Like a stock market wrap, the Index reveals who’s rising, who’s falling, and which teams or players are catching attention.
With Week 9 in the books, the futures market saw a power reshuffle, Josh Allen vaulted to MVP favorite status after beating Mahomes’ Chiefs, while the Bills and Rams made key pushes in the Super Bowl race.
