NFL Draft Betting Show

4/24/2024
In this NFL Draft Betting Preview, Jen Jones, Eric Doran, Stefan Lako and Travis of the College to Canton podcast discuss their favorite ways to bet on the draft. They mention that historically, the average number of quarterbacks drafted in the first round is just under three, but this year there is a lot of buzz about potentially four quarterbacks going in the top 10 picks. They also discuss the trends for other positions, such as running backs (projected at 0.5 this year), wide receivers (historically just over four in the first round), and offensive linemen (expected to be around 9.5 this year). Travis shares his strategy of betting on overs for draft capital, assuming the worst for players and targeting positions that are shaded towards the under by sportsbooks. Stefan agrees and emphasizes the importance of taking a long-term view of players' value rather than getting caught up in the hype. In this conversation, Stefan Lako and Travis May discuss their favorite bets for the upcoming NFL Draft. They cover a range of topics, including over/under lines for specific players, player matchups, and the first player taken at each position. They also share their thoughts on potential draft destinations for certain players and discuss the value of different betting options.
