2025 NFL Draft Odds
Shedeur Sanders Show
UPDATE 2:15 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Shedeur Sanders is finally off the board. The Cleveland Browns took the Colorado quarterback with the sixth pick in the fifth round, 144th overall.
On Thursday afternoon, prior to Round 1, BetMGM had the Pittsburgh Steelers -145 favorites to take Sanders, followed by Cleveland at +220. So those holding Sanders-to-the-Browns tickets can now cash out.
On Friday afternoon, ESPNBET had the Browns -180 favorites to draft Sanders. But by the time Friday evening's second around arrived, the Las Vegas Raiders were -165 favorites.
This morning, DraftKings Sportsbook's updated NFL Draft odds on team to draft Sanders didn't have Cleveland among the top 12 options.
UPDATE 11:45 A.M. ET SATURDAY: Shortly before the fourth round begins, DraftKings Sportsbook has updated odds on which team selects Shedeur Sanders. The Pittsburgh Steelers are the +190 favorite, followed by the Las Vegas Raiders at +350.
Then it's the New York Jets, Los Angeles Rams and Dallas Cowboys, all at +650.
UPDATE 11:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Shockingly, Shedeur Sanders was not drafted in the second or third rounds tonight. So at best, the Colorado QB will be a fourth-round draft pick Saturday.
It's easily the biggest upset in NFL odds.
"It's shocking that he's dropped this far. He was the favorite to go No. 1 overall at points during the college football season," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.
As recently as Monday, Sanders was the +180 favorite to No. 9 overall, a pick held by the New Orleans Saints. Now, 102 picks have elapsed, and Sanders still doesn't have a home.
BetMGM took most of its NFL Draft prop bets off the board once Round 1 began Thursday. But at least one Sanders prop remains to be decided.
"We're still waiting on the team to draft him. The Steelers were the favorite, but it doesn't look like they will," Cipollini said.
UPDATE 9:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: The second round just ended. And Shedeur Sanders is still on the board, in a massive upset. This morning, at least one sportsbook – of unknown identity – offered a prop of Sanders not getting drafted in Round 2 at +10000 (100/1).
So anybody who got that just cashed out nicely. In the meantime, everyone waits to see where the dust settles on the NFL Draft prop bet of which team selects Sanders.
UPDATE 5:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Odds on where Shedeur Sanders lands have shifted quite a bit in the past few hours. Late last night, Cleveland became the favorite, since there seemed to be interest and the Browns hold the first and fourth picks in Round 2.
Early this afternoon, ESPNBET still had the Browns -180 favorites on the NFL Draft odds board. But since then, the Las Vegas Raiders have become -165 favorites to nab Sanders, with Cleveland now +200, followed by the Pittsburgh Steelers at +300.
At DraftKings, it's Raiders -185/Steelers +225/Browns +275. Round 2 begins at 7 p.m. ET.
UPDATE 1 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Stunningly, Shedeur Sanders was not drafted in Thursday night's Round 1. Miami quarterback Cam Ward went No. 1 overall, as expected, and then came the unexpected of Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart going to the New York Giants at No. 25.
So with Rounds 2 and 3 on tap tonight, Sanders is still available. But he won't be for long, if oddsmakers have it right.
At ESPNBET, the Cleveland Browns are -180 favorites on the NFL Draft prop bet of which team takes Sanders. The Browns hold the first and fourth picks of the second round, Nos. 33 and 36 overall.
The Las Vegas Raiders are the +350 second choice to get Sanders. Vegas has the fifth pick of the second round. Then comes New Orleans at +500, with the Saints holding eighth pick of the second round.
It'll likely be one of those three teams, unless of course there's a trade tonight. Which is always possible.
UPDATE 5:45 P.M. ET THURSDAY: Shedeur Sanders now isn't even expected to be the second quarterback drafted tonight. Miami's Cam Ward seems a lead-pipe cinch to go No. 1 overall.
But at DraftKings Sportsbook, on the prop of second QB drafted, Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart is the -230 favorite. Sanders is the +175 second choice.
And at FanDuel Sportsbook, on the prop of players to be taken in the top 10, Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart is +250, while Sanders is +430.
UPDATE 2 P.M. ET THURSDAY: A few hours before showtime, it still looks very much as if Shedeur Sanders won't be a top-10 pick. Pittsburgh, with the 21st pick, is BetMGM's -145 favorite to select the Colorado quarterback. Cleveland follows as a possible destination, at +220.
