2025 NFL Draft Betting Guide: Player Odds, Props, and Expert Picks

For bettors, it’s one of the most unique and profitable opportunities on the calendar, no scoreboard required.

At Sports Interaction, you can bet on everything from the first player selected to how many offensive linemen will go in Round 1. Here’s your guide to understanding the most popular NFL Draft betting markets, what the odds mean, and where to look for value before the picks start rolling in.

Bet on the 2025 NFL Draft

NFL Draft Betting Markets Explained

1st Overall Pick

This is a moneyline bet, which means you’re simply betting on which player will be selected first overall. The odds indicate how much you need to risk (on favourites) or what you’d win (on underdogs).

For example, Cameron Ward is listed at -10000, meaning you’d need to bet $10,000 just to win $100. He’s the overwhelming favourite to be taken first.

If you’re betting on a longshot, Abdul Carter (+4000) or Travis Hunter (+5000) offer massive payouts if there’s a surprise at the top. A $100 bet on Carter at +4000 would return $4,100 if he goes No. 1.

2nd and 3rd Overall Picks

These are also moneyline bets, but focused on which player will be selected second or third overall.

Travis Hunter (-1000) is the favourite to go second, followed by Abdul Carter (+600). For the third pick, Carter is the front-runner at -650, with Hunter (+525) and Shedeur Sanders (+750) close behind.

This market is all about reading team needs, tracking rumours, and spotting last-minute shifts in mock drafts.

Over/Under Bets on Draft Totals

An over/under bet (also known as a totals bet) gives you a number, and you wager whether the final result will be higher or lower.

Quarterbacks Drafted in Round 1

• Over 2.5 QBs: -185
• Under 2.5 QBs: +140

If you bet the over, you’re wagering that three or more quarterbacks will be selected in the first round. If only two go, the under wins.

Position Group Totals in Round 1

• Defensive Linemen/EDGE: Over 8.5 (-275), Under 8.5 (+200)
• Offensive Linemen: Over 6.5 (-115), Under 6.5 (-115)
• Running Backs: Over 2.5 (+200), Under 2.5 (-275)

These numbers reflect how deep each position group is. A high over/under means oddsmakers expect a lot of players at that position to be selected.

Top 10 Finish Odds

This is a yes/no prop bet where you’re wagering whether a specific player will be taken in the first ten picks.

• Will Campbell: -10000
• Mason Graham: -3000
• Ashton Jeanty: -2000
• Jalon Walker: -650
• Armand Membou: -500
• Shedeur Sanders: -175
• Tyler Warren: -155
• Mykel Williams: +175
• Kelvin Banks Jr.: +175

The negative odds show favourites to make the Top 10. The higher the plus number, the longer the odds a player sneaks into that range.

Player Specific Bets

Team to Draft Shedeur Sanders

This is another moneyline prop bet, but this time you’re betting on which team will select a specific player. Think of it like betting on a destination.

• Browns: +200
• Steelers: +250
• Saints: +350
• Giants: +400
• Raiders: +1200
• Jets: +1600
• Rams: +1800

If you think the Steelers trade up for Sanders, +250 odds pay $250 on a $100 bet. It’s a fun market for tracking team visits and insider rumours.

Position of First Player Drafted by Team

In this prop market, you’re betting on which position a team will target with their first selection.

Take the Green Bay Packers, for example:

• Defensive Line/EDGE: +110
• Cornerback: +140
• Wide Receiver: +600
• Offensive Lineman: +1000
• Safety/Linebacker: +5000
• Tight End: +6600
• Quarterback: +30000

If you’ve done your homework on team depth charts and draft philosophy, this market can offer strong value.

First Player Drafted at Each Position

These are moneyline bets where you pick which player will be the first selected at their position.

Running Back

• Ashton Jeanty: -5000
• Omarion Hampton: +1100
• TreVeyon Henderson: +8000
• Quinshon Judkins: +10000
• Everyone else: +25000 or longer

Jeanty is a heavy favourite, meaning you’d need to wager $5,000 to win just $100. If you believe in a draft-day shock, the longshots are priced to reward bold picks.

Wide Receiver (Excluding Travis Hunter)

• Tetairoa McMillan: -200
• Matthew Golden: +135
• Emeka Egbuka: +1600
• Luther Burden III: +8000
• Others: +25000 or more

This is one of the more volatile markets, especially with teams valuing different traits like size, speed, or scheme fit.

Betting Tips for the Draft

Track line movement.
If odds shift quickly, it often reflects inside information or a late-breaking rumour.

Find correlated bets.
If you like the under on quarterbacks, that could pair with a player like Shedeur Sanders missing the Top 10.

Look at picks 6–20.
This is where things go off-script. Mid-round chaos is where longshots cash.

Study team needs.
Ignore the mock drafts. Look at who teams have signed or lost in free agency, and what positions are thin heading into the season.
