Forest's 100% start to the Championship season has seen them shorten in price with the bookmakers to as little as 6/1 to win the division.
Billy Davies has been keen to play down the significance of early results but if his side can remain unbeaten going into the international break it will have laid a solid early foundation for a promotion push.
Come the end of the break and Davies is likely to have strengthened his squad yet again before the transfer deadline while also allowing some of his fringe players to leave the City Ground.
Latest to be linked with moves inward are Bakary Sako of Wolves and West Brom defender Gabriel Tamas.
