DON’T DISMISS LEVIS: A major odds shake-up for No. 1 pick
OUTRAGEOUS OFFER: A special guest provides an SGP
EXPERT PICKS: MLB, NBA and even a midweek soccer best bet
Will Levis is still the favorite to be the second overall pick at +175.
NFL draft week is peak smokescreen season, and this year is no different. There have been some major odds shifts for the top picks — are you buying️♂️ them?
These players aren’t the favorites in these respective markets, but they’ve gone from extreme longshots to viable. Senior Trader Corey Travers explains the moves.
Will Levis Odds to Be First Pick
Yesterday: +5000
Lowest Odds Today: +175
Current: +600
ASK THE TRADER: “We took rapid spurts of bets on Levis earlier today at prices of +5000 and +1000 based on speculative information. While it can be difficult to verify information in spots like this, we have to respect the money that’s coming in due to the relative pricing uncertainty associated with NFL draft markets. We then saw a decent flood of money on [Bryce] Young and have eased back on our position on Levis accordingly.”
Paris Johnson Odds to Be Third Pick
Last Thursday: +10000
Sunday: +6600
Current: +325
ASK THE TRADER: “We received some sharp money on Paris to go third Monday afternoon in the +2000 range, and have seen some bets continue to trickle in at less advantageous pricing since then. Based on the source and frequency of bets received on Johnson, we decided to shorten his price significantly.”

EXPERT PICKS
Ariel Epstein hit both of her best bets yesterday, and she's back for more. Jon Eimer and Max Meyer will try to keep up with the Prop Queen.
THE PROP QUEEN
Rockies' Ryan Feltner under 3.5 strikeouts (+125) [6:10 p.m. ET]
"The Guardians have the second-lowest K-rate against righty starters, so let's take advantage of the plus money."
Red Sox First 5 ML (+125) @ Orioles [6:35 p.m. ET]
"Kyle Bradish is 0-3 with a 7.54 ERA in five starts against Boston. Rafael Devers loves to feast on the O's righty, as he's batting .462 against him."
THE SOCCER GUY
GAME PROPS: Man City ML + Over 1.5 Goals vs. Arsenal (-145) [Wednesday, 3 p.m. ET]
"It’s hard to bet against a City side that has outscored their opponents 31-4 over their last 7 games. Meanwhile, Arsenal is in their worst form this season."
"Maybe the shorthanded Clippers wear down at the end of the game, but they won’t go out without a fight when facing elimination. L.A. has actually outscored Phoenix in first halves this series, and none of them have been decided by more than 5 points."
ASK THE TRADER: “The Bears are our biggest Super Bowl liability by a lot at the moment. Among the top liabilities, the Jets have by far the shortest odds to actually win. While the Rodgers news has been priced into the market for weeks now, Jets to win the Super Bowl remains a popular bet.” – Corey Travers, Senior Trader
KEY FACTS: The Timberwolves avoided the sweep with an overtime victory in Game 4 thanks to Anthony Edwards’ third straight game with 30+ points. But they’ll need to snap their four-game losing streak at Ball Arena to extend the series, and Nikola Jokic is averaging a triple-double there this season (24.5 PTS/13.0 REB/10.9 AST).
TRENDING: The Nuggets have been close to unbeatable on their home court this season, going 36-7 straight up and 28-15 ATS. They’re also 19-10 straight up after a loss (including 9-2 at home after a road loss).
INSIGHTS: The spread opened at Nuggets -9 and has gone up to -10. The total has seen an even bigger shift, crashing ⏬ from 223 to 220.5. The most lopsided action on a straight market is the moneyline, though, as Denver (-450) has attracted 86% of the tickets and 92% of the handle.
TOP PROP: The player prop receiving the most handle is the over for Rudy Gobert rebounds, which has increased from 11.5 to 12.5. He’s grabbed at least 13 boards in two of the games this series, including 15 on Sunday.
