The Tennessee Titans have secured the top pick in the NFL Draft, which is why the odds on Miami quarterback Cam Ward have dived to +100.

At +100, Cam Ward appears to be a lock to be the first player chose in this April’s draft.

Still, it makes sense for draft prognosticators, and especially those who bet on the NFL Draft, to do their homework and look for value in betting lines.

What Are the Chances of Going to the NFL?

Before getting into the nuts and bolts of making NFL Draft bets, we require perspective.

Making it to the NFL is one of the most difficult accomplishments in the world.

It doesn’t happen to many football players.

In fact, most football players end their gridiron careers at the high school level.

Check out the following stats to get a real idea of how hard it is to go pro.

High School to College:
Only about 7.3% of high school football players go on to play at the NCAA level.
College to NFL:
Of those NCAA players, only about 1.6% are drafted into the NFL.
Overall Odds:
If you start as a high school football player, your overall chance of making it to the NFL is around 0.023% (about 1 in 4,300).

If you’re a high school player, even one of the best in your state, your chances of making it to the college level is less than 7.5%.

Then if you do make it to the college level, your chances of making it all the way to the NFL is even less.

So the players that offer odds to be drafted in the first round, those that are assured of making it to an NFL team, are in a rarified group.

Now that we know how difficult it is to make it to the National Football League, check out this year’s early NFL Draft betting odds as well as how to bet on the NFL Draft.

NFL Draft Pick Odds

Here are the first pick odds for the NFL Draft.

These odds can change depending on Combine performance, pre-draft trades, and coaching hires.

Miami QB Cam Ward +100
Colorado ATHL Travis Hunter +220
Penn State DE Abdul Carter +240
Colorado QB Shadeur Sanders +800
Ole Miss QB Jaxon Dart +4000
LSU OT Will Campbell +5000
Michigan DL Mason Graham +6000
Texas OL Kelvin Banks Jr. +7500
Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan +10000
Alabama QB Jalen Milroe +12000

NFL Draft Betting Lines Analysis

Based on the above betting lines, it’s apparent that at least for now NFL oddsmakers and sports bettors are all over the Miami Florida quarterback.

Quarterback has been the top pick in six of the last seven NFL Drafts

2018 QB Baker Mayfield
2019 QB Kyler Murray
2020 QB Joe Burrow
2021 QB Trevor Lawrence
2022 DE Travon Walker
2023 QB Bryce Young
2024 QB Caleb Williams

Jadyen Daniels, another quarterback, was the second pick in last year’s NFL Draft.

Daniels, Mayfield, Murray, Burrow, Lawrence, Young, and Williams are all starters in the NFL, which means not a single one of the last quarterbacks, seven if you count Jayden as a top draft pick, are busts.

Cam Ward has the experience that the Tennessee Titans require at the position.

Because of NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) payments to quarterbacks at college, many stay until their senior seasons, which is what Ward did.

He started his college career at Washington State before playing at Miami.

The man knows what he’s doing.

So the fact he’s the favorite makes sense.

Another thing to notice is NFL Draft order.

Here’s the Top 10 for April.

Tennessee Titans
Cleveland Browns
New York Giants
New England Patriots
Jacksonville Jaguars
Las Vegas Raiders
New York Jets
Carolina Panthers
New Orleans Saints
Chicago Bears

Draft order is important because it helps us handicap NFL Draft odds.

The Patriots, Jaguars, Panthers, and Bears don’t require quarterbacks.

However, the Saints, Raiders, Jets, Giants, Browns, and Titans could use a QB.

The head coach has a big say in which player goes first in the draft

But that doesn’t mean Tennessee drafts Ward or Sanders.

Instead, a team like the Saints, which is likely going to hire Philadelphia offensive coordinator Kellen Moore as their head coach, could decide to trade Derek Carr and move up in the draft to grab Ward or Sanders.

Moore coaches Jalen Hurts and both Ward and Sanders are running quarterbacks.

So Ward would be a perfect fit in New Orleans.

The Raiders, which recently hired Pete Carroll and calls Tom Brady a part owner, may also move up to get Ward.

Ward may not even go first.

There’s a lot that can happen.

So make sure to keep reading to find out how to bet the NFL Draft.

How to Bet on the NFL Draft | Let’s Start with $100

Let’s say you’ve got $100 that you want to put towards NFL Draft futures.

This is what you should do with your $100.

$75 on Cam Ward to go 1

The odds imply he’s a sure thing top pick at this point.

There’s nothing about his measurables, 6’ 2” and 223 pounds, which suggests he’ll struggle in the NFL.

Not only that but Ward had some decent rushing games even though he only averaged 3.4 yards per carry.

As far as passing is concerned, Ward threw for 4,313 yards, 39 touchdowns, and 7 picks.

The man can get it done and as I wrote above, he’s a senior.

So expect the team that drafts him to get a mature player.

$25 on Shedeur Sanders to go 1

We can double up our money at +800 on Shedeur.

Rumor has it, the Raiders are super high on Deion’s kid.

Sanders has the makings of an NFL star.

His stats are similar to Wards.

Shedeur doesn’t appear to have Ward’s rushing ability but that could be due to Colorado’s offense.

In the hands of a head coach like Kellen Moore or Pete Carroll, Sanders could end up a rushing machine.

He has the speed and moves to be a Jalen Hurts type player and only requires an offensive line to prove his rushing skills.

If the Raiders move to 1, they may draft Sanders instead of Ward.

So putting $25 on a +800 shot gives us a decent chance at a nice payout.

The $75 on Ward means that if the Miami QB goes first, we get back $150, our $75 plus $75 profit.

Going First Won’t Be the Only NFL Draft Betting Option

Going number 1 won’t be the only NFL Draft bet we can make.

Afte the Super Bowl, expect oddsmakers to set NFL betting lines on the top quarterback to go first, Ward and Sanders will be the top two choices, the top defensive player, and even the top offensive linemen.

There should also be a top 3, top 5, and possibly top 10 NFL Draft prop bet.

In these prop bets, we back a player to go in the top 3, top 5, or top 10 picks.

There may also be a mix NFL prop, something like the Titans to draft Ward first and Tennessee to make the playoffs next NFL season.

Keep checking the sportsbook for updated NFL Draft betting lines.
