Dallas, Texas – With the NFL draft looming, the betting odds are creating speculation and intrigue among fans and analysts. Legalized wagering has added a new layer of excitement to the pre-draft process, offering insights into potential draft picks and team strategies.

In the latest odds update, the Pittsburgh Steelers have emerged as the frontrunners to select quarterback Shedeur Sanders. The Saints have now slipped behind, with Sanders potentially falling to 12-1 odds. Pittsburgh, holding the 21st overall pick, is currently favored at +170 to draft Sanders.

Surprisingly, the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants are also in the mix, with the Browns at +215 and the Giants at +225. While it remains uncertain whether Sanders will land with either team, the possibility of a second or third overall pick is not out of the question.

Despite the speculation, former Giants assistant and current Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule has endorsed Sanders as a top pick, even suggesting the Giants take him at No. 3. This endorsement raises questions about a potential shift in the Giants’ draft strategy.

Additionally, the idea of an unexpected team making a play for Sanders through a trade-up scenario adds further intrigue to the draft process. The notion of an owner-driven decision to secure Sanders, potentially influenced by the prospect of having Deion Sanders as a future head coach, presents a unique angle to draft discussions.

The dynamic between Shedeur Sanders, his father Deion, and the possible implications for NFL teams adds an element of uncertainty and excitement to the impending draft. As teams weigh the financial benefits and risks associated with selecting Sanders, the draft day decisions could result in surprises that rival past draft day upsets.
