Can I Bet on the NFL Draft 2014 Online? Mr. Irrelevant, Jedeveon Clowney

You will be able to bet on Thursday’s NFL Draft at Sportsbook.com.  Some of the earlier betting options included whether the last person drafted will be an offensive or defensive player.  Sportsbook.com deems this individual as “Mr. Irrelevant”.  More NFL Draft betting options were released Monday afternoon and appear below.

As Draft Day approaches you will be able to bet on each round and when certain players will be picked.

You will be able to place wagers on the 2014 overall number one NFL Draft pick.  Early odds had Jedeveon Clowney as the 4/9 favorite with Blake Bortels at 5/1 odds.  Johnny Manziel had early odds of 8/1.

“This is always an exciting time of year for us here at Gambling911.com,” noted Senior Editor Payton O’Brien.  “There is such a frenzy of betting as people get a small taste of the upcoming NFL season at the start of spring during a period typically reserved for the NBA Playoffs and Triple Crown.”

Check your television guide for specific network airing times as this year’s NFL Draft will be airing on either ESPN or the NFL Network.  Each network has made changes in personnel for live coverage, which begins Thursday (Round 1 starts at 8 p.m. ET) and extends to Friday (Rounds 2-3; 7 p.m.) and Saturday (Rounds 4-7; 12 p.m.).

Unfortunately many subscribers do not have access to the NFL Network.  The NFL Network's first-round coverage last year averaged 1.5 million viewers, up seven percent over 2012.

Last year ESPN's first round coverage averaged 6.61 million viewers, down seven percent from the 2012 Draft.  However, there is likely more drama heading into this year’s Draft and many pundits believe ratings should shoot back upwards.
