Odds on favorite on most betting sites is now Jordyn Tyson. Wasn't the case a week ago, its trended that way all week.

He is +270 (I believe was +220 early this morning)

Next closest are:

Tate +460
Delane +460
Bain +550
Downs +950

(Tate is +250 to DC)

Will be interesting to see how the line moves today. Sharps are usually pretty wise to the draft. Surprised it didn't move more given Loomis's "risk averse" comments.

Banks wasn’t even in top 7 I think last year for odds for us.

Kellen said after the draft they were surprised he was still on the board for them, probably why

I have a feeling that would be similar to Love this year

Most mocks had Banks going in the 6-8 range.

It’s where there’s money to be made. Have to lay it down on someone unexpected to fall.

I may lay some down on Styles.

Because he had odds to go higher. He wasn't expected to slip, so the odds of him slipping were low and thus the low odds of us drafting him.

This is different than if a player expected to go in our range or lower has low odds, because then it is saying we aren't likely to take them even though they are likely to be there.

This would be like Styles falling to us. I'm sure our odds to draft him are lower, but not because we wouldn't take him.

Tyson is the pick. Underhill has been signaling it for about 2 weeks now.

Wild guess here, but I think what the Giants do will determine what the Saints do. I think the Saints have Tyson as their No. 1 target. Most think the first team that could realistically take him is NYG at 5. I don't think the Saints will want to pay the cost to move up from 8 to 4 (just ahead of NYG) to take Tyson.

However, if NYG does not take Tyson, then I could see the Saints trading with Cleveland at 6 to jump ahead of Washington to make sure they get Tyson. If NYG takes Tyson at 5, then the Saints stay put at 8

Tyson currently at +240

We really need to look about 3 hours pre draft. That is usually when the books used to traditionally stop betting because too many sharps knew the picks by then (however the online books now don't and even do live betting on the draft)

I know, I’m just saying Vegas had long odds on us picking him. Just laid some money down on Stykes in case it happens again. I’ll make 500 if he does slide to us.

Tyson is the biggest gamble of this projected players. You can't have that many question marks on a player in the top 10. I wouldn't be surprised if he drops into the mid 1st round.

PFT but it's something

Are things leaking and people placing bets on what they're hearing?

quote:

A late surge of bets has come in on Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles, who is now favored over Love to go fourth overall at some sports books.

Styles could make sense because he’s an ideal fit for the defensive scheme preferred by first-year Titans head coach Robert Saleh. As Saleh looks to rebuild the Titans, he may think a linebacker can do more for his defense than a running back could do for his offense.

At the same time, there’s also talk that Love could be off the board when the Titans pick: Love’s odds to go No. 3 overall are now second only to Arvell Reese’s odds.
