The Tennessee Titans own the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft and there appears to be some indecision on who they should take. 

Based on the most recent 2025 NFL Draft odds, Cam Ward overtook Shedeur Sanders as the betting favorite, but steam is beginning to come in on Travis Hunter thanks to this quote from Titans President of Football Ops, Chad Brinker: 

"We won't pass on a generational talent with the first pick in the NFL Draft"

Take that as you will, but for now, here are the latest NFL odds.

Latest NFL Draft odds news and updates

January 22, 2025: The Tennessee Titans are on the clock with the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The President of Football Ops has laid the groundwork for them to select Travis Hunter and his odds are on the move. Hunter's odds have shortened from +850 two weeks ago, to +140 on Wednesday, and possibly shorter by the end of the day. Cam Ward still continues to pace the market, with Abdul Carter shooting up the odds board at +1400. 

• Quarterback is the most important position on the football field and following Chicago taking Caleb Williams at No.1 in 2024, 20 of the last 27 first-overall picks have been QBs.

• All but two of the last 17 NFL Drafts have seen an offensive lineman get picked in the Top 10, with 2024 being no different as Joe Alt went fifth and JC Latham went at No.7.

How to bet on the 2025 NFL Draft

Sportsbooks will post odds for the player to go first overall in the draft as soon as the previous year's draft is over. Once the college football season begins in September, these odds could change weekly depending on how players are performing as well as the evaluations of trusted draftniks such as Mel Kiper Jr.

In addition, this NFL futures bet may also take into account the team needs of the worst team(s) in the NFL.

After the NCAA football season is over, NFL Draft odds will solidify after key events such as the underclassmen declaration deadline, the NFL Scouting Combine and pro days. In the weeks leading up to the draft, sportsbooks will offer more NFL Draft prop bets. 

Understanding NFL Draft odds

The odds of going first overall in the NFL Draft will typically look like this:

  • Shedeur Sanders +400

This means that if you placed a $100 bet on Sanders, you would win $400 if the Buffaloes QB goes first overall in 2025. When you get closer to the draft and there is a consensus on who will go first overall, you might see a player with a minus sign (-) ahead of his odds, like this:

  • Carson Beck -550

This means you'd have to bet $550 to win $100 on Beck being drafted first overall.
