How many University of Georgia players will be selected in the NFL draft this week? The over/under is 8.5.
How many Alabama players? The over/under is 10.5.
And how long will NFL commissioner Roger Goodell be booed when he takes the stage at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium for the start of the draft? There’s an over/under for that, too: 45.5 seconds.
Those figures were set by the oddsmakers at SportsBettingDime.com, which released a long list of draft odds and prop bets Tuesday.
According to those oddsmakers, the most likely draft order – barely -- for the top four quarterbacks is: Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, Josh Rosen, Josh Allen. And the over/under on the number of quarterbacks to be taken in the first round is 5.5.
Alabama is the heavy favorite to have the most players drafted, with Georgia and Ohio State likely to have the next most.
And the over/under on the number of 2018 first-round picks that will be traded between today and the end of Round 1 is 7.5.