Interestingly, in a factor attributed to this market being up for months, Sanders still leads in tickets and money to be the No. 2 overall pick and the No. 3 overall pick at BetMGM. And he's taken the most money to be the No. 4 overall pick.
Yet Sanders might not even go in the top 20. On Wednesday afternoon, ESPNBET moved its Over/Under on Sanders from 8.5 all the way to 21.5. Currently, Under 21.5 is a -175 favorite and Over a +130 underdog.
DraftKings Sportsbook moved Sanders' Over/Under from 8.5 to 14.5, with Over a healthy -450 chalk and Under +320.
And FanDuel Sportsbook Shedeur Free Fall prop continues to move. Tuesday morning, Sanders was -225 to be drafted 15th overall or later. By Tuesday night, the price was -310, and it's now double that at -620.
UPDATE NOON ET WEDNESDAY: The ground shifted significantly on Sanders over the past 24 hours. A week ago, BetMGM had the Colorado QB as the +150 favorite to be drafted No. 9 overall. On Monday, he was still the +180 favorite.
Tonight, he's out to the +500 second choice to be drafted ninth, behind new favorite Mykel Williams, a defensive end out of Georgia. And other sportsbooks have moved Sanders even further out:
- FanDuel has Sanders the +700 fifth choice to go No. 9 overall
- DraftKings has Sanders +1200, the eighth choice to go No. 9 overall
Further, Monday morning, BetMGM had the New Orleans Saints – who hold that ninth pick – as -115 favorites to draft Sanders. Now, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns are +250 co-favorites, followed by the Saints and New York Giants at +350.
"Shedeur has been all over the place. The Saints seem like a natural fit, but it doesn't appear they have been doing much scouting on him," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said. "We started seeing action on the Saints to draft other positions. He is now favored to be drafted by the Steelers or possibly to the Browns via a trade back into the first round."
Pittsburgh has the 21st pick in the first round. Cleveland is widely expected to draft Travis Hunter – Sanders' Colorado teammate – with the No. 2 pick (more on that below). But the Browns have the first pick in Round 2 and, as Cipollini suggested, could trade up to grab a QB in Round 1.
FanDuel now has a prop bet labeled: Shedeur Free Fall: Shedeur Sanders to be drafted 15th overall or later. The odds were -225 this morning and are now out to -310. So FanDuel oddsmakers now believe it's more likely that Sanders will go 15th or later than that he'll go No. 9 to the Saints or be a top-10 pick.
UPDATE 1 P.M. ET MONDAY: BetMGM has a plethora of NFL Draft prop bets on the board. From the standard choices such as each of the first 10 overall picks, to a variety of player position props and Over/Under on draft position, there are plenty of options on which to wager.
Shedeur Sanders' name is in a lot of them. By name or by inference – for example, there's an Over/Under on number of QBs selected in the first round – Sanders is in at least 13 NFL Draft props.
And bettors are intrigued.
"We've taken a lot of interest on Shedeur," BetMGM trader Will Shamim said. "Overall action on him slowed when Cam Ward became the clear choice for Tennessee [at No. 1], and when both Cleveland and the New York Giants looked like they were only interested in Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter in the top three."
The Browns and Giants hold the second and third overall picks, respectively.
While action slowed on some Sanders props, it picked up in at least one NFL Draft odds market: No. 9 overall pick, held by the New Orleans Saints.
"Sanders money is much slower in the top five picks. But sharps targeted the New Orleans-QB connection when Derek Carr's shoulder injury got leaked," Shamim said. "There are more bets on the Saints to draft a QB as their first position [pick] than on Sanders-related props.
"But Sanders' price for eighth and ninth overall choice could drop quickly this week. Any teams that like him would be looking to jump New Orleans and probably have a willing trade partner in the Saints' divisional rival, the Panthers."
UPDATE 6 P.M. ET THURSDAY: There's nothing new to add here. BetMGM has Miami QB Cam Ward -10000 to be the first overall pick in the NFL Draft. Colorado's Travis Hunter follows at a distant +5000.
UPDATE 1 P.M. ET MONDAY: Three days out from Round 1, this market isn't even a race anymore in NFL Draft odds. But that wasn't always the case.
Months ago, when NFL Draft prop bets first hit the board, BetMGM opened Sanders a -300 favorite to go No. 1 overall. Ward opened as the +450 second choice, but now is a massive -10000 favorite, practically guaranteed to go to the Tennessee Titans.
Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter is now the +3500 second choice to be drafted No. 1 overall. Colorado two-way standout and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter follows at +5000, then Sanders at +8000. No other player is shorter than 300/1.
Hunter actually leads the ticket count at BetMGM, with 28.6 %, 1.5 times more than Sanders and two times more than Ward. But Ward has attracted 60% of money in this market, four times more than either Hunter or Sanders.
Most sportsbooks are also offering a NFL Draft prop on first quarterback selected. But that's ostensibly the same as No. 1 overall pick, since it's extremely likely that Ward will be No. 1 and the first QB selected.
UPDATE 6 P.M. ET THURSDAY: Much like the No. 1 pick, the No. 2 choice seems a mortal lock at sportsbooks across the country. BetMGM has Travis Hunter -5000 to go second overall, to the Cleveland Browns.
UPDATE 11 P.M. ET TUESDAY: Travis Hunter continues to become a larger favorite to go No. 2 overall. Over the past day or so, Hunter moved from -1000 to -2000 at BetMGM, seemingly a lock to go to Cleveland with the second pick.
Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter slid from +600 to +700.
UPDATE 1 P.M. ET MONDAY: Hunter is stretching out in NFL Draft odds to be the No. 2 overall pick. Months ago, he opened as the +1000 third choice to go No. 2 overall.
Earlier this month, BetMGM had Hunter the -300 favorite. On the morning of April 17, he sat at -400. But there was a big move over the course of that day, with Hunter stretching to -900 to go No. 2 to the Cleveland Browns.
"Browns general manager Andrew Berry compared Hunter to Shohei Ohtani and said they were interested in using him both ways," Shamim said, alluding to Hunter as a cornerback and wideout. "We've stayed shorter on him throughout the draft process."
Hunter is now -1000, with Abdul Carter the +600 second choice. Interestingly, Sanders (44.1%) and Hunter (37.9%) account for 85% of all dollars bet on the No. 2 pick at BetMGM.
Also notable: BetMGM has a prop of which wide receiver will be drafted first, but Hunter – widely expected to be a corner first – is not part of that prop.
UPDATE 6 P.M. ET THURSDAY: Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter further established himself as the favorite at No. 3. Carter was -650 Monday, -800 Tuesday and is now -2500 to go third overall to the New York Giants.
UPDATE 1 P.M. ET MONDAY: Abdul Carter is now the -650 favorite to go to the New York Giants at No. 3 overall. But there was so much early hype for Sanders and Hunter that both have taken more tickets and money in BetMGM's NFL Draft odds.
Sanders has almost three times more tickets than Hunter and 4.5 times more than Carter. Hunter has a slight edge in money over Sanders, followed relatively closely by Carter.
But oddsmakers expect the Penn State standout to be the Giants' choice.
UPDATE 6 P.M. ET THURSDAY: Ashton Jeanty is out to the -400 favorite to be the No. 5 overall pick in Caesars Sports' NFL Draft odds. Earlier this week, it looked as if Jeanty was heading to the Las Vegas Raiders at No. 6.
But now, it looks like it'll be either the Jacksonville Jaguars or Chicago Bears getting him at No. 5. The rumor mill has the Bears trading up to get the Boise State standout.
"Jeanty to go fifth in the NFL Draft has been the intriguing action of the day," Caesars head of football trading Joey Feazel said.
UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET THURSDAY: Ashton Jeanty remains BetMGM's favorite to go No. 5 overall, now out to -300 after sitting at -210 Tuesday. However, on the prop of which team drafts the standout running back, the Jaguars are no longer the favorite in NFL Draft odds.
Rather, the Chicago Bears – who currently hold the 10th pick – are -145 to select Jeanty. Jacksonville follows at +110.
"There's enough interest from bettors to have us make him going to Chicago the favorite. That would likely be via a trade," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.
UPDATE NOON ET WEDNESDAY: Ashton Jeanty is favored in two props at BetMGM:
- First running back drafted
- No. 5 overall pick, held by the Jacksonville Jaguars
Since Monday, Jeanty overtook Michigan's Mason Graham as the favorite to be the No. 5 overall pick. Jeanty was +200 to Graham's -120 Monday, but by Tuesday night, it was Jeanty -135/Graham +225. Now, it's Jeanty -210/Graham +260.
And the Jags are now the -105 favorite to select Jeanty. On Monday, the Raiders were -110 favorites, with the No. 6 pick.
