running back. If you are confident one of those two teams will take him, consider taking Under 4.5 (-152)  at FanDuel. But if you think he could go No. 5, to the Giants or someone that trades up, stick with Under 5.5 at DraftKings.

NFL Draft Odds: Which Team Will Draft Jeremiyah Love?

The top five destinations according to the odds at DraftKings are:

• Tennessee Titans -105
• Arizona Cardinals +200
• New York Giants +350
• Washington Commanders +425
• Los Angeles Rams +1500

It would be surprising to see him go to the Giants with the No. 5 pick. Cam Skattebo showed a lot of promise before his season ended prematurely due to an injury. They have other, more pressing needs that can be addressed with the No. 5 pick. Washington is a popular destination in several mock drafts. If Love was to make it out of the top five, the Commanders could certainly take him. He will not be available when the Rams select at No. 13.

Arizona makes for a solid bet. But the Cardinals are expected to go with a defensive player at No. 3. Tennessee is the best choice, but you'll need to bet $105 to win $100.

Related NFL Draft Markets

Should you believe the Titans will go with Jeremiyah Love at No. 4, there are a few markets you may want to consider betting on:

• No. 4 Pick: Jeremiyah Love +110 (favorite at bet365)
• Top 5 Pick: -400 (DraftKings)

Now, if you are going to bet on a related market, betting on Love to be a top-five pick has no value. You’ll need to risk $400 just to win $100. Put that money on him to go No. 4, and you’ll win $400.

If you’re worried the Cardinals will take him at No. 3, DraftKings lists Arvell Reese as the betting favorite (+170). Love has +200 odds. For those thinking the Commanders will take him at No. 7, Carnell Tate (+225) is the favorite, with Love right behind him with +425 odds.

Jeremiah Love NFL Draft Odds: My Pick(s)

• I prefer to at least double my money when I place bets. So, I’m taking Love at +110 (bet365) to go No. 4. Tennessee appears to have its quarterback of the future in Cam Ward and needs to surround him with better weapons. If Love transitions to the NFL as expected, Tennessee will have its backfield set for years to come.
