Georgia's Monroe Freeling and Christen Miller have emerged as legitimate top-10 prospects for the 2026 NFL Draft, with prediction markets on Kalshi showing dramatic shifts following last week's NFL Combine performances. Several markets are pricing different top-10 scenarios between 89% and 99% probability, indicating near-certainty that both Georgia players will hear their names called early.

The most active betting interest centers on Freeling's offensive line prospects, with one market showing $0.89 (89% chance) on over 7,100 contracts traded. Meanwhile, Miller's defensive tackle projection sits at $0.99 (99% chance) in the highest-confidence market, though with lighter volume at just 85 contracts. The wide bid-ask spreads in some markets—ranging from $0.98 to $1.00—suggest traders are still digesting combine results.

Now, Freeling has overtaken Utah's Spencer Fano as a projected top-10 offensive linemen despite the former being a mainstay all season long.

You can trade on the 2026 NFL Draft and other sporting events, as well as thousands of additional markets, at Kalshi, which is available in most states. We wrote a full explainer on how it works here, and have a Kalshi promo code ready if you want to get in on the action.

2026 NFL Draft Odds: Top 10 Picks

Odds are via Kalshi and update every hour.

Freeling's meteoric rise follows a dominant showing at the NFL Combine, where the Georgia offensive lineman skyrocketed up boards into the mix for as high as Cleveland at No. 6 overall. His combination of size, athleticism, and technique has NFL evaluators comparing him to recent first-round offensive line selections. The prediction market activity reflects this surge, with over 5,400 contracts in open interest across multiple Freeling-related propositions.

I think Freeling would be a bold but understandable choice for a tackle-needy team. He reminds me of Tristan Wirfs a bit, needing refinement but boasting an elite frame and tool set to become a tremendous starter in two years. The downside could be significant because his mistakes will look worse than some of his more refined and experienced peers, but aiming for an average or slightly above starter isn't the goal.

Miller's decision to forgo his final year of eligibility and enter the draft has created immediate betting interest in his top-10 chances. Another massive trench talent set to benefit from the NFL's continued realization that the big boys are swinging Super Bowl races. Much like Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis before him, Miller is a three-down talent who should be viewed as a foundational piece.

The market pricing suggests both players have separated themselves from the pack following combine workouts. With total volume exceeding 50,000 contracts across all related markets, institutional and retail bettors appear convinced that Georgia's defensive and offensive line talent will dominate the early portion of April's draft in Las Vegas.

What is Kalshi?

Different than a traditional sportsbook and available in most states, Kalshi allows users to make predictions across several unique markets, including sports, entertainment, elections, and even weather.

Kalshi operates on a contract-based system where users buy "contracts" (priced between 1–99 cents) based on whether they believe a specific event will happen. The price of each contract fluctuates in real time based on market sentiment, and like the stock market, traders can sell positions early to lock in profits (or minimize losses).
