Mock drafts and oddsmakers everywhere tell us that Alabama quarterback Bryce Young is all but locked into being the No. 1 overall pick of the Carolina Panthers in next week’s NFL draft. But what about No. 2, where odds are starting to point in a new direction?
Instead of Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud, who was the favorite to go first overall for some time, it appears the Houston Texans are leaning elsewhere with the No. 2 pick. And recently, the player who has picked up steam in the odds market is Kentucky quarterback Will Levis.
“Bayou Bets” hosts Zach Ewing and Jim Derry reacted to that surprising news and more on Thursday’s live edition of the show, which focuses on sports betting and Louisiana sports and is sponsored by Caesars Sportsbook, official odds partner of The Advocate and Times-Picayune.
Also discussed on the show were odds for which position the New Orleans Saints would take first, which NFC South division rival may be trending toward taking a running back, live odds for the Zurich Classic of New Orleans and NBA playoffs series prices.
The show airs live at 4 p.m. every Monday and Thursday on the Bayou Bets YouTube channel, with a special 6 p.m. episode next Thursday live during the NFL draft, with live updates from the Saints’ Airline Drive headquarters and odds updating in real time.
