2025 NFL Odds: Travis Hunter Named Starting WR, Second-String CB
Hunter, a wide receiver and cornerback in college, was drafted by Jacksonville after one year at Jackson State and two seasons at Colorado.
Since arriving in Jacksonville, new head coach Liam Coen has had Hunter practicing at both positions, and on Jacksonville's first unofficial depth chart, he's listed as a starting wide receiver and a second-string cornerback.
That suggests most of his snaps — at least early on — will come on offense, catching passes from Trevor Lawrence.
Let's check out some of the Travis Hunter odds at FanDuel Sportsbook as of Aug. 5.
Travis Hunter to record 1000+ regular-season receiving yards: +230 (bet $10 to win $33 total)
Travis Hunter to record 75+ regular-season receptions & record 2+ regular-season interceptions: +250 (bet $10 to win $35 total)
Travis Hunter to score 10+ touchdowns (combined offensive and defensive touchdowns: +700 (bet $10 to win $80 total)
Travis Hunter to record 5+ regular-season offensive touchdowns & 1+ regular-season defensive: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)
Travis Hunter to score 1+ touchdown & record 1+ interception in season debut: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total)
Travis Hunter to record 750+ regular-season yards & record 5+ regular-season interceptions: +1700 (bet $10 to win $180 total)
Although Hunter has yet to take an NFL snap, he played a remarkable 2,625 snaps in college and became the most decorated player in Colorado football history.
During his time with the Buffaloes, he recorded 153 receptions for 1,979 yards and 20 touchdowns, and added a rushing touchdown.
Defensively, Hunter was equally impressive.
He logged 66 tackles (including 47 solo and three for loss), along with seven interceptions for 55 yards. Additionally, he had 16 pass breakups and one forced fumble over his two seasons in Boulder.
Hunter's milestones earned him numerous awards, including the Heisman Trophy, AP College Football Player of the Year, Walter Camp Award, Chuck Bednarik Award, Fred Biletnikoff Award and Lott Trophy, and he was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year.

Guerrero and Blue Jays rout Rockies 20-1 to cap Coors Field barrage
DENVER (AP) — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had four hits, including a home run, and Davis Schneider went deep twice as the Toronto Blue Jays capped their Coors Field onslaught Wednesday with a 20-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies. The first-place Blue Jays finished with five homers and 24 hits to set a major league record with 63 hits in a three-game series. They established a franchise mark with 45 runs in the three-game set. Bo Bichette and Ernie Clement also homered for the AL East leaders, who outscored the Rockies 45-6 in the series and are 26-11 since June 25. Toronto hit 13 home runs in the series. Ty France had four doubles and Clement added four hits. Bichette and Schneider had four RBIs apiece. Guerrero extended his on-base streak to 23 games, the longest current streak in the American League. Toronto scored its final eight runs in the ninth inning off Colorado catcher Austin Nola, who gave up eight hits — including homers by Schneider and Clement. Kevin Gausman (8-8) allowed one run and three hits in seven innings. He struck out six and walked two. Bichette hit a three-run homer off Kyle Freeland (2-12) in the third for a 3-1 lead. Nathan Lukes had a two-run triple in the fifth and Schneider homered off Angel Chivilli to begin a five-run sixth. Guerrero connected in the eighth. Bichette and Daulton Varsho, who did not play Wednesday, both had three homers in the series. Guerrero went 8 for 17 with two homers and four RBIs. Bichette was 7 for 17 with 10 RBIs, and Lukes was 6 for 13 with six RBIs. Key moment Bichette's homer to center field with two outs in the third opened the floodgates. Key stat Toronto scored at least 10 runs in each game of the series. Up next Blue Jays: RHP Max Scherzer (2-1, 4.39 ERA) faces Dodgers LHP Clayton Kershaw (5-2, 3.29) in a meeting of likely Hall of Famers on Friday in Los Angeles. Rockies: LHP Austin Gomber (0-5, 6.18 ERA) opposes Arizona RHP Zac Gallen (8-12, 5.48) on Friday in Phoenix. ___ AP MLB:

One woman in Denver Public Schools paving the way for girls in sports
Female leadership in school sports has been on the decline in recent years, according to Beth Hulac, a Denver Public Schools Athletics Operations Manager. She is determined to reverse that trend through new events. A Colorado native and DPS alum, Hulac says her love for sports began with soccer in childhood and carried through college. But more than competition, sports gave her something deeper. "Sports for me is what saved me from spending too much time thinking about how I looked and allowed me to change my focus into how powerful and strong my body could be," Hulac said. Now overseeing multiple athletic programs for DPS, she's on a mission to help young girls feel that same sense of empowerment. "Perfection is never my goal," she said. "But I hope that publicly struggling... really shows girls that leadership is attainable and that you don't have to be perfect at something to strive for it." Two-and-a-half years ago, she launched the Women in Sports Leadership program. It is designed to uplift and support female athletes and aspiring leaders. It includes a districtwide Female Athlete Summit that's focused on confidence-building, mentorship and connection. "I think we've seen a decline even in female athletes participating in sports... I hope that part of my work inspires girls to feel connected enough to participate," she said. Hulac says middle school is a critical time to introduce girls to sports -- especially with new sports like flag football. "Middle school is still an age where kids can try sports for the first time," she said. "I'm really excited to increase those opportunities for Denver Public Schools kids." Through her leadership, Hulac hopes to inspire a new generation of female athletes not just to play, but to lead. On Saturday, Aug. 16 CBS Colorado is proud to bring you the 2nd Annual Girls in the Game, a free in-person event that will be held at the University of Denver's Hamilton Gymnasium to encourage and inspire girls to consider a career in sports. The event is being led by CBS Colorado Sports Anchor, Romi Bean and is designed to encourage, inspire, and empower girls to consider a career in sports on and off the field. That includes careers in sports journalism, sports marketing, coaching, strength training, operations, sports medicine and much more.
