The Indianapolis Colts might be kicking the tires on available veteran quarterbacks, but second-year pro Jacob Eason is favored to start NFL Week 1 under center.

With Carson Wentz recovering from Monday foot surgery, Eason has been installed as the -125 favorite by SportsBetting.ag to start for the Colts in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks.

The next-shortest odds belong to Nick Foles (+300). Foles is currently third on the Chicago Bears’ depth chart but many believe a reunion with Colts coach Frank Reich is in the cards. Reich was Philadelphia’s offensive coordinator when Foles replaced an injured Wentz and led the Eagles to victory in Super Bowl LII.

Recently signed veteran Brett Hundley and rookie Sam Ehlinger are next in the market for SportsBetting.ag. The sportsbook is also offering odds on the Colts making a big splash on a number of veteran quarterbacks — or even luring Philip Rivers out of retirement.

SportsBetting.ag is also offering odds on a half dozen other quarterback competitions. The next-closest battle is in Denver, where incumbent Drew Lock is a -175 favorite to start Week 1 over offseason acquisition Teddy Bridgewater (+135).
