Nowadays a bet can be placed on basically anything and that includes putting money down on what player will be taken as the top overall pick in the NFL Draft.
Betting website SBR Sports Picks put out odds on what player will be taken first, and Wyoming’s Josh Allen is given the best odds.
Using those +120 odds, one would have to place a $100 bet on that outcome and it would pay out $120 in profits.
Allen is already considered a first-round pick by nearly every mock draft and ESPN’s Mel Kiper has him as his top pick. It also should not be a shock that the top three odds are placed on quarterbacks, including Sam Darnold who is tied with Allen for the top pick.
Allen did back up his status with a very good Senior Bowl game in which he threw a pair of touchdowns and was named North team MVP.
