Week 1 of the 2025 season is in the books, and the armchair quarterbacks have dissected the performance of each team every which way.

The bookmakers have also made adjustments to their NFL numbers, and some of the most interesting market moves come with first quarterback to be benched and first coach to be fired.

Included below are last week’s odds from SportsBetting.ag, and we’ve put them side by side with the current odds, which were updated Tuesday afternoon.

Russell Wilson‘s odds to be the first QB benched went from 7/1, which was tied for fourth on the initial list, to 1/2 (-200)!

Caleb Williams‘ odds went down, while the chances of Daniel Jones, J.J. McCarthy, Justin Fields, Bo Nix and Aaron Rodgers being benched first went down.

Mike McDaniel’s odds to be the first coach fired went from 2/1 to 1/4 (-400).

Zac Taylor’s odds went from 33/1 to 9/1, while Shane Steichen’s odds went the other direction.
