Don't rule out brakes so fast. I'd say that is 90% your most likely answer.

Jack up that corner of the car and see if you can wobble the wheel, that would mean bearing (no wobble does not mean not bearing, though).l

You can tell by the smell if you're used to burnt brakes... spending time on a big race track gets you used to that smell.