"Jeanty has been getting steam toward the No. 5 pick. Over the last few days, his numbers have been all over. There are even rumors that he could be taken as early as No. 3, if a trade is made," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.
For a period of time Tuesday, Jeanty was favored at No. 5 and No. 6. However, he's now the second choice to go No. 6, at +185, behind Missouri offensive tackle Armand Membou (+155).
Jeanty remains favored to go sixth overall, though at +150, a shift from Monday's -125.
UPDATE 1 P.M. ET MONDAY: Boise State star Ashton Jeanty is actually the favorite in two NFL Draft prop bets. Jeanty is a runaway -5000 to be the first running back off the board, and he's also -125 to go with the sixth overall pick, currently held by the Las Vegas Raiders.
Further, on the prop of the position of the Raiders' first pick, running back is -110 chalk, followed by offensive lineman at +350.
There's interest in Jeanty in other NFL Draft odds markets, as well.
"We've taken some heavy action on Ashton Jeanty and Jalon Walker to go top five and top 10," Shamim said, adding the Georgia linebacker to the mix.
For the prop of first running back drafted, Jeanty is No. 2 in tickets, slightly behind North Carolina's Omarion Hampton. But Jeanty is No. 1 in money, taking twice as much cash as No. 2 Hampton.
Other Notable NFL Draft Props
UPDATE 4:30 P.M. ET THURSDAY: The Over/Under on first-round quarterbacks continues to fluctuate in NFL Draft odds. On Monday at BetMGM, Over 2.5 was a -210 favorite. But by Tuesday night, the prop was getting closer to pick 'em, at Over -125/Under -105.
This afternoon, BetMGM is back out to Over -210/Under +160. At Caesars Sports, Over 2.5 is -180 and Under +140, and at DraftKings Sportsbook, it's Over -225/Under +170.
Also at DK, if you want take a flier, you can bet Over 4.5 QBs in the first round, at +1800.
UPDATE 11 P.M. ET TUESDAY: On Monday at BetMGM, Over 2.5 QBs taken in the first round was a -210 favorite, with Under a +160 underdog. Tonight, perhaps with concerns about a Sanders freefall or Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart not being taken in Round 1, Over 2.5 is just a -125 favorite, while Under is -105.
UPDATE 1 P.M. ET MONDAY: Shamim said BetMGM is seeing general sharp action on player and position Over/Unders. And per usual, quarterback markets are generating a lot of interest in 2025 NFL Draft odds.
"We've seen a lot of movement/short prices on teams to draft a QB with their first pick, including teams with established starters," Shamim said. "It will be interesting to see if a surprise team makes a Falcons-Michael Penix style move for a Sanders, Jaxson Dart or Jalen Milroe."
Ward and Sanders are both expected to go in the first round, and potentially Ole Miss QB Dart. The Over/Under on first-round QBs is -2.5, with Over a -210 favorite and Under a +160 'dog at BetMGM.
If Alabama QB Milroe goes in the first round, as well, that would shake things up in a few prop markets.

NFL Draft History of No. 1 Picks
Looking at recent NFL Draft history, quarterbacks have been selected first in 12 of the last 16 drafts.
- 2024 - Caleb Williams, QB, Chicago Bears
- 2023 - Bryce Young, QB, Carolina Panthers
- 2022 - Travon Walker, Edge, Jacksonville Jaguars
- 2021 - Trevor Lawrence, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars
- 2020 - Joe Burrow, QB, Cincinnati Bengals
- 2019 - Kyler Murray, QB, Arizona Cardinals
- 2018 - Baker Mayfield, QB, Cleveland Browns
- 2017 - Myles Garrett, DE, Cleveland Browns
- 2016 - Jared Goff, QB, Los Angeles Rams
- 2015 - Jameis Winston, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- 2014 - Jadeveon Clowney, DE, Houston Texans

- 2011 - Cam Newton, QB, Carolina Panthers
- 2010 - Sam Bradford, QB, St. Louis Rams
- 2009 - Matthew Stafford, QB, Detroit Lions
A quarterback has been taken with the No. 1 overall pick in six of the last seven drafts but the 2022 installment saw Jacksonville select Travon Walker, a defensive standout from Georgia.
The No. 1 overall pick has been a quarterback or a lineman in each of the last 24 drafts, making it highly unlikely that a running back, receiver, linebacker or defensive back will be the first player selected in the 2025 NFL Draft.
