draft day
Las Vegas - Before we get to all of our BEST BET draft props, gotta throw out the BEST nickname of any player on the board. The player is RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire from LSU and his nickname is, you ready, you sitting, THE FRESH PRINCE OF HELAIRE!!!
Now, c'mon down to Roger Goodell's basement and lets get ready to fatten up the bank account as the 2020 NFL Draft goes virtual. Here's a recap of my BESTIES!!!
If you're looking for angle to make some $$$$, try which pick will Tua Tagovailoa be selected with in the 1st round? He AIN'T going #1 for sure, or #2. Those spots are reserved for Joe Burrow and Chase Young. Sitting at #3, the Lions, the last ranked pass defense in the NFL, are desperate for help in the secondary, and it looks like Jeff Okudah is their guy. The N.Y. Giants at #4 do NOT need a QB after drafting Daniel Jones in the 1st round last year. We move to the Dolphins at #5 and the Chargers at #6. Miami needs an arm since Josh Rosen is kinda EH, and Ryan FitzMagic is like, what, 50 years old. Okay, only 37, but man he looks WAY older. Might be the beard. Thinking that the Fish are gonna go with a proven arm that has not suffered a boatload of injuries, so plug in Justin Herbert. The Chargers sent Philip down the River, or Rivers, where he wound up with the Colts, and as much as head coach Anthony Lynn says that Tyrod Taylor is his guy, DON'T believe him for a second. So, Double T's gonna fall in at #6 in the EckMock, and at 3/1 odds, it's a decent return. Also would take a crack at the field which is 2/1 odds, since the injury buzz surrounding Tua just keeps getting louder, and he could take a yuge tumble. And the field is every draft choice starting at #7 in the 1st round all the way down to Mr. Irrelevant.
Next up, another delicious prop, which is Over/Under on how many players each of the Power Five conferences will have in the 1st round. Of course, the SEC is a MONSTER, and the O/U for total players in the 1st round is set at a STUNNING 15.5. That's basically HALF of the picks in round #1. Under 15.5 picks is the favorite at -140, while Over 15.5 is the underdog at +$120. Think I looked at like 327 mock drafts, and most had the SEC right at the magic number of 15. So, we'll pass. Also not interested in pushing any chips in on the Big 12 or Pac 12, since both totals are spot on. However, gonna open the wallet for the Big Ten, and go Over 5.5 players taken in the 1st round. My mock, and most of the mocks we've seen have the Big Ten at 5, 6, or 7 players in the 1st round. Should be at least six, and that's an Over baby. The BEST BET on my board looks like the ACC. The O/U is 2.5, my mock says 3, and a number of others chime in at 4. Gimme Over 2.5 for the money BAABBBEEE!!!
Got some SILLY Goodell props, including will Roger wear a suit at the start of the draft. My Magic 8-Ball says, WITHOUT A DOUBT. If you wanna invest, Yes is the favorite at -$800, which means you gotta put up $800 to win back $100. Even though my Magic 8 says it's a lock, not gonna throw down $800 to get ONLY $100 back. If you think Monsieur Goodell (taking a course in introductory French) is gonna wear pajamas or sweatpants at any point of the draft, the price is WAY higher. No is the OVERWHELMING favorite and you would have to lay $5,000 to win back a stinkin' hundy. Not biting on either prop.
What about a prop for the number of 1st round draftees wearing a tie? The Over/Under is 19.5 and we're thinking Under. Also, how about the total number of 1st rounders wearing glasses? The Over/Under is 9.5, and we're going Under again. The last prop you need in your basket is, will the draft be hacked? Once again, No is a YUGE favorite at -$2400 bones, with Yes the underdog at +$800. We saw that the NFL conducted two practice rounds on Monday, and said, with the exception of one hiccup, everything went J.B. Smoove. However, you KNOW that there's one SUPER GEEK, or super hacking group out there who is gonna try and do some damage. Maybe it's the Lizard Squad, Fancy Bear, Team GhostShell, or Unit 8200, the Israeli group nicknamed, Kosher Cracking! So, at +$800, we'll dip into the wallet and throw down a Benjamin on the YES!!!
And we'll close with these five money-makers. Like total Ohio State players drafted in the 1st round Under 2.5. Like total LSU players drafted in the 1st round under 5.5. Like total Georgia players drafted in the 1st round Over 1.5. Like total Clemson players drafted in the 1st round Over 1.5. And even though this is supposed to be, and might be, the best class for wide receivers in many years, like total WRs drafted in the 1st round UNDER 5.5.
