Winners And Losers In Prop Bets For Round 2 Of 2020 NFL Draft
The 2020 NFL Draft set viewing and betting records, and bookmakers were able to continue adding prop bets leading right up to the draft. There were winners and losers following an unprecedented Round 1 that was done virtually from the homes of teams coaches and executives.
William Hill had more than 100 props offered in Nevada, and even more unique props in New Jersey, where leading revenue operator FanDuel also offered 5 main categories of NFL Draft propositions, labeled “Player Props” by the sportsbook.
The interest soared along with more props. Nevada was first able to offer wagering on the NFL Draft in 2017, and William Hill had just 10 props. Same for New Jersey in its first year taking bets for last year’s NFL Draft. Now they both have more than 100 props offered. And bettors dug in.
“Nevada’s handle for this draft is around five times bigger versus other years,” William Hill Director of Trading Nick Bogdanovich said in a press release. “It’s the equivalent of a Thursday Night Football game.”
While Round 1 draws the most interest and has more props, Rounds 2-3 had fans and bettors interest and some of the over/under draft position numbers were reset.
“People really love the draft, there’s just so much interest surrounding it,” Bogdanovich said.
I posted some of the Round 2 player props along with a recap of Round 1 in an article at Offshore Gaming Association.
Following the 2020 NFL Draft, many analysts, beat reports and fans will have opinions on which teams were winners and losers in the NFL Draft. That includes for the Las Vegas Raiders, who drew pretty good grades from the teams local reporters despite not having any picks in Rounds 5, 6 or 7. However, others questioned some of the Raiders picks and made it harder to justify some of the selections received from the Pro Bowl linebacker Khalil Mack trade to the Bears in 2018.
Here were some of the differences in player draft position in Round 2 from offshore operator BetOnline compared to William Hill‘s original draft position.
QB Jacob Eason: 52.5 (Over -175)
QB Jalen Hurts: 51.5 (Over -190)
QB Jake Fromm: 70.5 (Over -220)
RB D’Andre Swift: 38.5 (Over -240)
RB Jonathan Taylor: 44.5 (Over -160)
RB JK Dobbins: 50.5 (Under -150)
WR Tee Higgins: 41.5 (Under -125)
WR Denzel Mims: 39.5 (Under -175)
TE Cole Kmet: 43.5 (Over -180)
