The NFL regular season kicks off three weeks from tonight – yes, an unusual Wednesday Kickoff Game – and we are getting more and more information on futures odds at the best betting apps now that there has been good action. So today, thanks to DraftKings Sportsbook, let's look at the odds on which quarterback leads the league in interceptions thrown. Really, it's the only individual prop annually that you don't want your favorite QB to win.
Wager on the NFL with the latest FanDuel promo code and get up to $1,000 in bet resets when you bet $5 for 5 days: So, yeah, I'll be pretty peeved if Chicago's Caleb Williams does, because that means the former No. 1 overall pick and Heisman winner took a step back in Year 2 under Coach Ben Johnson. Priced at +1600, DK is fairly exposed on him with third-most handle and third-most tickets sold on this prop – that book doesn't give percentages. Fans can stay up to date on our NFL news page, and bettors can also find picks from the SportsLine Projection Model and our experts during the 2026 NFL season.
I'm pretty confident Williams will not lead in that category after throwing only seven picks last year and six as a rookie. His 1.2% career interception rate is the lowest in NFL history for a quarterback with at least 1,000 pass attempts. I'd still prefer him to Drake Maye, so the Patriots can pound sand.
If recent history is any indication, the 2026 INT leader will likely throw between 15 and 17 picks. That has been the case every season this decade, other than in 2023 when Sam Howell threw 21 for Washington. That was an outlier, though, as Howell was thrown into the fire on a bad team after barely playing in 2022 as a fifth-round rookie.
He's now third-string in Dallas and probably never starts another NFL game that matters. While last year the Raiders' Geno Smith led alone with 17 interceptions, there are somewhat frequently ties for the lead – in 2024, Kirk Cousins and Baker Mayfield topped the NFL with 16 each. There were also ties in 2022 (Davis Mills and Dak Prescott), 2021 (Trevor Lawrence and Matthew Staffford) and in 2020 (Drew Lock and Carson Wentz).
You will want to check with your sportsbook, but it's pretty standard that if there were a tie that Dead Heat Rules apply. That simply means your wager is divided by the number of tied players and that's how it is paid out. I was rather curious when the last three-way tie was, because obviously that drains your bet even more, and it was in 2007.
