I'm not big into the draft or betting, but found it interesting that they list 10.5 as the over/under for Alabama draft picks this year. OSU is at 8.5, I think.
2018 NFL DRAFT ODDS & PROPS
APRIL 23, 2018 – At the NFL Draft, there are very few sure things –but when Roger Goodell steps to the podium on Thursday night, you can bet he’ll be booed loudly. But the question is, for how long? According to the odds-makers at www.SportsBettingDime.com, the over/under has been set at 45.5 seconds – comparable to the 46 seconds by Philly fans last year. You can also expect most of the 22 players in attendance to carry on the tradition and hug "The Commish" with an over/under of just 2.5 that opt-out of the traditional embrace. The odds-makers also believe Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will be visible all night, with an over/under of 9.5 on-camera appearances on ESPN during the first round and 2/1 odds that Jones finds his way on stage at “Jerry’s World” during the first round.
When is comes to the players, one of the draft’s most inspirational players might be in for a long night, as UCF’s Shaquem Griffin (1/2) is favored to be the last players left in the green room from the 22 invites. And based upon the over/under of his draft position (73.5) it might be late Friday before his dream is fulfilled.
The odds-makers seem just as unsure as the fans and experts on what will happen with the quarterbacks. The odds are 11/1 that a quarterback is not the top pick with the most likely order for the top four QB’s being; Darnold, Mayfield, Rosen, Allen (3/1), and the least likely order of the five potential options on the board being Darnold, Mayfield, Allen, Rosen (9/1). Although Lamar Jackson is not included in this group, he is the odds-on favorite at 3/2 to make the most outrageous fashion statement. Mayfield’s facial grooming options offer (2/1) for both clean shaven or 5-o’clock shadow or 5/1 for a full beard.
The power teams in the SEC and Big 10 are also expected to be well represented during the draft with Alabama (1/19) nearly guaranteed of having the most number one picks and 10.5 ‘Bama players selected overall. Georgia (8.5), Ohio State (8.5) and Penn State (7.5) are not too far behind on overall picks.
