The NFL Draft’s first round is scheduled to take place in less than four weeks (April 23) and potential wagers have begun to pop up everywhere.
Over the past few days and continuing this week we’ll look at some of the more interesting ones and of course throw in our opinions on which ones are worth a buck, or three.
Today’s wagers centers on whether certain players will be first-round selections.
Iowa DL A.J. Epenesa
Yes -250
No +175
Bet: I’m tempted to take the odds here, but Yes is probably the correct play.
Clemson CB A.J. Terrell
Yes: +110
No -150
Bet: There are a lot of good corners in this draft and Terrell looks like a good second-round pick.
Arizona State WR Brandon Aiyuk
Yes: +175
No: -250
Bet: As with Terrell above, there are a lot of good wide receivers and Aiyuk falls to the second round.
Georgia RB D’Andre Swift
Yes: +110
No: -150
Bet: What’s the name of the band that sang Roundabout? YES.
Baylor WR Denzel Mims
Yes: +110
No: -150
Bet: What’s the name of the TV station that broadcasts Yankees games? YES.
LSU S Grant Delpit
Yes: -180
No: +140
Bet: This in interesting. He was a lock. But the more scouts watch him the less they seem to like him. I’d stay away here, or take a shot on No.
TCU WR Jalen Reagor
Yes: +160
No: -225
Bet: Go big on Yes and thank me later.
TCU CB Jeff Gladney
Yes: +180
No: -270
Bet: No is the right side, but those odds are not good.
Wisconsin RB Jonathan Taylor
Yes: +175
No: -250
Bet: Yes might be worth a small wager, just because of the odds. He has a shot at the bottom of the round.
TCU DT Ross Blacklock
Yes: +120
No: -160
Bet: Another close call, but I’m leaning toward No.
Clemson WR Tee Higgins
Yes: Even
No: -140
Bet: Throw a little bit on Yes. Some teams just love big receivers.
Wisconsin LB Zack Baun
Yes: +140
No: -180
Bet: Yes should be an easy pick, because this guy is really good. Some team will figure it out before pick 32. Take Yes.
