Oddsmakers take a look at Cowboys, Goodell, fashion in NFL draft
Intrigue.
The NFL Draft has plenty of it.
To add to the guessing game, the oddsmakers at www.SportsBettingDime.com took a look at some of the storylines for this week’s three-day draft in Philadelphia.
Although the Cleveland Browns have the first overall pick, the Dallas Cowboys are the most talked about.
What will Hall of Fame owner/general manager/president Jerry Jones do?
If they stay put, the Cowboys have the 28th overall selection.
With the draft being in Philadelphia, the odds are 3 to 2 that the Cowboys and New York Giants will be booed the longest by the fans. Washington rolls in at 5-1. All are NFC East opponents of the Eagles.
Speaking of boos, the over/under on the length of time Roger Goodell is booed when he first steps to the podium is 12.5 seconds
