NFL Draft - Bodog Prop Bets

The 2007 NFL Draft will take place at Radio City Music Hall in New York on April 28th and 29th. This will be the 28th straight year that it’s been televised on ESPN (it will also air on the NFL Network), and it will also mark the first draft that new NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has been a part of.

There are 255 draft selections this year, and that number consists of 223 regular picks in rounds one through seven and 32 compensatory selections in rounds three through seven.

As you might have expected, Bodog is offering all kinds of odds on the outcome of the draft. Not only can you bet one who will be the first overall player selected, but you can also bet up to $100 each on who will be selected with picks two through eight. And, of course, there are many other NFL Draft props that I’ll cover is later articles.

In this feature, we’re going to be looking at picks 5 through 8 in the first round. These teams currently hold those picks:

Pick 5 - Arizona Cardinals - 2006 Record: 5-11

Pick 6 - Washington Redskins - 2006 Record: 5-11

Pick 7 - Minnesota Vikings - 2006 Record 6-10

Pick 8 - Atlanta Falcons - 2006 Record 7-9 (pick acquired in a trade with the Houston Texans)

If you decide to wager with Bodog, keep in mind that there are no parlays. If the pick ends up being traded to another team, the wager will be graded as whoever selects in that position. Now let’s take a look at the odds.
