2025 NFL Draft odds: 3 wagers to make right now

1 week ago | foxsports.com | Sam Panayotovich

Now that we’re all flush with cash after sweeping our Masters bets, the next obstacle in the sports betting world is the 2025 NFL Draft. Draft betting definitely isn’t what it used to be, mostly because sharp bettors destroyed it for a handful of years, but betting opportunities still exist in the market. Just understand that the days of betting a player "Under" 40.5 to see his market close at 33.5 while he gets selected 22nd overall are gone. We’ll never forget you, Quay Walker.

1 week ago | foxsports.com | Sam Panayotovich

It’s never too early to talk college football. Spring games are already underway, we’ve seen practice footage of a surprisingly smiley Bill Belichick in Carolina Blue and star quarterback Nico Iamaleava is leaving Tennessee high and dry for "greener pastures."Oh, and season win totals are posted at several sportsbooks. Rejoice!I’m not exactly the biggest fan of tying up my money for eight months, but some of these numbers are very interesting.
Scheffler favored at Masters, but books feel ‘this is Rory’s best shot to do it’

For many American sports bettors, The Masters is the first real dip in the golf pool every calendar year. Sure, bettors might have followed the sport from afar, but with football season and the NCAA Tournament over, it’s time to fire. It’s also the first tournament where all the big names from the PGA Tour and LIV Golf play together, which does wonders for interest at the window.

Four great teams, four successful programs and four No. 1 seeds. College basketball should impress this weekend down in San Antonio, where Auburn, Duke, Florida and Houston all aim to be the last team standing. And say what you want about the lack of sleepers and upsets, this has all the ingredients to create one of the most exciting men’s Final Fours ever. Let’s see if we can build on our 7-4 run this tourney. No. 1 Florida (-2.5, O/U 159.5) vs. No. 1 AuburnHow healthy is Johni Broome?
2025 LIV Golf odds: Value exists with second-tier golfers in Miami

3 weeks ago | foxnews.com | Sam Panayotovich

The LIV Golf League is headed back to America. After stops in Saudi Arabia, Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore, we’re headed to Trump National Doral in Miami, Fla. It’ll be the first stateside event this season, and it’ll serve as a major tune-up for anyone headed to Augusta. Dean Burmester earned the victory in Miami last year. Most of the marquee names are playing this weekend and Jon Rahm (+600) sits atop the betting board at DraftKings Sportsbook.
2025 Men's March Madness odds: 'We just need any of these favorites to go down'

3 weeks ago | foxsports.com | Sam Panayotovich

The 2025 men’s NCAA Tournament is about as favorite-driven as it gets. Upsets have been few and far between and only three games saw a team seeded higher than three slots pull off an outright upset: 12-seed McNeese over 5-seed Clemson, 11-seed Drake over 6-seed Missouri, and 10-seed Arkansas over 2-seed St. John’s. That's it. I know you want to add 12-seed Colorado State over 5-seed Memphis, but the Rams closed as a 3-point favorite, so it’s literally not an upset.
2025 Men's March Madness odds: Best bets for Duke-Arizona, Houston-Purdue

And then there were 16. The first two rounds of the men’s NCAA Tournament are in the books, and outside a few exciting upsets — like McNeese over Clemson, Drake over Missouri and Arkansas over St. John’s — it’s been mostly chalk city. That probably won’t change this Thursday and Friday. My first-round bets finished 4-3 last week, and I’m betting three more games in the coming days. Remember, this space isn’t the place for a million picks or five-leg parlays.

The 19-day, 64-team NCAA men’s tournament tips off Thursday and millions of Americans will wager billions of dollars in almost 40 states. Are you ready? Bookmakers started opening their side and total markets last Sunday and bettors have mostly whacked everything into shape over the last few days. I’ve circled my favorite seven bets on the first-round slate, and I'm hoping to do some damage so you’re flush for the games this weekend. Let’s go to work.
