Okay, it’s actually happening. Cue the Michael Scott GIF. But seriously, we’re going to get a showdown between Tyreek Hill and Noah Lyles, giving us the mother of all foot races.
The star NFL wide receiver and Olympic sprinter agreed to race at some point in 2025, either in the spring or summer, and the top sportsbooks are allowing you to bet on who will win.
Both sides have talked a big game, but only one of these guys will go down as the faster athlete when it’s all said and done. They can have ultimate bragging rights, while you can cash in and turn their petty competition into a payday.
The early Tyreek Hill vs. Noah Lyles odds suggest you’ll want to bet on Hill for a massive return, but is that the right bet to take? I’ll break the Hill vs. Lyles race down, go over the top bets being offered, and point you in the right direction.
Tyreek Hill vs. Noah Lyles Race Odds
Check out the latest Tyreek Hill vs. Noah Lyles race odds:
| Prop Bet | Favorite | Prediction |
|---|---|---|
| Who Wins 100+ Yard Race | Noah Lyles (-1000) | Noah Lyles (-1000) |
| Who Wins a 61-99 Yard Race | Noah Lyles (-300) | Noah Lyles (-300) |
| Who Wins in 60 Yard Race | Noah Lyles (-130) | Tyreek Hill (-110) |
Keep in mind these aren’t regular NFL odds we’re dealing with. Tyreek Hill has been regarded as the fastest player in professional football, but this isn’t a game. Hill does have experience in sprinting, but is he on the same level as an Olympic gold medal winner?
It’s fair to say he probably is not, plus at age 30, he is inching toward being past his prime as a pure runner. In fact, judging by his 2024 production with his Miami Dolphins, one could argue his regression as an athlete has already begun.
Lyles is understandably the betting favorite across the board here. However, the value does reside with Tyreek in some of these bets. Let’s take a closer look at each wager and see which sprinter we should back.

Tyreek Hill vs. Noah Lyles Predictions
Check out our predictions for the upcoming Tyreek Hill vs. Noah Lyles race:
Who Will Win In A 100 Yards or Longer Race?
- Noah Lyles (-1000)
- Tyreek Hill (+550)
If we were doing Olympics betting with these two guys, we’d absolutely favor Noah Lyles, right? Then why should we take Hill seriously to defeat Lyles over the course of a 100-yard race?
The difference isn’t nothing, but it’s close enough. 100 yards equates to about 91 meters, meaning if this race were done in yards, it’d actually be a shorter run than what Lyles is accustomed to.
There’s not much logic to backing Hill here, as Lyles is legitimately the fastest man alive after winning gold in the 100m race at the Paris Summer Olympics. He did that in 9.784 seconds. It pales in comparison to Usain Bolt’s record (9.58 seconds), but it’s still very fast.
Hill, on the other hand, maxed out at 10.19 back in his high school sprinting days. Per Next Gen Stats, his fastest speed on an NFL field clocked in at 23.24 miles per hour. That’s fast – real fast – but not as fast as world class sprinters like Noah Lyles.
The odds are also a pretty good indicator if you want to bet on the Tyreek Hill vs. Noah Lyles race. Lyles is a massive -1000 favorite for this one. The longer the race, the more likely he’s going to edge out Hill.
I don’t mind the value with Hill at +550, but I wouldn’t throw a ton of money at it.
Bet: Noah Lyles (-1000)
Who Will Win In A 61-99 Yards Race?
- Noah Lyles (-300)
- Tyreek Hill (+200)
This race is shorter than the 100-yard race, so as you would imagine, the odds do nudge closer to Tyreek Hill. I’d be much more inclined to bet on Hill here, but the unknown range is what gives me cause for pause.
If it’s a random number that we don’t know yet, it’s just a total toss-up. If it’s well past 60 yards, however, I would still lean toward Lyles. He is an Olympics track and field star who trains year-round for 100m and 200m races, so he is literally built for longer sprints.
That isn’t to say Tyreek couldn’t shock the world in a wager like this, but without knowing the exact yardage we’re dealing with, I’d again side with Lyles. The best part? You’re still getting value with the likely winner at a cool -300.
Bet: Noah Lyles (-300)
Who Will Win In A 60 or Fewer Yards Race?
- Noah Lyles (-130)
- Tyreek Hill (-110)
The last set of Tyreek Hill vs. Noah Lyles odds are pretty even. Why? Because we’re dealing with a bet closer to a 40-yard dash; something Hill has mastered.
Hill is technically capable of possibly giving Lyles a run for his money in the first two wagers, but this is his bread and butter. Hill once ran a 4.29 40-time and even at 31 years old, he can still run with the best of them and has elite short area explosiveness.
It’s worth noting that 60 yards is longer than 40 yards, but I actually like Hill for this one. He has proven acceleration and the data doesn’t exactly make Lyles a lock to fend him off if the distance is on the shorter side.
Betting against Lyles in any capacity feels sort of wrong, but I think this is one race where he maybe shouldn’t even be favored. All things considered, Tyreek Hill is a really good value here, and I like his chances to steal the win if the race is set at 60 yards or fewer.
Bet: Tyreek Hill (-110)
