The New Orleans Saints are now the betting favorites to draft Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders. The Saints are listed as the favorite by both DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel at +300 odds to select the star son of Deion Sanders.

The Giants have the next-best odds at +350 at both sportsbooks.

Sanders, who is widely considered to be the second-best quarterback prospect in the draft behind Miami's Cam Ward, completed 71.8% of his passes for 7,364 yards and 64 touchdowns to 13 interceptions in two seasons with the Buffaloes.

The news of Sanders becoming the odds-on favorite to be drafted by the Saints comes just days after Deion Sanders talked up the possibility of his son landing in New Orleans.

"I like the colors, I like the city, I like the food, I like the people. I like the possibilities," Deion Sanders said.

The Saints have veteran quarterback Derek Carr under center through the 2026 season, who can serve as a mentor for Sanders until he is ready if he is ultimately selected by New Orleans with the No. 9 pick.
