Jeremiyah Love NFL Draft Stock Peaks with Arizona
Odds are via Kalshi and update every hour.
Arizona Sports reporter Tyler Drake and NFL Insider Benjamin Allbright have linked Love directly to the Cardinals' third overall selection, noting the running back's impressive NFL Combine performance has accelerated speculation about Arizona "zigging instead of zagging" by selecting an offensive playmaker rather than addressing glaring needs at pass rusher or offensive line. The move would pair Love with new head coach Mike LaFleur's offensive system.
Love wasn't just productive during Notre Dame's 2025 national championship run against Ohio State—he was essential to their entire offense. His combination of acceleration, lateral balance, and receiving ability made him a matchup problem on every down, generating explosive runs at one of college football's highest rates.

The prediction market volatility reflects the Cardinals' difficult decision at No. 3, with traditional logic suggesting they should address defensive or line needs. However, the 26% probability leader and strong 15% secondary option indicate traders believe Arizona could prioritize adding another weapon to complement their new offensive direction.
Multiple sources confirm Love's draft stock has risen significantly post-combine, with the Fighting Irish standout now firmly in top-10 consideration. The betting markets suggest his landing spot remains fluid, but Arizona's position at third overall puts them squarely in the mix for the explosive running back.

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).
