J.J. McCarthyQBMIN
J.J. McCarthy is the biggest faller in oddsmakers' QB spread value at -5.07 points ATS. The 2024 No. 10 overall pick had a rough start to his NFL career, losing his rookie season to injury and struggling mightily in 2025: 11 TDs, 12 INTs, under 182 yards passing in eight of 10 starts, and 57.6% completion percentage. One Vegas oddsmaker stated "I didn't see McCathy as being another Tom Brady coming out of Michigan, but it was tough to watch some of those throws." McCarthy was the presumed starter last year and oddsmakers had him 2.02 points ATS better than Sam Howell; now he's rated 3.05 points ATS worse than free-agent signee Kyler Murray. Another oddsmaker said "I'm not completely out on McCarthy, but I understand why they made the move."
