Some Intriguing NFL Draft Wagers, From Hacking to Pizza
I’ve never been a huge fan of watching a draft, even the NFL draft, which is the Cadillac of drafts, if that term still applies.
Do I want to know who gets picked by which teams? Yes. Do I want to watch it for hours and hours? No. I don’t need a minute-by-minute update with analysis. That’s especially true this year, when the Bears’ top draft picks come at No. 43 and 50.
No problem with that. Trading draft picks to get Khalil Mack? Excellent decision.
That said, if you love the draft, and are starved for sports action, here are some interesting propositions. They are real. From BetOnLine.
Anyone who uses this information for anything more than. . . amusement. . . all I’ll say is, ``Wow!’’ But some of them are fun.
Will the NFL draft be hacked? Will pizza be seen in any draftee home?
If I ever were a betting man, I’d be more tempted by the hack (8/1) than the pizza (1/3). But I am most definitely not a betting man.
Enjoy the draft. Responsibly.
