With the NFL Combine in the books, that means it’s full-on NFL Mock Draft season. But even with new testing data at our disposal, there are still many unknowns heading into this draft.
For starters, there is no clear-cut No. 1 pick and while there are some high-ceiling quarterbacks like Malik Willis and Matt Corral, there is no Andrew Luck or Joe Burrow in this class.
With the combine in the rearview mirror, more betting options will be on the way as NFL Draft odds are available, so here is version 2.0 of my 2022 NFL Mock Draft to help get us prepared. You can also review Mock Draft version 1.0.

Super Bowl LVII is the biggest “public” betting event on the calendar for sportsbooks, which means a wave of first-time and recreation bettors driving the action, rather than wise guys and professional gamblers.
That influx of public money has many people looking to risk a little to win a lot with their Super Bowl picks. That’s the reason a bet like a “safety being the first score” of the Big Game is now sitting around +4,000 odds compared to the +7,500 it used to have a decade ago.
You see, bookmakers took a bath on that specific prop not once but twice in recent years, with Super Bowl XLVI and Super Bowl XLVIII both having a safety as the opening score of the game. Those long-shot bets took a good chunk out of the books’ p…
Looking through the Week 7 odds, I truly feel why fantasy football analysts call this “byemageddon” — there are six teams inactive this week, including some very fun defenses to attack for Overs (Tennessee and Carolina), as well as a few that help when betting the Under on NFL odds (Dallas and the New York Jets).
So, we’re left mostly to gleam through either a bunch of games involving the middle of the pack for making NFL picks this week… orrrrrrrr….. we just hammer what few bad defenses are available this week.
That sounds like the better option; so after fading the Giants, the Cardinals, and the Bolts with my first three NFL player props for this Sunday’s slate, I’m continuing to attack bad defenses (including pic…
It doesn’t get much better than this for an NFL regular season game. The Miami Dolphins will host the Buffalo Bills as the Fins will aim to do something they have not accomplished since 2008 on Sunday Night Football in Week 18 and win the AFC East.
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen is trying to prevent that. He’s had quite the adventurous season with some extreme highs and some low points that were just the same. Still, he sits in the season’s final week with the opportunity to cash in on the majority of preseason goals his team would have set.
You can see how I’m betting the Josh Allen odds as we dive into the Sunday Night Football odds in my free NFL picks below.

It took more than a year, but Aaron Rodgers finally has a victory under his belt as a member of the New York Jets.
The four-time MVP threw for 176 yards and two touchdowns as he guided Gang Green to a 24-17 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 2. It was just Rodgers’ third regular season game for the franchise as he makes his way back from a devastating Achilles injury suffered in his home opener in 2023.
A-Rod and the Jets will try to soar again when they take on the 1-1 New England Patriots tonight in primetime. The Pats are still smarting from a 23-20 OT loss to the Seahawks and enter the game as 6.5-point underdogs.
There are a number of subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this evening’s game, but did…
Sean Dyche has revealed the aeroplane stunt at Manchester City on Monday night caused considerable annoyance in the Burnley dressing room and several players other than Ben Mee wanted to take the opportunity to express their feelings on live television.
“It was my decision to let the captain speak for everyone, but Ben was not the only one upset by the whole episode,” the Burnley manager said. “Ben spoke fantastically well but a lot of our players were disgruntled, and understandably so. This club does a lot of work in the community and in local education projects, and we don’t want all our efforts undermined by a few people with an unacceptable message.

Barcelona’s president, Joan Laporta, said he was “embarrassed and ashamed” after a reported 30,000 Eintracht Frankfurt fans made it into the Camp Nou for Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final despite away fans being allocated only 5,000 tickets.
Barca were sensationally knocked out of the competition by the German club after the winger Filip Kostic scored twice in a 3-2 victory that enabled Eintracht to advance 4-3 on aggregate to a semi-final against West Ham. Barcelona were expecting huge backing at the stadium but ESPN reported there were close to 30,000 Eintracht fans among the 79,468 crowd.

Will Still’s tenure at Reims began with a feisty draw against PSG. The manager, born in Belgium to British parents, faces the club for a third time on Saturday. He has come a long way since his managerial debut, transcending the image constructed of him when he was given the job and bringing champagne football back to the region.
A former video analyst, Still arrived from Belgium as an unknown quantity. However, he quickly found fame over the course of a 17-game unbeaten run – the longest in Ligue 1 last season. During that time, the focus was as much on how he had taken Reims from the relegation conversation and into European contention as it was on his credentials, or his lack thereof, and his pathway to management. With each passing w…
The NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Finals both have the night off Tuesday in a case of bad timing. So the diamond will be the best place to find some action tonight.But we won't forget to check in on the ladies. Caitlin Clark might have the night off but you may have heard there are plenty of other good players in the WNBA. PITTSBURGH PIRATES AT ST. LOUIS CARDINALSPaul Skenes is just getting started and we will all be 20 years older when he finishes his career. In other words, he will be a dominating force on the mound for a long time.Skenes has lived up to his lofty billing through five major league starts, going 3-0 and striking out 38 and walking just six in 27 innings. He has limited opposing batters to a .212 average but has served up four homers.The Pirates are 4-1 when Skenes sta…
Two years ago, Virginia Tech entered the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament as the No. 7 seed, believing it needed a deep run to advance to the NCAA Tournament. Forget the deep run. The Hokies removed all doubt as they rolled to four straight wins to capture their first-ever ACC basketball title and earned an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. This week as Virginia Tech (18-13) enters the conference tournament as the No. 8 seed, the mission is similar. Also looking for a charmed run is the Hokies' opponent Wednesday in Washington, D.C., ninth-seeded Florida State (16-15). On paper it's hard to find teams more evenly matched. They tied in the regular season standings and split their two matchups, each winning on its home floor. "The hope that we hang onto is ther…
